Hi, first post here. I'm fairly new to CivIII but I am battling away. I just completed the last item for my spaceship but the city build screen was not preceeded with the spacerace screen as has been the case for all the other built spaceship parts; and I now can't get the spacerace screen by clicking the S on the edge of the lower right info box on the game screen. My spacerace appears to have sunk, and India is about to complete theirs, which is annoying as it won't let me launch mine, so I can't officially win. Has anyone else suffered this "bug"? I am running 1.29f patch.

NVidia - I have WinXP Corp, Abit Siluro GF2MX 32Mb and am running NVidia drivers 40.41 at 1152x864. CivIII is set to start in Windows resolution and plays with no problems (but some bugs, see above).

By any chance, did you lose your capital? This causes your spaceship to be destroyed.

Incidentally, once you complete the last part of the spaceship, normally you go straight to the spaceship screen and you cannot exit it until you launch. Unlike Civ II where you could exit and launch at your own convenience. :)

Yep , I got the same problem. Completed the last component, but it didn't go to the spacerace screen, but did ask for next item to produce in that city. The S doesn't workfor me either so I can't launch. Oh well, I'm just conquering them instead ;)

My system: P3 550, 512MB, GF2 40.41, SBlive, WinXP Home.

what year are you in on the game, if its passed 2050 you can forget about launching the spaceship, because thats when the game ends

I have exactly the same problem. I just completed hull and the spaceship screen became unaccessible. one turn before - everything is fine. it sucks big time. :((

did you win the game by any other means?
