I'm trying to find out why I keep having a problem with the game crashing all the time.I've not been able to figure it out for certain, but it always seems to happen during/before a battle that involves an air unit (but not all air battles). I am using the v3 patch, english version. I'm running Win95 on a PII 233. I am using a complete install onto my hard drive to run the game. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Chances are you're running out of virtual memory. Defrag the c: drive (or wherever your swap file resides), free up a few hundred megs of space, and let windows manage your swapfile.jkm firaxis games |

Nope, that's not it. It's still crashing, and I have over 400MB of space on the swap drive.I've tried the d3sd and eax changes, and it still crashes. Also this did NOT start with the patch 3.0 version, I was getting crashes even before then. That's why I updated to the patch. Any other suggestions anyone?

I occasionally have the same problem. To me it looks like the game crashes when one of my air units scrambles in order to protect a unit or city from air attack. The Windows error message is "An invalid instruction was performed by terran.exe" or something similar.However, this does not happen every time. Almost always I manage to continue the game by loading the most recent auto save, replaying the last turn and now, mysteriously, the very same air attack is completed without the game crashing. |

May be of no use, byt have you tried MemTurbo ? It sounds like a resource thing to me if it works ok the next time around. |
