Title: Federation/Klingon problem
Post by: Whyatica on May 04, 2003, 02:04:08 AM
My game crashes whenever I attempt to play a game as the Klingons or the Federation.
I have Win98, with 512mb RAM.

No. I installed a fresh copy with the ST:FO installer.

win98 seems to have some trouble with Fleet Operations, but it's kinda strange the borg work an the other do not.. i am checking a few things.. i am working on an solution for this (on my win98 testing system everything works fine)

have you canged anything in the game options, like the depth of a map or something?

I'm gonna not change any game settings whatsoever and then try it.

Usually I have Lots of resources, faster ship buildings speed and that is it.

hm, should not be a problem.. only random map and similar things are disabled and will cause the game to crash.. but pls try it

we have found the problem for this error. It is an setup problem, which occurs if you have bought Armada2 within the StarTrek Action Pack. There will be a patch for this soon.
thx to Whyatica for his help
