Hi,

Here's question from a non-techie. Does the game create an error log when it crashes? I just lost over an hour's worth of gaming when the game crashed and "vanished". No error messages for anything. Used fullscreen mode and lots of other program were runnig simultaniosly in the background.

Maybe the error log would help to spot the possible cause

Found one I think. Although I didn't become anywiser for it reading it

and so-on.

Bloody fabulous. I tried to replay the turn with only music playing and no other software running. But the game crashed again with the same error message.

In the settings.txt file, which is in *:\My Documents\CEAW Grand Strategy for GS, turn off the music; i.e.,

NO_MUSIC 1

If that doesn't work then I'd turn off the sound effects too; i.e.,

NO_SOUND_EFFECTS 1

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed thanks. I missed your post when you posted it. I had the music off all the long. I don't really want to turn off the sound effects. I guess I have to accept the game will crash on me at times. But it's somewhat soothing to know the reason for the crashes at least.

Thanks,
