[The Gun Slinger]

I have purchased Rise of Nations and installed the patch to version 1.03. The game plays ok for a while then crashes. It takes a memory dump. I have uninstalled and reinstalled game.
It crashes with and without the patch. I have even tried reinstalling my operating system and playing on a fresh build.
I truly like the game but it is too unstable to play.

Has anybody else experienced these problems?
