crash: bright colours

[oatbag]

I can't find an existing thread on a game crash wherein the colours turn bright until primary colours.  The names ghost as you move the cursor but now distorted map is fixed.

Any fixes or tricks for avoiding this?  It happens in new games, sometimes reloading will not hang at the same time of day but about 6/7 restarts at a save right before the crash, it still happens at the same time of day.  it feels like the sun rising is the associated event.

any help or scorn for not reporting this in the right way is appreciated

Could you please report your version operating system and maybe your system specifications.
There are a couple of more complaints about this but there hasnt been a workaround "yet".

Are you on a rather old machine by any chance?

Nope, newish box:

Windows 7 64bit
nvidia geforce gtx 560
3.33ghz i7

(need any other details?)

Thanks for response.

Happening to me as well, on 2 different saves.
So far the game has not totally locked up. I was able to open the menu and hit the save button, then load the game. and the error cleared. If it happens again i will try to gather more info.

Im using a MacBook Pro (Laptop)
Mac OS 10.6.8
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
AMD Radeon HD 6750M

Could you guys pinpoint a moment or action on wich this happens?
Or does it take place after a set amount of time?

day 14 hr1 seems the most common.  Not sure if always that day, but seems like always at h1, when lighting effects change (it would seem)

edit: only crashes in clear weather, just got rain and flew past day14 hr1 just fine.
edit one minute later: it crashed.  now just all that foggy white tone, (not yellow and blue like in clear weather).

Did you guys update to 254b? It came out a few hours after 254.

But I did not notice the b version, will switch now.  Thanks.
