Hello friends... I had been playing Masters of Orion II for years, finding it a dependable escape, which helped facilitate creativity while escaping. So you can imagine my excitement, when I discovered Alpha Centauri...
I had been playing along happily since, well, Christmas (2014), when suddenly, I started receiving the error message, terran.exe has stopped working... , etc... CORRECTION... This is happening after the Windows of Golden Age, Colony Status Queues and Transcend 46... So, I supposed that would make it at the beginning, or toward the middle of the turn. I have been all over the net trying to remedy this. I have tried every possible combination of Windows 7 32bit tweeks, and installation of patches, including Data Execution Prevention, to no avail. Well... Hopefully not all
The tweeks/fixes/patches did work for a little while. Just long enough for Windows 7 32 bit, to figure it out. In fact, the Windows XP process is in on this too. Quite frankly, it seems as if the OS's are on some kind of seek and destroy mission, to accomplish 'terran.exe has stopped working.' I'm not even going into detail about how I tried to get this working on VirtualBox, with Ubuntu... I'm also leaning toward the OS's fault, since there are numerous people reporting this same problem, with different programs, peppered across google. In fact, I know there are many still looking for a remedy for this... through the years
My question is: Has anyone found a way to inhibit Windows 7 32 bit, from performing this senseless process... to stop the program from working. I am convinced that it does not have to do directly with AC... it appears. I want this solved before purchasing Beyond Earth. Thank you for your time and attention...
