I have been getting a frequant crash while
playing Alpha Centauri. I have tried using
version 1.0, and upgraded to 3.0. The crash
occurs in both versions, but more frequantly
in 3.0.
I'm running an AMD K6-233, with 64 megs of ram, a matrox millenium II-4 megs of ram, a
diamond monster 3d II-8 megs of ram, and an AWE 64. All have current drivers, and I'm running with direct x 6.0 (tried 6.1 as well).
This is the error I receive.
TERRAN caused an invalid page fault in
module TERRAN.EXE at 0217:00618e3c.

Make sure you're not running out of virtual memory. Free up 200+ megs on the c: drive (or wherever you allocate your swapfile) and let windows manage it. If you're processor is overclocked, restore the original settings. If you were playing a save from v1.0 in a v3.0 game, the save itself may be the problem.

I have 600 megs or so free on my hardrive, and I have it set to windows managing my swap file. It is a 3.0 only game. Oh, and I have seen suggestions in other messages to turn off hardware acceleration on my graphics cards... I have the matrox set to no acceleration, and the diamond 3d set to the minimum mhz (90). Still no luck.

So it's pretty random? Again, ensure the processor isn't overclocked, and try a few of the readme.txt tweaks (like forceoldvoxelunit=1).

No, my processor isn't overclocked. I'll try some of the tweaks in the readme.txt. Is there anything else at all I can do? Will new patches help?
