HELP!!!!!!!!!! This is getting really annoying. Since update 2 it's been hell. But now with version 4 i can't play for 1 minute without a stack dump. I've got an
Amd k6 -233 Not overclocked.
96 mb SDram
viper 550 8mb AGP
SB AWE32 ISA (first version)
VIA apollo MVP3 chipset.
My swapfile is fixed 1.2 GB big.
Alphacentauri.ini (first part)
ds3d=0
eax=0
FastUnitAnim=0
SmoothUnitAnim=0
Setting grapicsacceleration to 0 didn't help a bit.
Please help me Firaxis. The problem seems to be the Nvidia Rive chipset (but when I still had a viper 330 4mb PCI setting acceleration to 0 did work with version 3).

It might be a heat problem. Try removing the systems case, and even put a fan blowing into it. If the crash doesn't occur, you may need a new system fan. I think that v550 is a TNT card, which can have problems with the movie player. It usually will die on the intro movie however, so if you're making it beyond that, I think the heat problem is the likely perpitrator.

Yes indeed it's a TNT chipset. The movies aren't the problem. It crashes when i start a new game. Didn't have these problems with version 3 installed (same videocard). Maybe there's a new problem with windows 98 SE. I've just recently upgraded to this edition.
I already have an extra fan. But since the AMD k6-233 is quite a furness I'll try it with the case off (but I don't think it's a heat problem).
Thanx for the reply.
