Hi - sorry about the trouble! Is this vanilla or with mods? Is there an error message to go with the crash? It would help to know what exactly happens. Also, if there's an hs_err_pidXXXX.log file somewhere in the game's folder (with the X's being numbers), it would help to see it.

Regardless, if you open up data/config/settings.json, and change:
"processMessagesWhileSavingOrLoading":true,

To:
"processMessagesWhileSavingOrLoading":false,

That *may* get around the issue. Updating the graphics drivers might, too.

(And, the usual suggestions that can resolve a lot of issues: running the game in Administrator mode, and/or in compatibility mode for Windows 95 / XP / 7. Also, rebooting - if you haven't recently. And turning off as much other software you have running as you can, especially anything to do with video capture or GPU tweaks etc.)

Ah - you need to allocate more memory to the game and that should take care of it. Take a look at this thread for detailed instructions:
