There's a noticeable memory leak this issue which hasn't been fixed yet (such memory leaks have happened before).
When you run only one instance, are you able to play longer before you crash?

As far as I can tell it is completely random. 
I hope that it is a memory leak, it's better if the problem has been named.
I can't remember crashing this much when playing 1 account tho. So you may have something there.
:P
Is this due to be addressed soon ?

If you play windowed mode, type cntl shift esc to bring up the windows task manager, and you can watch the memory allocation creep up.
Mine inevitably crashes after crossing the 1.45GB mark, no matter how many reloadgfxes I do.

Even in Full Screen mode, I had noticed mine was over 1 GB nearing 1.5 GB as the years have gone on. Now mind you, I have added in a better Graphics card, upped resolution, changed features, plus obvious upgrades to the game (QOL, etc...) and how much must run at once. Memory creep is inevitable. I also noticed a thread in here about a recent memory leak that I think has not been plugged yet.|

Anyway, Every issue released, the game seems to bump up the specs a little bit. Depending on your GPU, and Graphics memory, maybe more is being offloaded into regular memory.

I started having this problem last night and it continued tonight. I dual box with my laptop and my desktop. Last night, the laptop crashed while ToTing, but seemed more stable when I took it in a farm mission. Tonight the desktop is the one crashing while ToTing. I also got a lot of 10 second of so mapserves tonight, and was having the problem where a clicked power keeps spinning like it was a toggle. type of thing.
I have 4GB on my desktop too, so that cant be an issue.
Yeah I have 2 accounts on my 1st Pc set to "performance" and the other one set to minimum.... Yet loadsa crashing.
Something's broke, I took the stance on it last night to send a /bug everytime it happened... So over 4 accounts I must have sent about 10 or 12 bug reports before I started feeling guilty and stopped.

I run 4 accounts, on 2 different Pc's... always have so this isn't a new thing.
However recently I have had individual accounts randomly crashing, I get the
"Heros has encounterred an error and need to close, we have given a feedback box please say what you were doing when this happened"
type error, now everytime this happend it takes about 5 -10 to appear after the crash, and when you close it the updater needs to reverify all the files. 2.8 GIG. Now i could get by if this was like once per account per night... but its all the time ! like every 10-15 minutes.
Reasons I don't think it's my Pc.
1) There has never been an issue before...
2) There are 2 PC's unconnected with same issue...
3) I updated all my drivers on one to see if it was a graphics issue, it wasn't
4) It happens even when I run 1 account
5) If it was a PC error it should crash both accounts at same time, it doesn't.
So basically......... HELP !
