Black screen

Can you send me the error.log immediately after a crash. I might be able to work out the issue.

One thing, are you running without shadows? That could well make a difference.

Cheers

No shadows. I tried single play and that didn't crash. Graphics were a bit funky (all the ground was black) but it ran fine as long as I played.
This is the error message I get when I try a turn in multi-play:

Unhandled Exeption!
ExpCode: 0xC 0000005
ExpFlags: 0
ExpAddress: 0x4FD9799B
Please report!

Didn't see the line about reporting the first time...

Sounds like your video card (integrated chip?) is on the low side or failing. Open the case and see if it is full of dust bunnies.
If you get the check for updates screen, try different options and screen sizes. Full screen on or off, 16 bit, no shadows, etc.

Did you try my last suggestion?

[hidde]

Yes, I've had no shadows all the time. But after I read your post I also tried no full screen, 16-bit and so forth but it didn't help. I have replaced the card now and it allow me to access menus and play single but something still happens when I try to play a turn in multi.

I'm assuming you have up to date drivers etc?

Have your tried with lower resolutions?

You could also try adding

DEBUGSLIM 1

to your user.txt file. It is not designed to be used to play, and BA especially will not look great with it on, but it might allow you to play?
