You should post in tech support section of the forum. Don't forget to add a dxdiag and a save. 

btw, Doom on Vulkan isn't any indicator. This game is well optimized and runs even on low tier hardware.

What size galaxy are you using, and on what speed, number of factions, etc?  This will make a huge difference if you're using a huge galaxy, with lots of factions.  The lag will be because of all the extra work that needs to be done.

Try cutting down on the galaxy size and number of factions, see if that helps.

hello, i was playing on large galaxy with 8 players, game speed was set on fast, AIs were set on Impossible. but after the initial crash, i reloaded the save point, and the crash went away. currently, i'm playing a new game on large map, 8 players, AIs are set on Endless difficulty, and game speed is normal. so far at turn 90. i will see if the crash starts to happen again after turn 100.
