I've recently re-installed EU1, with the view of playing this great game once again but have been thwarted by some real bad crashing problems both in SP and MP.
Its really, really annoying and somewhat unpredictable. It crashes every five to ten years in SP on my laptop. I've tried MP and its better, but not for my son, whose laptop crashes after barely a few months.
Both installations are of EU1 1.10 (pre-patched new re-released discs) before AND after the IGC/Enhanced AI installations. The laptops represent the diversity out there, mines a P3 700Mhz, and his is a P4 1.2Ghz. Both however are Windows XP although this hasnt presented a problem for me in the past. I started out on Windows 2000 when first playing this game.
There isn't a great deal of logic with this fault and i am kinda hoping i stupidly missed a 'quick' fix. I'm presently installing the game from an older (not pre-patched disc) in the hope that maybe its 1.10 thats screwing me about.
Any clues?
