Default Re: Crash on turn generation

It might be that you're having problems with mods that you activated. In any case, run the game in debug mode (check the FAQ) and look for hints why the game crashes, in case you don't normally see an error message.

Do you get an error message with your crash? That might help pinpoint the problem.
No, the game just freezes(i guess i should have said that instead of crash), there isn´t an error message. I have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to finish the process. And the status of dom in the task manager is "not responding", 99% of cpu usage :S, the memory usage is normal.

Either way, I'd first suggest disabling any mods you have running, then trying again - perhaps one of those conflict with the new version, somehow?
I haven´t got mods running.

If that isn't what's wrong, you can try re-entering your CD key, making sure you input it properly. (If you don't want to reinstall, you can delete or rename the file named 'key' in your dominions 3 folder to have the game prompt you to re-enter it on startup.)
Already tried before posting.

Ok, i´ll do it this night after work. How do i activate debug mode? Is there a command that enables the generation of a log?
Every time the game freezes, it creates a blank stderr file, and it always freezes when showing "horrors" or "battle turn X".
