I noted my name displays next to the major race as I pick it. I take it this is to shows who is playing that race? In a multi-player we would see other player's names?


When I try to play the game it freeze -crashes my system after a few turns.

I have been spending most of my time on models so I may have missed something you have already said about this. Could it be something I missed about the installation?

It happens on clicking turn after a few to as many as 20+ turns. I will try turning off security and running it again when I get off work. I did not do anything about, what was it, port 777?

you can take any port you want (as long as it's not blocked by anything ), the 7777 is just the standard one since it's mostly empty.

hm, a crash on turn end, we had a few of those on the previous alphas. Hope we can get this one fixed too!

I turned on "game mode" but it still froze my PC. It takes a reboot to get going again. This time it was not on taking a turn. I have never gotten to 30 turns.

Now I turned off security all together. I played for 28 turns then it shut down the game with an error message. This kind of error did not crash the whole PC. I saved a screen print with some more info. I will put it in an error folder on SharePoint Documents. It started out with BOTE.EXE app Ver 1.0.0.1, ModName fmodex.dll, ModVer 0.4.6.17 Offset 00004943.

I could not find the temp file noted in the screen shot

I have tried the control a and control c and highlight but could not copy out the text in that way. The error files are not being recorded to the temp folder. I did screen print a few more pages and uploaded it to SharePoint.
