After 7 years of crash free playing, over the last week ive experienced two bugs which have literally ruined my experience playing The first was prop pox which is well documented on this and other forums. This ruined the centre piece of a region that i had been working on since 2009. Therefore i started another region, i reorgnised and slimmed down my plugins so that i wouldnt get prop pox. However i then started getting the CTD that the OP desribed. Once every 10-20 mins, i would get a CTD when attempting to lay a road or avenue on virigin terrain. After a little testing i realised that if i dragged a road on a particular tile it would CTD. If i bulldozed the tile even if there was nothing there, i would no longer have a CTD. This was after exiting and reloading the city and dragging a road in the exact same posistion. However this did not really help as the CTD occured every 5-10 minutes. After a little more testing i figured that if dragged over trees, the CTD would occur, where as if i bulldozed the trees and then placed the roads, the CTD would not occur. To ensure that it wasnt a conflict with another plugin, i isolated all my plugins apart from the NAM and Cycledogg's tree controller (which was the tree mod i was using). Lo and behold when i dragged a road or avenue over the tile, the CTD occured. This made no sense as i have used these mods for years. I then realised that i had oblitered this city before the CTD occured. As Further testing has revelaed that i dont get this CTD in any other city, i theorised that it could be something to to with obliterating a city and then rebuilding. or dragging roads where terrain had previously being built on. I therefore started a new city (with no CTD due to dragging roads), obliteated and then started to build again. I got CTD's again when dragging roads. To conclude, it appears that in my case the dragging road CTD occurs when you obliterate a city and rebuild it. Hudders

In Sheffield, UK its boiling today (for us) , about 29 degrees (84 farenheit), about 60% humidity and we have no air conditioning like most other parts of the world which compounds the heat. Its been like this for about a week but normally its around 22degrees in summer, 15degrees in autumn, 5 degrees in winter and 13degrees in spring. It rains most weeks but not half as much as people think and it hardly ever snows in winter (apart from in the Peak District National Park, yep about a third of Sheffield city is in a national park)

lad, this is an excellent CJ! Well done! However ive just been perusing your cenus data and noticed central Norwich has a pop of 800,000+! Anyways, just wandering what specs your computer is?, i think my computer would melt if it ran a game with 800,000+ pop Again, excellent city!
