Oke,I think most of us (with the game working) have had the lockup problem every ones in a while, correct? Well at least I did. I found a way around the problem when it happens. Oke I can't fix the lock it self !! I my games (4 in total) the game locks up for the first time around 2335 to 2340 (!). I have the zoom on unit on(!) default games setting. I noticed that the games lock up with one of my own unit in center of the screen and it's alway an automated army/land unit (like a ECM missile Infantry). Oke this is what I did and it works every single time I had the problem. I reset the game (C.A.D.) or computer (this depends on the way windows shut the game down). After the startup I look the auto saved game 1 (this is the same year you where in at time of the crash). I select the unit that was in the middle of the screen and take it off the "auto pilot" and the game does not lockup. It take about 11 years for the next for the next lockup. Jeff, is there a maximum amount of units that can be in auto pilot mode???? The more units I take of auto the less lockups I get. Hope it helps to solve one of the problems in this beautiful game.
