Seems EU 1.09 and ME don't play well with each other. I have an ME box, and I crash when trying to save certain scenarios, or when certain messages attempt to popup on screen. Same with a buddy with ME. My other friend with 98SE has no such problems. Considering most new computers in the US have ME installed in place of 98, can I assume this will be fixed? Or will a very large audience be left out? This has been happenning with me with the original game right through today... actually enjoyed the game this past weekend when I was visiting the 98 equipped friend.
 
I've had a number of problems with EU and ME also. I've added quite a bit of memory to my computer and that's reduced the crashes to a more tolerable frequency. ME has got to be the worst operating system Microsoft has put out in a long time, so I guess it's not surprising it has problems with EU, although I experience more crashes with EU than any other program I run, which is quite a few.
 
Meeeeeeeeeee

It has a nice memory leak..which makes it kinda hard to live if you have less than 256 meg ram
I have 512 which makes EU stable enough..
ONe day it will be fixed and we can live happily again.
 
EU is a unstable game, it might be that your computers are a little to bad. I have 98 and i crashes a little now and then=(

Wow. Good to know about the mem leak in ME, but my games crash even if I try to save immediately after starting. Leave saved game files with a size of 0k.

I have this same problem w/ my ME box. But only w/ about half of the boxed scenarios. The GC works ok & so do the other half of the scenarios. I haven't yet tried the IGC, so I don't know what it will do. So try the GC or another scenario & see if you can find one that works.

Note that the crash on save is a seperate issue from the ubiquitous CTD. The only people I've noticed complaining about crashing on saving seem to be ME users. The CTD seems much more universal. I get those too for various reasons, but mostly I cannot reproduce them. The crashes on saves I can reproduce every time.

Good luck,

PS, Paradox seems to have a handle on the save crash & has said that they will (have??) re-write the save routines to fix it. No telling if the fix will make the next patch or not tho.

I have uninstalled win ME and reinstalled 98 , the game crashes more often , it's probably due to the game not the OS.
They really have to fix that as soon as possible and not in 1 month
