Howdy folks,

I bought Total Annihilation a while ago from GOG to install on my mac, and yesterday my brother installed it for his windows computer. It worked fine until today, I reinstalled TA because the multiplayer function wasn't working, there was an error every time we tried to. His TA kept running normally however, while mine crashed.

Today I wanted to start a regular skirmish game and I got the same error as before, when I tried to play a multiplayer game with my brother. I even reinstalled the game, which proved useless. The game also starts up extremely slowly and even the loading of the map takes more than 2 minutes, when before it took less than 10 seconds. It's really frustrating because I've wasted so much time trying to fix this and nothing works.

Has anyone had this problem before? Do you know how to fix this?

This is the error:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x004c6503).
