Consistent, Reproducable crashing bug in 1.16f

[cht2000]

This bug has been well documented in a few threads. If anyone hasn't noticed, I would recommend reading "Whats up with Civilization3.e.exe"

It appears as if people are finding the same bug on varying systems. As a developer myself, I highly suspect that this is a *real bug* especially since it occurs after several hours of game play and is reproducible on a number of computer configurations.

I am running Win 98 SE. AMD Processor clocked at 900, 128 ram, NVIDIA GEForce2 MX/MX 400, w/ 32 ram.

I downloaded the patch, and upgraded my video drivers to the new detonator and it fixed a few problems. I actually thought I might get thru a whole game. But a few turns into the industrial age I receive this message -

I am in a war with the Germans. (a masacre btw) I am using pangea, with 8 civs. I have a leader presently on the board, with an army.

Why is this game so hard to get thru without having so many crashes? Here is another one....why did I buy this stupid game? Once bitten twice shy; I will never buy another game w/o first looking for forums like this to gadge whether it is a game full of bugs, or a game that is worth my hard earned money.

I agree with cht2000. And as a developer(whose on a support team) I too think that after reading the many posts regarding this issue that it is not a system bug but a bug within the software. It be nice if InfroGrames would address the issue.

I have found the game to crash if we try to upgrade the galleys to transport or change production in a city to transport. If we select transport in the queue list it's fine. Have tested this a number of times in different games and always crash.

Hi, new to the forum but I am also getting the bug. I've been trying out the tutorial game just to start to get a hang of it.

It can happen after playing it for a little bit, less than half an hour or as long as an hour or to.
