SMAX bugfixes

**jwkinneyjr** · May 2, 2010, 16:53

I've got original disks of SMAC and SMAX. I'm running SMAX on a Lenovo R61i laptop with WinXP and about 3 GB of memory.

I'm having problems with the large map bug (crash to desktop) and the scramble aircraft bug (also crash to desktop). Reading old threads here on Apolyton and on Civ Fanatics, I found that several programmer types have apparently corrected these bugs on their own systems.

My question: Are any of these fixes available to us non-programmer types? It's very annoying to be in a hot game and suddenly the program crashes.

Regards, John Kinney

I'm familiar with the scramble aircraft bug causing a crash to desktop.

I'm not sure about the large map bug that causes a crash to desktop. Could you describe in detail what happened? If you have a save before the crash, we would appreciate it if you could post it here.
