Easy CRASHING FIX
So i come to 10 hour of gameplay and crashing become more frequent (From 1 crash on every 3hr to 30 min) and it became annoying.
So i went to game folder and created a shortcut to .exe file. Then i set the shortcut to run the game in "Win XP compatibility mode" plus "run as administrator"

After that i started the game with shortcut and played it for about 3hr (without crashing, First time i used EXIT button hehe).

I will continue to test this but for now it works fine.

If anybody else has any solution (tested solution) feel free to tel us.
I am running win 7 32bit

How to set up compatibility:

Run as administrator:

I hope this will work for you, as i said couple of times this game might be one of does that runs on some systems and on others simply doesn't (same PC strength different hardware), before purchase i recommend trying their DEMO.

EDIT:
I also noticed that if I run the game in fastest time acceleration for too long it also crashes faster.
I also had some mini bugs where my vehicles will spawn from my garage to some random location and then they will go to their task across the map (owe grassland, thru cities and other obstacles) funny bug hehe (that happens only once I have bigger operation).

This easy fix is working for my system but it might not work for different one!

and sorry for bad spelling (ENG in my second language)

I tried but it slowed my game down to a point that the mouse arrow just jumps across the screen :P
But thanks for the tip though, you already did more that the game's developers to support the gamers :)

I've been playing it since it came out on Steam and have had none of the performance issues/crashes that others claim to have had. The only bug I had was the one time when 2 of my vehicles were stuck, but I simply restarted the game and that did the trick.

I've had a few crashes, but all in all it's been pretty stable for me on the different PC's I've played on. I've noticed a lot of times with a stuck vehicle it's been tied to a task, and I end up finding and killing the task. I notice the crashes happen more frequently when I'm on 3x speed with lots of automation happening. I have been enjoying the game so far. If there were a few tweaks to this game, I would find it an ok replacement for the classic SimFarm I loved/love so much.
