Well that really sucks. 




Can you load the same game but from a previous save (or the autosave) at all? If so, does the game progress further (before crashing again) than when it crashed previously?




Another thought occurred to me, can you run Large maps without any mods active, without the game crashing? If yes then one of the mods is likely to be the culprit which should mean not much more than getting the latest version of the mod or alternately, getting an older version of the mod that you know ran without causing crashes. I tend to keep older versions of some mods for this particular reason so if you can't find older versions of mods you use I may have a copy.




I see that there is a user called Paeng on the Shining Rock Software website, he suggested some potential fixes for this sort of error although they did involve altering/deleting the registry entries for Banished (which is something I'm always a little antsy about doing). I think we can be reasonably sure it's the same Paeng as here so maybe it's worth asking him for any suggestions on how to fix it.




Do you run in full screen or windowed mode when you're playing? From your screenshots you appear to be running in windowed mode but I don't know if you run it that way or if you just did it for the screenshot. Which ever mode you use, it might be worth trying the other mode.




Are you running the Steam version at all? If yes then you can try verifying the file integrity through the Steam Properties tab, if not he only other thing I can think of is to uninstall and reinstall the game.




The problem you're having seems to have plagued a lot of people and there doesn't seem to be one solution to it but multiple and it appears that they might not actually work for every person. I can't think of anything else to try at the moment except perhaps making a request in the technical help sections here and on World of Banished and so on [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/blink.png[/img]/emoticons/blink@2x.png 2x" title="O.o" width="20" /> [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/5846341c16f5c_EmojisApplebyKawaiiDarkToxic476.png[/img]

I had bought the game through steam but when steam changed some of their policies about the games I quit using steam altogether.




I then bought the game (which I play now (straight from Shining Rock).




And I was I able to start the game again from the last save, but it just ended up crashing again, so I gave up and went to bed.




I always play Windowed anymore.  Because Alt + Tabbing to pause my music, use google, etc.  would crash my game in the past. 




So I have just gotten used to playing this way now.

When I was playing via Steam I used to have this problem a lot.   I have read just about everything out there in the way of fixes.  




I quit having this issue after I bought the game from the owner but then.... the beta happened then the new version came out.  All of which I downloaded and used.




I try to keep my game current so I can enjoy what Black Liquid puts out .
