Steam version.
Mission "HOLD THE PASS" (Desert Rats).
I've finished deploying units, pressed "End turn" and... got this.
How can I solve this problem?

Not seen any issue like this before. Does it happen every time you play the mission? Can you please post the contents of the error.log file immediately after a crash occurs.
Cheers
Pip

Yep - perfect. It looks like an issue with your graphics subsystem. Do you have DX9c installed? Are your video card drivers fully up to date?
Cheers

Windows 8.1 - DX11. Do I need DX9с?!
Windows informs there is no need in updating videodrivers...

W8 doesn't include every component of DX9c. So installing it may well help.

Unfortunately it tells that dx9 requires windows xp or another old system...

Please post your DxDiag info (as explained here:
viewtopic.php?f=103&t=18097 ). Basically your video card is failing to initialise from the look of it.
Cheers

Was the installer you tried this one:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... aspx?id=35
?
You could also try grabbing the latest AMD drivers from their site directly, as yours are a year old.
Cheers

I've installed the latest AMD Catalyst.
As for my videocard I can't find any drivers at all. You can see it on official site:
http://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/HD79 ... _Download/
I've downloaded DX9 from the same source as Yours.
Do You think that this

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Unfortunately it didn't work.
Very strange. Why does this error appear just now, after over 6 hours of playing and several missions?!

When does it occur during play? Or is it during startup?
Try deleting the OPTIONS.TXT file in My Documents/My Games/BBCBA to see if that helps. Or indeed try renaming the entire BBCBA folder.
Cheers

It happens when I end deploying and click "end turn".

It didn't help. In both cases a new BBCA folder appears.

Yes - it will recreate the folder. If it didn't help then you can put the original back.
My best guess would be a problem with the RAM either in main memory or on the video card, which that mission is just happening to hit in the right (wrong!) way to cause a crash. Perhaps try running in a window to see if the change in settings can get you past the crash.

Also - are you running with DEBUGMODE 1 on, or have you modded the game data at all?
Cheers

What is DEBUGMODE?
As for the window mode, it doesn't work. I remove "Fullscreen" in launcher, but game starts in fullscreen...

By default the windowed mode is the full size of the screen and so would look the same.
Can you try removing the game entirely and reinstalling?
Cheers
