Game crashes: questions and answers.

Currently, I'm playing on Windows 8.1, only using generated maps (I've only installed version 3.1; I don't have the basic version). Based on my own unpleasant experience, I can assume that crashes occur due to mods and map sizes. For example, I have a mod that unlocks campaign heroes for use in single-player maps. And now, here's the frustrating part: after making incredible efforts to capture all the cities on the map, I have to wait a week, and then the game crashes after the last AI unit moves on the map. P.S. If you set compatibility to Windows XP SP3, where everything works more or less correctly, keep in mind that all games started without compatibility will give an error when you try to load them for the first time, so you'll have to generate new games in this mode.
