My game always crashes after I play for a few in-game weeks. Every time I enter or change an area, the game crashes to desktop without any areas. I can load the game, which will, in the case of me changing areas on the zoomed-in map, continue with me moving forward in the map. However, moving again causes the game to crash.

This also happens when I try to go back to the zoomed-out map, which actually works. However, as soon as I attempt to go zoomed-in, the game crashes again.

This has happened to three of my characters after a few weeks in-game, so I haven't been able to get too far.

I could upload my saves somewhere if anyone wants to see them.

Running version 3.03.1 on XP x64.

Well, you're the first 64-bit XP user I've heard of on this board, but it sounds like your save may have been corrupted.

You haven't been save-scumming, have you?

If you are dead, start a new character. :lol:

Mmm, other than that, have you tried travelling far away from that area (another region), and then zooming in?

It could be a problem with just that area.

Hi,

please do archive your savefile when you encounter this kind of crash for the first time and send it over to me by e-mail.

Thanks,

Nope, not save-scumming.

Here's a save that exhibits this problem (I deleted the other one already).

Just move south and it'll show "Loading area" and then crash soon after.

Three of my chars have been unplayable, all around the same gameplay time due to this, so it doesn't seem like a one-time problem like a corrupted save.

btw, I just gave this character a shot in my 32-bit install and it still crashes, so I don't think it's related to x64.

Ah nevermind, I found the problem. Reinstalling fixed it.
