Crash to desktop, and save game bug, in Temple stage.

Postby gyles » Fri Jun 16, 2006 2:48 pm

Hi,

I'm replaying the game on a mid-difficulty setting, and it looks like the action is getting too much when I attack the spam/virus mail and red army on the island.

This also shows a bug when I go back in, as I have destroyed the spam/virus mail on the least populated island - but it re-appears when I re-enter the level.

What I have tried so far:
- update ATI drivers to latest version (6.5)
- all values of RenderLandscapeMode
- turn graphics to medium, then to low, particle effects off
- turn sound down to medium, hardware & realtime effects off

I'm running directx 9c, on Windows 2000, AMD Athlon XP2600, 1G RAM.

Any ideas? Thanks.

At about the time it crashes to the desktop, are any red darwinians taking over battle cannons of yours? If so this is a known bug in 1.42, and there's not much that can be done until it is patched, bar not letting reds take your cannons.

Yes, that's probably it - tried again without the cannons, and got through it. Thanks.
