Game Crashes (usually when entering Diplomacy)

[unmerged(8419)]

Hi.

Went back to the game on an old save after some time "off". Up-to-date drivers, Vista SP1 and patch 1.1!

Time before game crashes varies, however, have noticed it tends to be when I use the diplomacy button. The window comes up, then the game freezes and eventually CTD.

Attached dxdiag.txt and including settings.txt and system.log below.

Anyone have any ideas?

Will try and start a new game to see if the save is corrupt.

Thanks.

hello, is the game time paused or running when you get the crash?
