Hello everyone,

I just bought The Settlers 4 Gold and started a single player game on the map meteor.
To begin with, the game starts normally with the intro, the menu works well and I can start playing on the map.
After some time, maybe 3 or 4 hours, the game crashes with the error message "s4_main.exe - Fatal error Fatal error: Exception 0xc0000005 at 0x00049d3ca!"

I tried a lot of things that are written here in the forum or I found with Google, but I found no solution. Maybe Windows 11 is the problem or I missed some workaround, I don't know.

Now I'm just frustrated because in the past I only played The Settlers 1 & 2 and now I'm starting to like The Settlers 4 very much.

So can anybody please help me?
Maybe something like a Checklist what you all have done to get it working.

In the attachment you can find a savegame. On my PC the game crashs in a few minutes, after the yellow troops in the east took two small tower and attacked a third one.

My System:
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview
10.0.22523 Build 22523
Z270 GAMING M3 (MS-7A62)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz, 4200 MHz, 4 Kern(e), 8 logische(r) Prozessor(en)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB



Edit:
Sorry, i cant upload the Savegame here, because it is bigger than 2MB :(
