why in later eras game sometimes randomly closes?

[tramwajg]

I noticed it's mostly when game is cycling through units in later game, if there is large distance between two units, game can close?

Likely it's a CTD because you run out of memory.
You can follow some of the following:
Zoom in more, turn off yield icons, reduce graphics settings, use single/reduced unit formations

And put leader screen graphics to lowest (still images).

thank you, I did all, should I increase my ram? I think it is 6800 mhz and 64 gb now

 

[hokath]

No, it's not hardware related. The application is only 32 bit so only uses so much RAM before it dies.

Since I'm on 4k now I run everything option wise on low to lower crash count. I can make it to late game and faster turn times. Sadly Nasa computer can't help us.

use single/reduced unit formations

this is a llfe saver tip

use single/reduced unit formations

hey, I was not able to find it anywhere in settings (I checked interface and graphics), any idea where it is?

Note to self: Fix Siege Towers, they are huge rofl

Also, sadly, if you have memory crashes you should use the non-eui version of the game as it takes less memory to run.

I've never had to resort to non-EUI.
But I guess if you make the map large enough, or if you want to forego some of the other options, it's something you can try.

I believe using EUI and/or playing with yield icons turned on makes crashes much more likely. I always play non-EUI and without yield icons and for me the game never crashes, even though my graphics settings are on medium/high.

To me that's 100% unplayable.

Playing without the yield icons in late game is fine, but yes, without EUI it's not the same experience, especially on the diplomatic side.

That is why I'm looking forward to your idea of "rewriting the EUI and making it fully customizable without unnecessary cashing"! It's a really good idea.

Thanks, def will try, I have a lot of issues from industrial and onwards.

Why EUI is a must to me:
1. Not having to go into a menu to see what other leaders have and how they think of you, especially in a deal screen or leader dialogue where it's impossible. Same with city state quests and WLTKD requests.
2. Flag promotions. Knowing all units' promotions at a glance. I also don't have to remember promotions and what they do by their icons.
3. Improved City View, specifically the grouped specialists. Non-EUI's separation of purchase/invest and produce menu is also horrible.
4. Red border around enemies during war. It's baffling when I notice I can easily be forgetting I'm at war with someone if I return to a game in non-EUI.
5. Tooltip stuff. EUI is not perfect at this though, so I've been rewriting the tooltip code for VPUI.
