I'd like to bump this question up as <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6032-rejectedegg/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="6032" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6032-rejectedegg/">@rejectedegg</a> is having the same sort of problem and although we've tried a few things here and there, I think we need to ask cleverer people than me for potential solutions.
Specifically she is having a fatal access error when running Large size (or <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> Very Large) maps. She has tried switching from DX11 to DX9 and that "appeared" to hold the problem at bay for a little while but it didn't stop it from happening.
Particular details from her crash gump state that the fatal access violation occurred in VideoDX9-x64.dll (after she tried using DX9), I believe the same error occurs with DX11.
So yeah, any suggestions or thoughts would be welcome, for a list of some of the things we've looked at, take a peek at my thread here for Very Large Maps with Lakes, located here
Access violations may occur for a number of reasons. A quick Google search showed me that this problem doesn't seem to be tied to specific hardware, and generally appears on heavily modded games (again, this was a quick search).
I've read a number of supposed fixes, everything from removing Banished registry keys to disabling specific mods.
Without this problem happening on my system, it could be difficult to diagnose. There is a chance, of course, the problem is in the code (only triggering with certain conditions) and nothing short of a hack-patch will fix it.
My recommendations would be to rule out mods first. This is a lengthy process and would require removing all mods (don't just disable them, move the mods to an un-associated directory), then reenabling them one at a time only moving to the next one after each has been thoroughly tested.
Obviously, large-map mods have to be active if the problem only happens with out-side-the-box maps. Run the game for awhile with only the large map mod and see what happens.
The unfortunate chances you take with the trial and error method is that the specific set of conditions may not happen. It would appear to be fixed, but wouldnt be.
Can someone point me to the error dump?
Also, make sure Windows is managing your swap file, for now. If you have more than one hard drive, make sure the non-system drive is enabled for swapping.
If someone tries this, let me know the results.
For those having the problem, can you post a summary of your system here?
