Hi guys,

Bought this game last year but never got around to playing it. Just started it yesterday and today I started the campaign.

It gets to turn 127 and crashes to desktop without saying anything. No error message at first. Then windows started telling me that it 'windows encountered a problem'.

I have tried reloading the save and it happens all the time. This is extremely frustrating. Anything I can do?
 
Could you zip and upload the logs folder please? That could at least say what error it's actually hitting.

Should be located here, or somewhere similar depending on Steam's install location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\205990\local\logs
 
If it helps this is what it says in the game_error text:
167.9660: Source\StrategicContentGenerator.cpp(694): [LogicGenerator][_placeTownsAndLocations()] cannot fill area for stage 4
168.0750: Cannot generate terrain for 'Evil_w2'/lakes/1 with 1 try. sea=[0 0.083 0.2] mount=[0.02 0.167 0.09]

1979.8550: Application\Application.cpp(198): [Main][WriteDumpFile()] done.


And the following in the logic_error text:
167.9660: Source\StrategicContentGenerator.cpp(694): [LogicGenerator][_placeTownsAndLocations()] cannot fill area for stage 4
168.0750: Cannot generate terrain for 'Evil_w2'/lakes/1 with 1 try. sea=[0 0.083 0.2] mount=[0.02 0.167 0.09]

Does this help?
