I'm on a skirmish game, have reached turn 95, and the game simply crashes every single time when ending turn.
I was going to attach my save game file so you guys could look at it..... but this forum won't even let me do that!
Edit: I was able to send the save game to tech support. They said it was because the game is running too fast! They suggested I slow the CPU cycle setting on DOSBox down to as low as possible, which I did, down to just 5% - and for some reason knock it off full screen when ending turns. So far it's worked..... up to turn 139 now.
But what about this "memory leak" problem I see 9/10 people get? My problem above was NOT that one, so I may yet have this to come!
The game is still broken! Simple as! Despite MAX1 being what everyone praises till the sun shines out of it's butt!
If MAX 2 gets scorned so severely, Christ! How bad must MAX 2 be then? Why are GOG not fixing this trouble with MAX1?
Edit: Tried MAX2..... no memory leak so far, but the graphics are AWFUL, so ugly - you can barely tell what it is you are looking at, it's just a mush! So many features removed and so much dumbing down!
PS/ I have read the posts on "Dos Extenders" etc, but I just don't understand them. I've tried altering the "mem" field in the game's .conf file, still get the same crash.
