Summary0005192: crash when moving to boss area next to overlord region
DescriptionI was moving toward the entrance to the overlord's castle when I overstepped and moved into the next area instead. This area was colored orange on my map, presumably because monsters were guarding a resource there. Or just hanging out. The game went black, and waiting a bit and alt-tabbing out, I found a messagebox saying the game had crashed, and I should send the crash-file on to you guys.

Here it is.

Hmmm, the error log is fairly non-specific, although it does look like you were running very very low on RAM at the time and have no paging file set up.

With only 2GB of ram, I'd strongly suggest (just as a general thing, not specific to our games even) using a 1GB or even 1.5GB fixed-size page file. That way you're not having the performance hit of it constantly resizing that page file, but at the same time if windows needs to swap some stuff to disk when you're running near the edge of your available RAM, it can do so.

The alternative is that when things get really low in terms of RAM, windows simply has nowhere to get any more and that tends to cause programs to crash. You had enough RAM available that I really don't think that's what happened here, but it's a possibility since you were pretty close.

Leaving it open for feedback right now, we can up the priority later if need be.
