Ahoy there!
About 50% to 75% of my crashes are due to a memory leak. Explained simply, a memory leak is when the game loads much more information that it needs to have (for example, having both Tortuga and Port Royal loaded when you are currently on Tortuga). If you were to check the TLOPO log after having a memory crash, it would say "ran out of memory".
This workaround tells your computer that you want it to give TLOPO the highest priority for RAM usage. It won't completely stop the crashes, but it will make them less frequent.
A friend told me about this solution and I figured we could all use it:
For Windows 7, 8, and 10, open Task Manager and go to the "Details" tab. Find "tlopo.exe" in the list, and right click. Roll over "Set Priority" and change it to Realtime or High.
For Mac, go to your Activity Monitor. Find "tlopo.exe" in the list, and set priority to Real Time or High.
You will have to set the priority every time you log in. The program is temporary, so the setting is as well.
Hope this helps reduce some of those pesky crashes
