Skype has been crashing whenever I I play AC?
« on: November 16, 2020, 09:35:14 PM »
Windows 7, GOG copy of the planetary expansion set.

Everytime I play Alpha Centauri it's been crashing my skype. This hasn't ever happened to me on windows 7 before but I recently switched to an SSD, and that's when the issue started.

I have the program set to run in compatibility mode, it does it regardless of which mode it runs in and I was wondering if this is a known problem or why it might be happening?

Windows 7 is way too old for anyone to be likely to give you an answer.  Suggest you join the modern world of Windows 10.  I have 2 laptops that are 12 years old running it just fine.  I did have to do some elbow grease with some video drivers and touchpad drivers to make it happen.  Generally speaking, if you have a Windows 8 driver for that stuff, you'll be fine.

* Random quote

I have often been asked: if we have traveled between the stars, why can we not launch the simplest of orbital probes? These fools fail to understand the difficulty of finding the appropriate materials on this Planet, of developing adequate power supplies, and creating the infrastructure necessary to support such an effort. In short, we have struggled under the limitations of a colonial society on a virgin planet. Until now.
