Well, i found a reproducable crash in the game. It might be my system, but i've tried all kind of stuff that was mentioned in the readme.
When i build secret projects, the game freezes up AFTER the videos are played. The whole sceen turns black and i cannot even ctrl-alt-del my way out. I have to hit the reset button. These crashes happen some 75% of the time. If i build some 3 secret projects and they're completed in the same turn, it's almost 100% certain that the game will freeze.
This is really annoying, and together with the frequent crashes during startup and the occasional -"This program has performed an illegal operation" crashes to desktop- it makes the whole game less exciting.
I have a ppro200 with 96MB ram, over 500 MB HD spacre free, a monster fusion banshee card with the latest drivers.

Okay. So directdraw=0 has no effect? What about renaming sound.dll? Email me explicitly what you've done and we'll get you going. So far, every movie issue has been a driver issue, but let's see what's what. [email protected]
