Need some help
Hi, this is my first post, and... I need some help.
First off, I have installed IGC 2.3, worked fine when I was playing Russia, but now I want to try my luck as France, well, I go to igc config, set it how I want, apply, and start up EU.
When I get to IGC verything is fine, France is there, the only one in fact ebcause I want to be the only major and press start.
Everything is fine, loading fine, then it crashes... .
i've tried it tiwce, crashed twice, and I'm about to mess around with the igc config settings to see if it is that.
EU crashes once or twice every day I play, which is more than 4 hours.
But I've never encountered this proble before, don't know why its doing this.
i've got the latest EU patch etc.
And another problem, if it is one, I've got a P3 700mghz Windows 98 Dell yet when EU is loading on the first screen it takes at the minimum around 2 minutes, and at the most more than 5 minutes.
This has happened each time I've started it up since I've had it, about 2 weeks, and its always 'initializing graphics, that takes up most of the time. Don't know why.....
But EU isn't graphics intensive like 3d sims or the like, and they load up quickly, why does it take so long for me? Or is this normal?
I have 128 megs of ram and a Nvidia TNT 2 M64.
Hope you guys can help, my icq number is 68675771 if you want to icq me, I stay on invisible 99.99999% of the time, so please, go ahead and icq me even f it loosk like I'm offline.
Sincerely,
Ender

This is a question for the scenerio forum.It's right down their ally. Sorry I can't help you with the first question. The second question is odd for I have an old P2 350mhz w a VooDoo3 card. Although I have 384mb RAM the load is not as slow as yours (but can be lenghty).

Bloody hell! I'm a Scenario Forum dude, and I don't know what the answer is.
But, there have been wierd problems before that had the following solution:
1) de-install EU. There is a sticky thread, "Reinstalling EU", that needs to be looked at - no big deal in terms of doing it.
2) re-install EU from the CD.
3) re-install the IGC and follow the post-install instructions in the readme.
Your BiB'ness perhaps to move this to the Scenario Forum?
Also, I know there are various tuning things one can do (defraging disk, etc.). I know there is a tread about this, but cannot recall.

The loading time sounds abnormally long. Programs in the background, anything, could be ur answer there.
