I'm having trouble with smac! I can play the early game fine, but by the time I get to the mid/late game I get frequent crashes. The crashes are generally when I try to wake up or "activate" units that were put on hold. For instance I'll have stationed 10 needle jets at a base and decide to activate them all, I'll begin clicking on them all and the game will crash. I don't know if it's needle jets in particular, or that's just a unit I typically have a lot of.

The game will hang for 1-2 seconds then the screen will turn an almost black and white and the crash report dialog will open up.

I so want to get back into this classic game from my childhood, and it runs flawlessly otherwise. I of course have the latest update since I only bought this recently from GOG, plus the unofficial smax fix/patch.

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. The problem is also hard to repeat. I can save, activate a fleet of aircraft and get a crash. Re-load, do the exact same thing and not get a crash. Then a turn later activate a single unit and get a crash.
