I have been fairly lucky with EU being almost completely stable on my machine. Previous to this weekend I have had only one crash to the desktop. I have now had two more in the last 24 hours.
In my current game I have a huge number of fleets and armies. When I am making preparations for war and executing my war plans I have large numbers of fleet and army movement dialog boxes appearing on the same day. I have seen thirty or more dialog boxes cascade across the screen. This can happen on several consecutive days.
The last two crashes have occurred during the display of large numbers of dialog boxes. The occurrence of the crash is still quite rare, but annoying none the less. It would appear that the display of large numbers of dialog boxes simultaneously is causing a memory leak or similar problem.
I have turned off the fleet arrival notification message. I hope this will prevent whatever sort of resource exhaustion that is occurring from being a problem.
