thanks Gorlom. Lets see I have noticed it crashing in several places. Always does if I take a tank and drive around the north part of the ufo approaching the back door of it, the game always crashs. Sometimes entering or leaving combat. The game has crashed for me when accelerating time in later games, doesnt seem to depend on which time accelerator was used, I believe it has something to do with the ufo spawns at different times. I can reload several of my games and they will crash when it seems ufo spawns should occur at a certain point int he game. Ive had several other crashs in some areas I cant remember to many details about. Oh and game has crashed several times entering or just after a air combat event. I just upgraded my graphics card driver and it seemed to be better but just got a crash.
guess i should leave some system info? basic
