Firaxis, I have a crashing .sav on v3.0, do you want it? If not that's ok, thought I would offer it in case you want to see what's wrong. It's a crash in terran.exe.
Was a bummer too because it was middle stages on Thinker, invested at least 6 or 7 hours in it. No biggie though, I just started another one on a regular sized huge world.
I had made the world huge (80,160) which I think might be at least part of the problem. I have a racehorse of a machine so I doubt resources are the problem, but ya never know.
Do you want it? The fault happens on the first turn of this sav. Let me know.

I started to get frequent crashes after exiting the design workshop. I eventually read of someone else with a crashing problem with v3.0.. the solution was to update your sound driver.
I went to creative labs for the latest SB16 driver.. installed it and so far haven't crashed since. It was something I believe with the driver not being fully compatible with DX 6 I think.
The other guy had a brute machine as well and mine's (while probably not sounding that impressive these days) isn't exactly dated either.
