CtW still crashes even after patch 2. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled and applied the patch again, same thing. I choose conquer the world, pick a civ, a screen comes up saying loading and then ...crash!! My system exceeds all the requirements printed on the box. All my drivers and system files are up to date. Will this ever be taken care of? Without CtW this game is the same as other games I already owned. (Empire Earth, Age of Empires, etc.)
