Subject: Re: help new player with basic info
my comp is bit..old ),thats one reason i play old games until i get some new stuff.
celeron 400,voodoo3,256ram...but at least i got more than enough in connection->20mb cable
bug is graphical mess/anomaly,i think game itself run under but can't draw proper graphic and result is mess,bosbox ain't working either as it says "can't load screen" or something
im sure too that only working way is to play it with 98se and game should have join ip possibilities too if i remember right and no need battlelan.
battlelan is similar to hamachi but lot easier and stable what i have experience with it,KAHN/other options sounds bit too unfamiliar now and i got feelings best way is 98 so i try it first,i read something about multiplay code so bug that every game crash after 120 turns but i can't say sure..just rumors
i know game is buggy and crash but i have learned pattern when it crash and why and those should be avoided in theory if humans play.
computer spread like disease in every direction without any intelligent reason and this makes finally situation where computer units get "stucked" cause they don't have room to move as every direction is filled with other units..so it can't end it's turn and game freezes,this happends around 150-200 turns,faster if AI difficult is raised,average event is that comp has somewhere 20 engineer units and they get stucked with each other + other units,this can be helped by destroying AI units/restarting game/loading/changing turntime/pressing end turn rapidly after you end you turn as this sometimes forces computer to end it's turn rightaway,my longest game without crashing was somewhere 800-900 turns.
ow one way too is,make 2 savegames slots and save after every turn with each savegame having 2-3 turn distance,when game crashes load game that is 3 turns before and sometimes game ain't crashing when you come on turn that crashes..but eventually game will crash no matter what ) humans should avoid that situation,if code still crash game after 120 turns what i heard then this game may be impossible to play or try anykind good gaming with it,so shame so sad..if i have to choose 1 game what i play rest of my life it would be M.A.X. that works without bugging and AI plays so humanly/good that i would lose to it 50% of time that would be heaven
only question remains is there anyone willing to play and can they make it run properly
