Alright, I'm at my wit's end with all the crashing. Since CA and Sega seem absolutely determined not to do anything about all the problems with this game... I've heard people say the cracked version runs better than the legal version, has anybody experienced this? If so, where's a good place to download it?
write down the offset number of your error and google for that it just might get you a solution.
i had a stupid crash to desktop when i wanted to start a new grand campaign because i had turned the battle time limit to 2 hours instead of 1 hour.
thanks to writing down the offset number i could find out what caused it and start a new grand campaign no problem.
the offset number should be top left of the error message.
actually, this happens with me too, but instead it happens when i click on big fleets, ports, cities, and armies. As France, i clicked on Paris, and (i timed it) it took 58 seconds for it to unfreeze, and then next time i clicked on Paris, it crashed.
It happens to me with Paris, too. And Madrid, Southampton, Quebec, Montreal, and the British ports in the Caribean.
