    Since very last build i get for the very first time the game crashes with the following error message :

    "OpenGL message “hardware does not meet minimum specification"

    And then i'm redirected to this page :

    http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3008

    I got this error in two games while i was expanding my base.

    My graphic card is a Gforce 560TI (PCI-express card).

    I'm running with very last drivers (320.49) from July 2013.

    This error is occuring at the very beginning of the game while my FPS is pretty much solid.


    Any idea ?

    Thanks

    What's graphics settings you using? Is it happen each time you start game? You can reproduce it?

    I don't update my graphics that often, but if those really ARE the latest drivers,
    it's possible that there are bugs newly-introduced. Try rolling back to your previous drivers, and if that works, then that mostly likely is the issue.

    I had this happen once, but once only and normally the game is fine.
    It was jsut a really heavy match and crashed as expected.
    My specs are fine as well.

    I have experienced this crash a few times (like 3 or 4), up to date drivers and everything.

    I've received this error last night after building a large planet (~75).
    I noticed that PA had also eaten up all my memory (12 gigs).

    It's not for this topic really, but for Nvidia driver too, so I want to post it here too.

    There was other problem reported (link): "The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the windows Time-Out limit and is unable to continue".
    If you have this error you probably can fix it using this fixer from Microsoft:

    This has happened to me twice, it seems pretty rare though.

    This has now happened to me too. I was running a large planet, but in the very early stages of the game (against just one AI). Frame rate was solid.

    I'm running a 670gtx with the latest drivers, and the temps were cool. Seems a bit random!

    This happened to me earlier this evening. Voted for the bug on the tracker (thanks SXX) and attached my dxdiag info.

    This has started happening a lot in the office. We are investigating the problem.

    Post it's here too. That's seems like latest builds don't have this issue (no reports for long time).

    I want to ask Nvidia users who previously met problem confirm it on bugtracker:
    Nvidia error code 6: FS#1865
    NVIDIA OpenGL Time Out Driver Crash: FS#1813
