Purchased the Collector's Edition, but have had alot issues playing the game.  Even with the latest patch (and I go back to the game hoping that the issues I have have been fixed) I can get about 10 turns in, and the game crashes.  Started three different games, all with the same result.  I've actually not been able to get past the first few turns in quite some time, and just give up, hoping that the next patch will resolve whatever crash is happening.

Would really like to like this game, as I'm a big fan of the games that came before (MoM, LoM, etc.), but I am unable to get into it as I've not even had a realistic  chance to play.

Let me know what details you need about my system, or game settings, and I'll gladly provide.  I can tell you that i'm running XP, with 1 G Video Memory (2 Nvidia cards).

Would love some help,
