I'm not sure if tech support covers observer mode past the default end date? I've noticed the game crashes eventually and haven't found a way around it. Attached a July 1, 839 save that always crashes at some point between October and November. Any way to fix this or is it just inevitable? If anyone with a high-end computer could test the file (Imperator: Rome save files are almost at the 300MB limit for the forums) that would be helpful, since I'm not sure if it's just my low-end laptop causing problems (dxdiag attached).
