Crash after 2 hours - gold version

When I start a game with 1 human and 2 computer players (maybe other combinations too, did not try), after 2 hours the background images and port plans stop being loaded, and the game crashes soon after.

This is new to this version of POC XXL: 1.0.2 built 7.7.2008

which service pack on windows 2000 is installed ? And how much main memory?

as we had to switch from NT to XP as developmentsystem for pocxxl, it might be necessary to use the current service pack for Windows 2000 to be fully compatible with the runtimes. I assume SP4 is the most current. As windows 2000 is no longer supported for developers (MSDN) its hard to check out.

Can you do some tests :

1. switch to autosave daily, so we can get a saved game before the crash
2. try to load the autosaved game and continue -- does the game crash after another 2 hours or immediatly.

yes I can try send it to poc@rdklein.de

soon we will update our VB6 runtime in the setup also, maybe you try to download and instal lthe visual basic VB6 sp6 runtim from microsoft and installit , our installer had vb6 sp5 till now, but the 1.04 version is using sp6 already -- this might help.
