Author Topic:   Locking up when entering captured base

I'm in year 2480, haven't had any problems. Now all of the sudden, the game locks when I enter a captured Hive base, Fecunity City I think. Any ideas why this is? Anyone have similar probs?

As a matter of fact I have had problems with late-game conquests. It always happens when the city's former owner wants to speak with me. If I hadn't yet entered the production queue, there's no problem. If however I've already started making changes to the queue (the lag time for the AI dialog box showing up is longer in late-game) I can't dismiss it and can't exit the city interface.

If it's a huge map, it could very well be a virtual memory problem. Make sure you've got loads of free hard drive space and that windows is managing your swapfile size. I assume you can repeat this with a save game? If so, send it off to [email protected], detailing what the problem is and what I'll need to do to get it to occur.
