Defeated by the crash empire

larger maps unplayable in mid to late game

Just giving feedback on my experience playing the insane map size. First off, I can't play it anymore because every time I try and load that game, it crashes shortly after the load screen gives way to the map. The game seems to have a difficult time processing everything on the map. I was preparing for war, my ships lining up at their borders, preparing for the slaughter to come, but as I built up ships, it became harder and harder for the game to stabilize. I want to play this game so so badly. Please keep up the good work with the stability updates because I'm just a large map kind of guy. I don't even know if I can go back to gal civ 2 after experiencing the wonder of such a large map. But as it stands, my empire is locked in a prison made of game crashes. LET MY PEOPLE GO I SAY! I've got trillions of people counting on me here. 

On a side note, here are my rig's stats so you can get a better idea of what level of computer rigs are having these problems. Maybe SSD makes it way better, I have no clue.

GPU: GTX 560 Ti

CPU: AMD phenom II 1100T processor

Memory: 8GB RAM

Windows 7 OS

Standard DVD RW 1TB hard-drive

Check out this post.  There's a lot of good information there, and the suggestion on virtual memory settings might help you.

I would say that possibly upgrading your memory will help. They have done some impressive pass overs to reduce memory usage but 8 gigs on insane, well I wouldnt probably have even tried to load it myself. That being said, I would try Publius'es suggestion. It may help some but inasne is as the name would suggest ;)
