My civ game frequently crashes(...has performed an illegal operation ) when I am managing a large number of cities, usually when I am almost done reviewing them all. I finally think I found out what is causing it and wondered if I need a patch or something.

I am using Civ II Multi-player Gold Edition straight out of the box, purchased last summer.

What happens is that I often review all my cities by going into the city screen and then hitting the Up-arrow button (next to "Info") to go to the next city. Occasionally (usually after reviewing 90% of my cities) I get the message above and the game is lost...I have to go back to my last saved game.

I have figured out that if I accidentally Right-click on the arrow button instead of a normal left-click, I crash the game. I guess after going through so many cities my hand starts to get tired and I bump the other button on the mouse (at least that's what happened last night). I tried out this theory and any right click on that arrow button crashes the game.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there some patch that fixes it?

HELP!!!

Yet right click on the arrow button does that, do not know of any fix on the than not to right click on it, a little more difficult for the dyslexic like me.
 
I have the latest patch, and I believe it is somewhere on this site. You can ICQ or email me and I will send it.

You might wanna check for a virus, cause this happened to me before like back in june 99' and i do believe i had a virus causing it.
Your PC could just be crashing cause it sucks like mine
