i had a problem where one of the faces movie files got corrupted and was causing crashes. try backing up your saved games and reinstalling.

I haven't had this problem as of yet. Have you got the latest version installed (v1.15, admittedly a beta patch, but it's good)? If this and reinstalling as mactenchi suggests doesn't work, try saving right before it crashes and posting here so we can test it out. If it is a repeatable crash from the same savegame, then emailing it to firaxis with an explanation can really help, as they can get into the code and figure out the problem. Best to post it here first though, in case it is a machine-specific problem.

This problem can occur during diplomacy actions if the game looks for a .flc file and can't find it (i.e. due to it being corrupt, moved, mis-typed in the Rules editor when creating a scenario, etc.)

A way to check this would be:
1) Open the scenario file in the editor,
2) Edit Rules
3) Hit Civilizations tab & select the Civ you are playing
4) Look at Animations section (lower left corner) & select the Era you are playing and crashing in (e.g. Industrial Age)
5) Note the names of the .flc files that the scenario will look for
6) Repeat steps 3-6 for each of the Civs you were negotiating with when your game bombed
7) Go check if those files are in the \Conquests\Art\Flics directory.
If they are not, that's the problem.

Hope this helps. - bvc

i reinstalled it and fixed it. Thanks guys. Its weird cause it kept recurring even if i reinstalled it. But for some reason the last reinstall fixed it.

Give a thousand monkeys a thousand computers and an infinate amount of time, and one of them will eventually make one of them work.

I still don't understand what is "gay" about this problem. Did he think the leaderheads were propositioning him?

They ran a test a while back and found that it probably not going to happen. You will get a fecal matter in the room though.

They have a high output of s's apparently, but I don't think the researchers allowed for infinite time.
