Playing with my mate online through gameranger, seems to work just fine vs 2 opponents, more than 2 opponents and the game ends after prebuild.

For me it crashed at lategame after about 45min vs 5 AI... This sucks.
Had the same issue with the original CD I've laying around and hoped the random crashed would be fixed :-/

they'll get it fixed hopefully. wonder if running it in windows xp sp2 fixes the issue....

wait is this with playing with other people or skirmish?

well game is crashing here too.

im playing skirmish with 7 AI on windows 7 64-bit.

looks like it has the same problems like the original version.

This is a sort of bug of the original game too.
When too many units come out in game and destroyed, the game keep in memory the unit data overloading game limits and causing the crash.
I hope it will be fixed soon. I love this game so much...
For the prebuilding I dont know... I suggest you to report to OG for check it better and recognize it.
