I must have the perfect machine!!!
ACER 6920 g 2.0ghz duo 2 core thingy whatever with nvidia 512mb 9500m card 4 gig ram win7 64bit.

Also, I have to say that since upgrading to win7 64bit as soon as it came out my system has not "blue screened" or CTD once!!!!!! Really, it's true. Win 7 is 1000% more stable than vista IMO!

I love win 7 now. Not so many crashes, games play faster. I think I had a "blue screen" crash once or twice though. Not shure what 'blue screen' crash is, but I never had this before, so I am guessing it was that. I just hope, that it plays good. Right now, I am having no real issues but I am still in a small empire. I will hate to see what happens after say 10 or 20 game years with 1000's of ships on the screen and all those many colonies. Espically in a 1000+ star game. I would hope my sytem can handle it.

Freeboy beat me to it. Does this mean I have been nijad?

Hey drillerman, just to ask a stupid question, have you updated to the latest patch? I found that I never crashed before the 1.02 version.

I had not CTD's what so ever at launch when i had to put my OS to English (USA) to even start the game, but now when the patch came out and fixed that and i put it back to Swedish, i get CTD's after loading some savegames, but not otherwise :/

out of date computers isn't the cause for crashes.

Just need to remember too save often (which is easier said than done tbh)

Status: offline 		i actually haven't played the game even once since that happened (2 days ago)... i just don't have another 4.5 hours to throw away redoing all that work :(...

Also I just cannot play until there is a "upgrade all designs" button for ship design... sorry but its giving me carpal tunnel :P.

i am waiting for a few more patches before picking it up again.

Status: offline 		No crashes here yet. I guess the pirated version didn't have as many bugs as the retail (Just Kidding :P , I paid for it) It does take forever to save a game though, which it shouldn't because I have a top of the line gaming rig. Why does it take so long to save the game?

Status: offline 		I've been playing DW since the day it was released, and I have had no crashes at all. Now admittedly I do have a high-spec Laptop, but even in my latest game with a 1400-star galaxy there has been no crashes.

I must also add that I've also had no Economy crashes also, and I believe the reason is that I run everything. That means no automation what-so-ever. I learnt this from War in the Pacific, never ever lit the AI run anything, never!
