Getting very frustrated. Updated to 1.02.049 last week using Stardock Central and now the game constantly crashes my computer. Ran fine before the update. Downloaded SmartException, the crash prevents it from logging anything. Happens irregardless of Autosave settings. Music keeps playing but system is froze - have to hold down the power button to reboot. Running Windows XP on a Pentium 4 w/ 256 MB of RAM - O/S and all drivers are up to date. Every copy of debug.err I have seen has ASSERT errors when running MEMMAN.CPP.

Have posted 4 separate times to the forum and have sent e-mails to [email protected] and [email protected] and have not even received an acknowledgement of the problem.

Is there somewhere else I should be contacting for technical support?

I played the game for 2 weeks and LOVED it. No way I can go back to CivIII now, but am at a loss for how to fix this.

ANY help would be appreciated!

Thanks
