ACK! v1.41 crashes in WINme

Puke · #1 July 13th, 2001, 12:57 AM

i have that same crappy os on my laptop, because i didnt want to hunt down all the win2k drivers.

all the games i upgraded to 1.41 are running fine, but i tried starting one fresh on 1.41 a little while ago and saw a similar problem. it sucks since the Messages from other empires are usually at the top of the list, so you often dont get a choice about reading them. I have not tried to recreate this bug on other games, but i guess i should.

I run Me at home and have zero problems with SE4.

Just an FYI...

Do yourselfs all a favor, don't by anything beyond windows 98. Microsoft is like the Ancient Egyptians. Sure, they were the world once, then it all just went down hill.

It sounds like the same thing that happened to me when I upgraded to 1.41, and I have 98. It was one of two things that fixed the problem: either uninstalling and reinstalling SEIV (with a reboot between), or updating to the latest driver for my video card. I'd try uninstalling first. Hope that helps!

Id like to think that XP would be good (its all pure 32 bit code and all) but its got this weird hardware PIN code thing that I dont want to contemplate
