After like about 10 crashes (I didn't count) and no crash dumps, I think I found a pattern to my random crashing problem. And how it keeps occurring.

So, get this. I was doing long distance map traveling and I've been ordering my units to travel long distance across the map. I was still doing my rounds at my outpost and my screen is centered there. Ordering my laborers to work and doing manual lifting between containers, while waiting for my team to go far a certain distance up north. Still doing my rounds around the outpost while the expedition keeps moving.

Then, here's how I found out my random crashing issue: I found out that the reason behind my crashing is because my long-distance traveling team whenever they're not in my camera view. That's right. Apparently, every time I keep my traveling team centered in my camera, I don't seem to run in a lot of crashing on my watch. However, if you don't have your expedition team centered, no matter how much they're out there (especially if they're just manpower of 2-10), then there will be a risk that the game will crash, and without a crash dump.

I finally figured out what's causing my game to randomly crash on me with no crash dump. If by any chance, PLEASE take up this intel I just gathered up and please fix it as soon as you can. This is a breakthrough bug I just discovered and it's apparent that you deal with this right away.

I do this a lot also, I have a 2-3 man group of bad asses that go out and do stuff, long distance, map click ect... and I work around the farm as they are traveling. Even when they start fighting I ignore them unless their health starts to go down. I have not yet encountered a crash. I am not trying to poke holes in your story, however, I think this might be more of an OS/Hardware compatibility issue with the game. Maybe this will be resolved as the game gets better optimization.
