Game crashes if caravel is selected

[Wrth]

Alright, got the game and I am unable to play.

Game starts ok up until in the beginning of first turn I get the Royal Charter screen. If I click 'Continue' the game will CTD.

If before clicking 'Continue' I change the active unit to either the soldier or the pioneer and then click 'Continue' the Royal Charter screen closes and game does not crash. But if I select the caravel after that the game will CTD. I can even end turns but cannot really play since I can't move the caravel to make a landfall

Sounds like a graphics card issue. Before going into a game, go into graphics options and turn graphics to low, zero anti-aliasing and everything else on low.

Sir, you are a genius! Seems to be working now

Anti-aliasing tends to be the bane of certain games' existence. Not sure why, but it causes a lot of crashes for a lot of people, in other games as well, even with perfectly adequate graphics cards...

Probably because it defaults to off in many games, so most players never even touch it. So graphics card companies probably don't get a lot of in-the-wild bug reports from crashes involving AA.

I guess. AA is so important in almost any game, though ...
