The patch should make a crashlog. Every time there's a crash, it'll 
write a file like crash000.txt. If you post one of those files I can 
have a look and maybe get an idea why it's crashing.

Those crashes seem to be happening while a train is being refitted.  Did 
you try to refit those trains?

I haven't been refitting trains when the game crashed, but it has crashed 
once before when I was refitting.  Might it have something to do with the 
fact that I use TTDAlter, which in a way refits trains and other vehicles so 
that they hold much more cargo?

No, that couldn't be it.  From what I looked at, I can only explain this
crash if a refitting window is open at the time of the crash.

I guess I need to look at the savegame itself.  Can you email me the
file together with your ttdpatch.cfg so I can try it out?

Sorry to be a bother, but it turns out that the crash files I sent were from 
an earlier problem that I corrected by upgrading to TTDPatch 2.0.1 alpha 42. 
They were when I tried to refit a train, but upgrading fixed it.  It turns 
out that my current problem doesn't create a crashlog.  As I said before, 
the game crashes every three months, but instead of displaying an error 
message, it just locks up and I have to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and end the 
process.

Sorry again for getting it wrong!

Oh, I guess we just have different terminology... when you say "crash" 
you mean what I call a "hang".

Anyway, email me your savegame and ttdpatch.cfg and I can have a look.

Here are my three main savegames and my ttdpatch.cfg file.  It might be 
worth noting that the game crashes on every game I play, including new games 
in any climate.  If you look at the savegames you can see how i've got 
better at play TTD in the past few weeks!

You can't attach files here, this is not a binary group so they'd get 
dropped by most servers.  Just email me.
