Riding with William
First, my specs: mac version, 1.17f. Running an iMac G3 600 under OSX. Since I believe this could be a core bug (and not a mac-specific bug) I am posting it here.
Since upgrading to 1.17f (from 1.16f), I have been having frequent crashes soon after loading a game. Every time, the game loads fine. I can move units around, do diplomacy and so on. When I press "space" for the next turn, the AI's turns seems to work well enough: I see whatever battles happens, if an AI wants to speak with me that's not a problem, ect. However, 90% of times the game will crash at some point in the "city action" sequence: ie, I will start getting messages from cities asking for new production orders, and they will work fine, but at some point during that sequence, the gamle will crash. No warning, nothing, just a clean crash and OSX telling me Civ3 "unexpectidly quited".
If the first turn pass, the game will run fine until I quit it and have to reload again.
I did make some changes to my .bic files (adding "reduce corruption" flags to some buildings, changing civ colors and changing the french SU), but they seem to have worked well enough (I've used my new SU extensively without problem), so I do not believe it's linked to my crashes.
Well, any help welcomed; this is starting to get very annoying, especialy in late games where it can take 2 min for the game to crash... the only "fix" I've found is never to quit the game, but I do need my CD drive for other things occasionaly ;-)
TIA,
Kinniken
