SMAC will randomly freeze on me, usually right when I click something. There's no telling when it will happen, anytime between 5 and 50 turns apart. I have Win XP, and the patch as well. Is there anything else I can do?

Since the game runs fine for most people, there must be something on your system that causes a conflict. What's your operating system? Are you running any other programs at the same time? Try stopping any processes, tasks, etc. one at a time to try to identify the conflict. Switch to a lower screen resolution or fewer colors. Read the FAQ thread at the top of the previous page. Look through past threads for other tips. Lots of things to try, if you have the patience."The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."

For me, I'm playing on three different systems:
1. home-made PC, Win98SE - have had no problems, until recently when had the goofy SMAX PP problem, that is hopefully fixed now.
2. Dell laptop, WinXP - only problems have been getting a terranx errors, that cause the game to shut down w/ a warning.
3. Gateway PC, WinXP [at my folk's] - change the code structure to get it to work on XP [as did for the laptop too], and all works good.
So, as mentioned, depends on your system, set-up, etc... patience, unfortunately, is not one of my virtues either...
