Hi! I'm curious if anyone else has had issues with this release crashing during an instant action game. This has happened to me before with Armada where I get a huge fleet built up and when both sides really start going at it the game completely crashes. I was REALLY hoping this new release from GOG wouldn't do that but it looks like I'm right back at square one. Before I send the fleet in the game runs great. Zero complaints on graphics, sound, etc. If anyone has a suggestion on what I can do I'm all ears! Thanks everyone.

To be honest I'm not sure what that means. By "specials" do you mean like the research weapons the ships use? I don't know anything about self destructing ships. The opposing force handles any destruction of my fleet, lol.

It seems that the game just overloads when a bunch of ships start shooting at each other. I'll need to play Armada II for a while and see if the same thing happens. I get the feeling Armada 1 is just too glitchy.

Ok. Can't really help you but I don't get that on online multiplayer so maybe it's a instant action bug

I think he means self-destruct with perhaps a Shockwave, Temporal Distort, or bloody Diamond Utrium bursts going everywhere, etc. PS. Ive used self-destruct to take out an entire borg fleet (capital ships only) that was gonna wipe me out and rob/assimulate my ships ;)

I've had that with armada years back on older machines, it would just black-screen and page-file-dump to pieces. Most prob memory leak, or a logic bomb in the code, which they never bothered to fix. GoG is not going to find every old bug and fix it, they are going to just get it to work as near as they can.

sorry if this doesnt 'help', but thought you not the only one this has happened to.

Ohhh like the Klingon ship that sends that shockwave. Gotcha. Actually, funny enough, that did happen a couple times during the game I was playing and both were pretty funny. Didn't crash the game though.

First time they sent one through the wormhole which I had completely covered and it took out the star base along with some phaser turrets. Then a little later when I sent a small fleet of ships to take a dilithium moon the Klingons sent another one and took out most of my fleet. In both instances all I could do was laugh and say "Well played." Man I love this game, lol.

Well I'll try again and work with the settings. Maybe changing the compatibility mode or lowering the graphics will help. Idk.
