I have one major recurring problem with the game, the game just freezes on me (with irregular intervals) and forces me to reboot.
(pointer can no longer be moved and not a single button stroke has any effect)
Sometimes I can play for hours without any problem, then I get about 6 freezes in 15 minutes ...
For reference, I copied the last debug.err
The game hardly went a few turns when the problem kicked in again.
Can someone please shed some light on what the problem could be ?
Thanks in advance.
