Sorry this happened to you. It looks like an out-of-memory issue at least partly caused by the fact that if you have the game running (in fullscreen mode, iirc) and tab to something else, the Unity engine (third-party code) writes this message to the log file every single frame:

"
Skipped rendering frame because GfxDevice is in invalid state (device lost)
 
(Filename: C:/BuildAgent/work/6bc5f79e0a4296d6/Runtime/Misc/Player.cpp Line: 1571)
"

And since the log file is kept in memory (why, I don't know) eventually this combines with other factors to exceed the memory that the game can safely write to (which isn't generally related to the amount of memory your machine has) and poof: crash.

If this is what happened, then basically this is a "known issue" we can't fix, though we've done a few things over the years to make it less likely.

So, a few questions:
1) Were you playing fullscreen?
2) Regardless of fullscreen/windowed, did you spend a lot of time with the game not having focus?

Thanks :)

i have been playing fullscreen but i havent had these crashes before so its a little odd that it happened
if u mean out of focus zoomed out on the map then yes but also between thos ei zoom in aswell alot so its a mixture of both
