Hail thee, users of this forum.
I have serious problem with Hearts of Iron 2, as the title says.
When I load up my save game and few days pass, the game crashes. It seems to happen at exactly same time every time it crashes, although I am not 100% sure of this. I am not sure does it happen in other savegames also, because this is my first time with the game. The game is installed from anthology box, Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday + Armageddon, and then applied with patches 1.2 and 1.3 beta patch, in that order of course. I have no idea what is causing this, so I please, if anyone can help me out with this, please do.
EDIT: Updating GPU drivers. I doupt they cause this, but I am willing to try everything to make the game work.
Part of the DxDiag if it helps at all:
