Game Crashes Randomly

[Valpojeff]

I am having similar problems like others here. Running the game in Dx10/11 mode with the intro cut scene disabled. The game freezes every few turns or so, seems to be random, forcing me to alt-tab out and shut it down.

Could you try updating your driver with the nvidia beta release drivers for September?

Thanks, and let me know.

I'm downloading the beta driver now and will test. I will post my results back later today. Thanks for the quick response.

I updated to the beta 260.63 NVIDIA drivers. The game froze again after playing 19 turns. New drivers didn't seem to help.

Bumping this back up to make sure they see that the Nvidia beta drivers did not solve the problem.

Also, I have continued to play the game, reloading my last save after each crash, and have noticed that as I get up into turns 340+ the game now crashes more frequently. I can only get 1 or 2 turns in before locking up, making this game unplayable now.

I've got the same issue. Completely random.

Basically, the game freezes up visually. I cannot zoom in, out, and no graphic elements change. When I click a menu item, sometimes I hear the audio "click" for my actions. Right now the game is unplayble, crashing at turns 40, 150, 400, completely random.
