Does this happen if you rest? (Does it happen sooner than one minute?)

Perhaps make a special build of your map with just that one area ~and nothing else. Load and walk around that for a while.
(Also the reverse... Make a build with everything else ~just not that area, and explore that one, see if it crashes.)

In the ORRR2, I had one single floor-tile (manually placed; among many others), and that one tile crashed the game when present, and the game didn't crash when it was removed. Imagine the fun that was to find; and this only happened during the full game, not in the editor.

nope no error message, seems like windows error message crashing because of memory. Also when I start editor on my laptop (weaker than my comp), I got directly message: your computer is low on memory, please close some programs etc... or something similar. Well...I will see if this will improv when city tileset is gone.
