Hello everyone, I've joined the forum just for this...
Everytime I try to load a game in Empire it crashes to desktop and I get a:

AppName: empire.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.0 ModName: empire.exe
ModVer: 1.0.0.0 Offset: 0015e15c


What to do?

Yes I've updated my driver for the gfxcard.
And yes I can load an earlier saved game but it still crashes when the turn ends (after the pirates have moved) and I don't have an earlier save so the only solution seems to be to start the campaign all over. Very frustrating!

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help me
