Crashes between 1235 - 1265

[borg1980]

I played twice CK 1.04a umoded and twice had the same problem. To 1235 game crashes 1-2 times, but from 1235 to ca 1265 I have crashes every 5-10 minutes (after one of them I loose my savegame). It's very frustrating...

There are definitely issues with some events and possibly a mem leak or some other slow but unevenly inexolerable data issue that seems to show correlation with chronological age of the game. I agree it is not even, but correlation there is. I am using some machines well above spec for the game, and having fewer problems it seems than others. I also play slower when it looks like I am seeing anomolies in the data. There is no question that the betas have whatever problem 104a has, but worse, but I think I am seeing better consistency on better machines and the slower I play. The less nimble your mahine, the slower I would play.

I think it has some correlation with Hordes expansion, but I can be
wrong. My machine is quite good (duron 1800, 256 ram ddr, ati 9200). I will
play a bit slower and observe. Thanks

These are ok, and your vid card is quite good (although this is where you need the least help). I would definitely play slower. Except for the video card, these resources are not above average, and your ram is only just sufficient.

However, if you play slow enough, you should get fairly good results with 104a. The machine I use as my "slow / control" comparison machine is a 850mhz Athlon with 384sdr and a 64meg GeForce 2 (!) and so long as I am patient and do not play too fast, it works pretty well. If I get bored in slow periods, I get up, make a cup of coffee, talk to my kids, or try to figure out "what is big orange ball of fire in sky".
