Default Crash!

Hello, everyone
I recently picked up Dominions. I was very excited because it seemed like a deep strategy game, just the kind I like. So, installed, updated, and began the tutorial. Everything went well, until I ended my turn. The game goes to a screen where it is supposedly generating the next turn, but the game never moves. I waited, then closed out of the program. I've since tried this several more times to the same effect. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Nipper

Hmmm. It's not a common problem. Can you give more details about your situation? Computer type and OS?

Also, you should call Shrapnel support. They're good.

Once in a long while it gets lost during turn generation but I've always been able to simply close it, run it again and continue the turn, then submit and it generates properly. I've only seen this happen when there are large battles involved and there never are such battles at the beginning of the game.

I'll second the suggestion to contact tech support. Amazing as it might seem these days they actually *DO* answer and do so intelligently.

Like Max said, we need more info. Computer type (especially processor speed and amount of RAM), OS, patch version, other similar technical things. That might give us some clue, but if not, support will help you.
