Subject description modified to be more descriptive Hello there;
I know I'm probably going to be flamed for this, because I really -can't- be specific, but I figured I'd shoot this out in case anyone else had similar problems.
So far, it's only happened in Campeign mode as a Teran GalCom commander. During the first senario, I start heading out for the sector where the "artifact on a ship" is located (Vega Eridani).
It's happened all three times I've tried this; the game will just suddenly start cranking the hard drive a moment, and then go black and exit to the desktop. The first time, I got to Pluto then it crashed near the wormhole to Alpha Centauri. The second time, I got all the way to Tramis before it crashed by the jumpgate to Treas. And the third time, it crashed at Centris seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
Asside from the fact that it's always this one campeign, and I'm always taking the same route, there seems to be very little in common with the crashes. I have yet to experience this crash in training, or in the one roam mode expedition I took until I tried to change resolutions and crashed (See video issues forum for details on that).
My system is an Athalon 4 1.2GHz running Win98SE. It's got 256 M of RAM, a GeForce 3, and the detonator XP drivers.
Let me know if anyone else has had a similar experience, thanks!
