Picked up this golden oldie today, got the patch for the 1920 x 1080 resolution (also my native monitor size) and it crashes without fail in under 15 mins of getting the game working.

(The Patch is the Cleopatra one, not the Pharaoh one).

I did think it was the auto save function, which I turned off and it lasted the longest it ever had, but alas, it's still crashing.

It seems to be random and I don't know whats causing it; sometimes overlays cause it, other times...nothing.

Anyone else experienced this?

Note: I used to own this game on disc ( Just Pharaoh), and had the 1920 patch working for that...so I don't know what the issue is :(

SPECS:
Win 7 pro
16GB Ram
GTX 560 ti 2GB
Intel xeon @ 3.3GHz

The game will crash after some time has passed. The solution that seems to work is simply restarting the PC to clear out the cache, which seems to make it work fine again.
