Ways to crash playing Civ V

[Aro]

This happened to me...

If you load a game, and you decide that's not the game you want, and immediately you load another... You get a crash. I did, and I got it three times... In fact, the game freezes and you have to ctrl/del to get the computer back.
And the crash is exactly at "CvGameCoreDLLFinal Release.dll", according the log.
Could be Windows of course...

Anyway... How much time must a game takes to load? An eternity, I think... And my computer is above all the recommended specs... And another eternity to save, btw...

My first crash.

My computer takes a couple minutes to load a game, but only a few seconds to save.

The only crash I've discovered is in the "strategic view"... the crash is not consistent; sometimes I can go there very briefly and it won't crash, sometimes it crashes almost immediately.

I have exactly the same problem. I thought I was alone. Do you know if this is a common and known crush?

It's a crash I found out about last night the hard way. The strategic view would be really rather useful, it's annoying for it to be unstable

I got a crash (me first) yesterday. I popped a goodie hut, and it annoyed me that I got the reveal territory result in an area where I had already cleared all FoW. I reloaded, and got the same result again. Reloaded again, and crashed during loading.

After restarting the game, there were no problems.

I could'nt reproduce my first crash... Was some windows thing, I suppose... After I restart the computer, everyting is fine. My saves are fast again...

Directly loading a game from a game does seem to lead to some crashes. The best option is to exit to the main menu and THEN load a game. That only adds a couple of seconds, and helps avoid the majority of the crashes.

I have an old computer that I just upgraded the memory and video card to slightly below minimum levels for the game, and I've had no problems running the game. Saves don't take more than a few seconds, but loading a game take a few minutes depending on how big the file is.

Oops, I did it again. But, appearently, just happens when I play Babylon. Nebuchedanezzar II... It seems to be a consistent bug.
