It happened during the AI movement phase. Toward the end of a large map game.
It is repeatable, and I have the save just before the 'end of turn'.


(*EYES BEGINNING TO ROLL IN MY HEAD*)
Do you have any idea how many dozen hours I spent on this game? My marriage is on the rocks. My children call me "uncle dad". I gave up eating last weekend so I could kill Miriam....

(*Panting...*)

See this ...>>>> | || || || | <<<<<
Thats a handful of hair that I pulled out!

...well... it *is* kinda frustrating....

...who? Oohhh. Dr.? time for my medication already?? ok.. I'll take it.. nice pills...

ok.. I read some of the other terran crashes.. so .. *more* info..

I made no mods to any of the .txt files. Have had no problems before. Have finished some of 'em.

It is the largest map you can make. Running w/ over 1.5gb of disk and windows [95b] is running the virtual memory.

Nothing else was running at the time, since SMAC has taken over my life lately...

*wimper*

[this is getting to be like my personal therapy thread.]

Ok.. So I found out what the problem is. I hope that this will help others with similar crashes.

If you run SMAC with the game-save that crashes *IMMEDIATELY AFTER* you run MS Excell when you worked on a really big tax spreadsheet.... then terran.exe doesn't crash.

I understand everything now.. yes...

{OH NURSE!!! more of those nicey-nice pills please}
