Spring crashes when I do certain things ingame

[AC-mister]

What happened was this; Several months ago I've taken a huge break from Spring, and since then I've gotten a newer computer. Recently I wanted to try playing Spring again, and now on this new computer I find that when I do certain things ingame, it either crashes or freezes.

I don't know how many things or actions trigger crashing for me. I haven't played against other players yet(Due to me forgetting how to play competetively.)(Although I've spectated one eight player game for a good long while before simply leaving.). I just know this much of what will crash spring for me:

When I try to damage an idle AI/idle commander, it crashes. This doesn't seem to happen though if I use an AI that functions with the correct mod(KAI I think.). But even without the correct AI(Like AAI.), the thing is though, I would never actually crash before.

When I hold ctrl + shift, and then place buildings, it freezes. Sometimes early on it might not, but later in a game(Against a functioning AI in BA.) it does. I'ld consider this to be rather game breaking alone.

So any help on why this is happening? I would greatly appreciate it.

My computer specs are:

Intel Core2 Quad CPU 2.40GHz
3328MB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512MB(I heard on this forum that this card doesn't run well with Spring. Is that really the case?)
Windows XP Home

And also the infolog of my last game(Which ended with ctrl + shift building placement.), because I was told in lobby chat that I should submit this. I don't know if it helps or not, forgive me:

No stack trace? Is it crashing or are you having to kill it using task manager or something? Also AAI is kind of broken in this version I think don't use it.

Not sure about your ctrl-shift thing.

[AC-mister]

For the Ctrl + Shift command it freezes, so yes I had to exit with the task manager.

So is the crashing problem with the AI just to do with AAI then and not with me?

[Peet]

This, perhaps?

[AC-mister]

Well I've just tried disabling luaui in settings, if that was what I was supposed to do, and it didn't work. The last person in that thread, Aurek, describes the same problem that I'm having. Whats disturbing to me though is that no further solutions were posted in that thread.

[Forboding Angel]

USe rai or KAI and see if that fixes it.

[AC-mister]

It's me again. I know this thread was made a few months ago, but I never actually got a solution to the problem I've been having with the game freezing when I use any Ctrl+Shift+Alt combination for placing buildings(which now I realise it's also when queueing factory build orders as well, and possibly any other action), and in the end I just quit playing Spring.

I was hoping upon hearing of the upcoming version 0.77 and how it has 'a ton of fixes' that my freezing had to do with the current version of Spring. But now after trying it I find that the freezing is still prevalent.

So are there any real suggestions to my freezing problem? I really would like a response. Thanks.

And my hardware is still the same as what was previously stated.
