Thanks for the report. I'll talk to the coders but looking at the logs I think this crash is the result of a memory leak in the game causing your system to run out of memory, rather than being anything to do with what was happening in the game.

I had been playing with 4 GB to apply stress. I've added another 4 GB for a total of 8 GB which still isn't enough. If I play for several hours, the commit charge climbs continuously while playing (16 GB+).  I have another motherboard I'm going to switch to that can hold 32 GB to see if it ever stops consuming memory.

Thanks, but you don't need to do that. I've basically confirmed on my own machine that there's definitely a memory leak, we just need to get it fixed!
