I am experiencing the same thing. I have also sent an email to tech support about this. Hopefully we will get a patch or something soon.

Hi dear A&A lovers ...

I did update my Mobo Bios and Graphic drivers again ! And played the game again ofcourse ...
We did not have a crash today but an error-screen with dump-file !!!

This is more than i had a few days ago ...

So we send the .log and dump file to timegate and maybe they can find out what the problem really is or give me a tip so i can at last buy the game !!!

Greetings from a hopefull Holland !!! :weird:

I purchased the game lastnight at Wal-Mart actually. Being a fan of the boardgame with the same name, I just had to buy it.

However, the game is full of bugs. I ALWAYS crash to the desktop within' 20 minutes of playing the game! They need a fix!!

I use Windows 2000 Pro, with a P4 3.0 Ghz CPU, and 512 MB DDR RAM. I don't see my computer having any problems running this game.

Please TimeGate, do something.

In your A&A directory is a folder logs. You can find a log file and maybe a dmp file from that game that crashed. Zip them and send them to support@timegate.com
Also you can add a report from dxdiag ...

Succes

I haven't heard anything anymore and i have the feeling there are a lot of complaints ... :bored:

Hey TomFan.....

Well, on the Timegate forums support has said the patch is in the works.... addressing Stability and balancing issues.

Timegate staff isn't posting anything on the Atari forums. It's a shame since there are a lot of players using these forums. Check the Timegate forums though, you can get a response from the developers there.

Chalk me up as one more with the lock up problem. Nothing short of a cold reboot resets it. CTRL-ALT-DEL has not effect. I'll keep checking in here. Please post if anyone comes up with a fix.

:eek:

This weekend i have been playing A & A every day and certanly for a couple of hours ... : NO CRASH <-- do you get it ?

I haven't updated any drivers since the last time and with the same drivers it crashed several times.

I also haven't changed anything on the computer and the same programs are running ...

Maybe the game crashed because it was october or early november ? LOL

But you don't here me complainin but i still wonder ...

Here's what I did. Upgraded my computer's BIOS, upgraded the Intel chipset, upgraded the sound card driver, upgraded the video card driver. Since then, no lock-ups. Good luck everyone!

Please note that upgrading your BIOS is not advised for computer novices, but it can help. Hard locks/freezes, like the ones described above, are often the results of out-of-date drivers or old motherboard BIOS's. Upgrading any/all of your drivers (including motherboard chipset drivers) and updating your motherboard's BIOS can often help.
