New kind of crash

[MacavitySWE]

Hi all,
before the last patch I wasn't having so much problems. I could get a crash maybe once every 3 hours or so, but with this latest patch, it's enough just to select a character and try to play, and it will crash instantly. It's done this for me ten times now and It's very frustrating to say the least.

Also just before I got this problem I was playing on Ceryshen, I was inside a base when a maxunit opened the door to the stairwell, i could just hear the sound of the door and then it crashed. Might be something, I don't know.

Specs: win98se, amd athlon 1.2ghz, geforce 4 ti4600 (latest drivers), 512mb RAM, soundblaster live! value

I'm getting upgrades soon, just need to figure out what it most crucial.

Might add that I tried creating a new character just for testing on Konried, and it came as far as to the empire select screen, and when I selected and chose to go on to the next screen it crashed directly to desktop.

I guess this is a graphics problem = expensive

So frustrating

ram is the most crucial part!, and 2k/XP help alot with stability. You graphic card is good so no need ot buy a new one.

Ok, I'll look into that :)

Btw, I tried selecting a character and a world directly to see what happened, it launched and sais loading continent, but then the screen got "whitish" and crashed to desktop

First off you need more ram but 98 doesnt support more than 512 Ram. I would probaly upgrade to 1gig and XP and trust me your 4600 is not a probelm...
