Has anyone finished a game? Each time I play I get to a point where the game constantly crashes with the "terran" fatal error and its all over.
This is bug really makes me mad -- Firaxis must have known about it and simply went gold to make a due date.

I'm in the same boat. Well, it doesn't actually crash, but the game stops responding and I have to do the Ctrl-Alt-Del dance. I'm really frustrated with not being able to play the game. Jeff Morris was nice enough to look at it after I emailed him the save game, but he said he couldn't get past it. He did say that the bug is fixed in 3.0. Based on the messages that I see here, this bug doesn't seem to affect everybody.
The only part that I'm frustrated by is that Jeff says that the problems are with Windows but doesn't give any clues as to which parts of Windows might be responsible. I've reinstalled DirectX 6.1, my video driver, my sound card driver, and even SMAC. I haven't yet completely reinstalled Windows 98 if I can avoid it.
