For some reason my Emergency 4 keeps crashing after I try to play it, I've never had this problem before. 
 
Mods:
Mayberry Mod v1.4.1
West Coast Canada Modification
 
This doesn't happen when I first start the game, It just happens after a few minutes, even if I haven't started a world.

Can you upload your logfile?

Here is my logfile and DXdiag.

Everything appears to have loaded fine but that makes sense seeing that you can play for a few minutes before crashing. I can't see any errors anywhere that can help but if someone else takes a look they may find something I missed.

aww

Can I just check, have you tried running as Administrator?

 

If that doesn't work, try re-installing.

[ck4life_tweets]

when I right click I don't see a option to run as admin

[Pottyscotty]

What windows version are you running?

I think for windows 7 you have to do it on the actual application, not the shortcut.

I re -installed and now it works fine! But how do I get the actual application? 

[Pottyscotty]

Great that it is now working. I find re-installing works most of the time with a lot of problems. The actual application is *YourEM4Folder*/Em4.exe

[ck4life_tweets]

Now it crashes every several minutes again after the game crashed yesterday after a huge fire. Even re-installing didn't fix it

Have you tried running as admin?

Looking @ your logfile my best guess is that you're running out of resources thus the game is terminating unexpectedly..  The question since I see you've got two mods installed, likely you're using the Canadian one during that logfile is this:  Does the game behave the same way with lighter/easier load mods like the original LA mod, does it behave the same way with the original default game?  If you are experiencing crashes after X minutes with everything, even the default game then you probably need to reduce the game settings further.  If it is with specific mods, they are likely unoptimized and are causing memory consumption to be irregularly high, or have something causing a memory leak.

 

Try the original Default game or a lighter/known to be stable mod and see how long it permits play for you.

But I have quite a bit of memory. But i'll try lowering it. 

[ck4life_tweets]

Have you tried running as admin?

Okay I will try that

[ck4life_tweets]

It still crashes after lowering my graphics


It also still crashes after running as admin
