Thank you for your quick response, After some more testing I am sure it is not pluginrelated, but considering it only happens in some developed cities that was unlikely anyway, because it should have crashed earlier, I suppose. Anyway, the memory issue , I am not completely sure I understand what you mean, my computerknowledge is not that great, but I've never had any problems with gameperformance, not with SC4 nor with newer games with higher standards. But then again I am no computerwhiz. I do not know what you mean with page file or *.swp file, could not find it anyway. And the total load of my plugins, do you mean the size of the map, if so, its close to 2GB. But I increased my virtual memory, with no succes, the game keeps crashing. But only in two of my active cities and only on the slopes. A few weeks ago I had the same problem and then decided to rebuild the city -after destroying it and importing a new one-, this time too much work has gone into this city (big city tile, just 30.000 population, but filled with farms) to make me want to consider rebuilding. So what I am trying to say, is there a way for me to fix this or will my cities somehow keep getting corrupt after a while? edit: disregard the above, I found a way to fix my problem. It wás pluginrelated after all, it seems I removed some older treemods from my pluginfolder (a long time ago)but the city that crashed still had those trees in it, resulting in a crash when I tried to build on the slopes those trees (invisible untill I reinstalled the second treemod) were planted. Never realised this could cause issues, and ofcourse I should have thought of this earlier. Anyway, thanks for your help, it made me feel a little less depressed about the possible downfall of my big region project.

Can you tell me what this means? Exception time: 10/01/2011, at 16:30:19. Exception code: 0xC0000005 (-1073741819) ACCESS_VIOLATION. Current thread ID: 3848 (0x00000f08).

It occurs (so far) only in already established cities (3 out of dozens). I figured it had something to do with my plugins (terrain or slope-related), but removing, replacing and altering them hasn't resulted in the game not crashing when I lay a road on a slope in the 'corrupted' city. The game does not crash in the specific city when the road (or anything else for that matter) is on the same level, the slightest heightdifference however is enough to make it crash, like the game just doesn't 'understand' how to build on a slope anymore.. but that is just my interpretation. I have been playing this region for a long time now and really hope someone can help me continue. thanks in advance
