Out Of Time?

[Tamsyn]

A friend has just (re-)started playing Civ II:ToT and has come acroos a weird problem that I've never had and nor, apparently, has anyone else (I haven't found it mentioned anywhere).

Both her and her flatmate, playing the Basic, get the endgame BMP after something like 60 turns! By this time, of couse, they're barely out of the mud-hut stage of city development, never mind pipedreams of Alpha Centauri.

She uses XP and I've a feeling it's another gaming issue related to thet horrendous OS. Am I right? What can she do to fix it?

What do you mean by "Basic"?
Have they installed the TOT 1.1 patch?
I have XP and have never experienced any problem with TOT timing out.

I also have played Civ II: ToT on both of my computers with xp installed and have never had a problem. I doubt that its related to xp. In any case, try installing the patch for the game. That could fix the problem. They could also try to reinstall the game, it couldn't hurt.

Sorry, I meant either the Original or the Extended Original - I'm not entirely sure which she's playing.

I'm not sure if she's installed the patch - she doesn't do that to any games as a rule - but I'll pass your messages on.

Thanks heaps.
