Game freeze
 

running Se4 on an old laptop of mine, i have no problems(other than being slow) until I try to read a diplomatic message, then the game freezes, taking the computer with it and forcing me to unplug the power and plug back in, since cntr alt del will not work. This is in the newest patch, it did not happen before i upgraded(laptop went from 1.02 to 1.41). Anyone else have this problem or know a solution

Check to make sure you are not out of swap drive space.

SE4 v1.41 crashes that way on WinME, but not Win98 at my house.

Are you running WinME by any chance?

If you are, just use 1.35 instead, and deal with the fighter bug, instead of the intel bug AND nature shrine bug.

Nature Shrine bug?

Apparently they only work on one planet, rather than a system-wide effect.

ver 1.41, I have started a high-tech game, the religious race has built a nature shrine, I have written down all of the planet values and conditions, 30 years later the planet with the shrine was optimal with about 170 % minerals/organics/radioactives. All of the other planets had their origin values.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Im on Win98. I've cleared some more hard drive space and closed other programs, and I'm going to try again.
