I can confirm this is likely due to CPU issues. I've got a Q6600 (2.4 factory clock) and overclocked it to 2.8... running fine now.

Other's don't have a problem with win7. I've tried compatibility modes too. I often get random 5 second freezes... cars move, text box updates, but I can't press buttons. Then, more often than not, that leads to a crash.

Q6600 @ 2.8Ghz (2.4Ghz is stock - but same problems at stock speed) 4Gb 800mhz RAM 8800 Ultra P35-DS4 mobo I can't play it at the moment. I tried 5 times after my original post, and it crashed 6 times, each within 2 mins.

I've had enough. I'm running Win7 RC (build 7100), and have more than suitable hardware. Cities XL crashes about 4 times per hour of gameplay. Sometimes it will go an hour, or maybe more... sometimes it crashes on the planet screen. The problem is with core.dll. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Support takes far too long. I purchased this game to play, not to sit and wait around for.
