@Nickless, had the game and loved it, especialy the sledlaseres. I ran it on XP when I first got it (XP). Don't have it anymore due to an accident. "steped on the disk" It never gave me any problems though.

Oh well, I found an active(!) forum on which I posted this question aswell. So someone there (I hope) will help me.
Still, if there's anyone who can help me, don't be shy

You were gone?

nickless it runs fine on all but one of my xp computers although i have an issue on my laptop it doesnt seem to be an xp issue even unpatched
i assume youve tried an uninstall/reinstall

if youve got a dual boot comp have you tried an alternate os
the way i got it to run on the one comp where it wouldnt run was (unfortunately) to reinstall the os and yes that cured it (for me)
btw you have to get the add on pack ,alien crossfire its a big improvement on an already stunning game
beware of some of the add on factions people have modded as a couple of those really screwed up the game

I'm not realy looking forward to reinstalling XP, but I will if I have to.
I's probably good anyway to do it.

I thought Alien Crossfire was Mac only. If it's not, I'll buy it as soon as I get SMAC up and running.

alien crossfire is definitely available for the pc trust me its all im playing at the moment apart from sl
the os reinstall was a last resort for me it did work with the same error but i stress for me it was the LAST resort (and it had worked previously on that computer)

yeah, i love that game.

i dont have XP though, so i can't help you...

I had a game probably about six months back that was doing the same thing. For me it was some sort of error with the sound card i had. It would run fine for about 10 minutes then just puke on me.
Hope I can help.

I dunno if it's a soundcard error, the crashes are random.

a friend gave it to me, it dosent even start
on my XP pro machine, although, it didn't work
on XP home either.
its the special edition pack with the full coulour manual
and the wall-sized poster, maybe that has something to
do with it? (the disk isn't scratched)

I have no coment on you problem, but I ask you one question Idoes it (acording to PC gamer which game it a 97% the highest ever) deserve to be the best game of all time? i think not.

I had a super Ego, but it was pestering me so I killed it.

When I shot it the bullet grazed my soul, and that bled to death too
