So, this is the 3rd time it has happened, although this time it was in a different place.
I got to point on the map (this time Ojaveda Road near the Banished Camp I think) and my computer gave me a grey screen and a message saying please restart computer. This was on a MacBook Pro and hasn't happened up until now! Gah!
Last 2 times it was near Gugontrid.
Can anybody help me? Shall I reinstall?

Reinstalling a correctly working game won't help.
The reason of this issue will be either in the hardware (e.g. overheating chipset which never got so utilized without playing a graphically intense game, maybe even in relation to a hot 7200 RPM harddisk, quite possible for a laptop) or a part of the Operating System failing (e.g. OpenGL drivers programmed with bugs).
Unfortunately, hardly any developer has Macintosh based hardware. They will prefer a gaming PC for half the price and twice the performance... :whistling:
Searching the web, you can easily find a few threads in different forums complaining about a "mac book restart {gray|grey} screen [of death]". The usual result seems to be: "Send your complaint to Apple."

Are all chars crashing? That means, does it depend on the char's position or not? (If another char works --> get a gm to move your crashing char)
Also, just in case it's an overheating problem; turn the computer off for some minutes to let it cool down.

It's usually just this one char. But I don't want to keep asking GMs to move my crashing char... it's a bit annoying for them!
