Single Player - Waste of Time !!

[Wittlich]

Well, my PTW games have not crashed or hung-up (either on single player or LAN play) - So far.

I have an 866Mhz with 512Mb memory....of course, I'm using Windows 2000 Professional as my operating system...

I've had the same problem as roobin, the game dies (or hands up or whatever you want to call it freezes whatever) on a turn no matter what I do, no matter how many units I have, it just dies at the end of my turn. All that wasted time really pisses me off.
Unlike roobin however this has only happened once and I've completed several games.
I'm on a 1.7GHz Pentium4 512 MBRAM with windows XP.

I've already tryed to upload the save to this message board but it's too large, if anyone wants to try it I can email it to you.

FWIW, I've played dozens of single player games of PTW and they haven't hung on me.

Post your save and I'm sure people will look at it.

No big problems for me

I've finished all my games so far, no big problems except when I tried MP.

4 games completed so far I think.

Only problem I experience in SP is that sometimes my mouse stops working, usually when trying to scroll on Military Advisor screen. I just save, quit and restart it and it works again, no big deal really. Only happens in late game and it is pretty rare.

i never finished a game in PTW, but i have one thats just entered the industrial era with no crash (yet). too much work to get some quality civin' in.

[roobin]

I have just re-installed Civ3, ptached it - Then reinstalled PTW.

I'm up to about 1000ad at the moment, so I'll let you know whether this game hangs or not......

Fingers Crossed !

hope it works

When I have more than 100 units (not sure of the actual #) I can crash the game by hitting F1 and then F3.

I can also crash it by retiring a game and then trying to exit (hardly a problem i know).

I have also noticed crashes on the military advisor screen. I don't have PtW yet, just 1.29f.

This is possibly related to the slowdown bug I have experienced, where a military unit that has just moved will remain selected for a while before the game moves on to the next unit or the End of Turn. If I manually select another unit, the game will crash later, often at the Military Advisor screen.

mine doesnt crash but it consumes ridiculous amount of memory

[Slax]

For I while mine consumed ridiculous amounts of my time.

[roobin]

I have reinstalled Civ3 & PTW, then patched them both.

I am now up to about 1800 in a game - So it's looking good !!
