Map size crashes

[Markgraf]

There's a lot of different types of crashes in Civ4 so I don't want to know about them, but I do experience a crash to the desktop whenever I play on a large map, and it typically begins crashing around the late 1500's/early 1600's. It doesn't crash on standard size maps.

Does anyone know the cause of the large-size map crashes? It doesn't seem to be graphics related because the game performs well both speedwise and graphically. It just suddenly stops running and you're back to the desktop.

The game has worked great for me until I finished building the spaceship. After visiting this forum, Im amazed at all the problems people are having with this game... I just wanted to find out if anyone had problem with the spaceship, too

Markgraf; A way that -might- work for you is to exit the game and empty the cache-folder. This can be done two different ways, as found on firaxis.com;

1) Holding down shift as the app starts (requires the Civ patch or later), or

2) Deleting the cache directory manually:
Cocuments and SettingsUSERNAMEApplication DataMy Gamescivilization4cache
(Application Data is a hidden folder and you have to have view hidden folders set in your folder options to see it)

Dunno if that might help you...
