Has this question already been posted? I crash when I try to enter sector I3 - I've tried entering normally and it lets me place my squad, but when the tac map loads it crashes.
I also tried doing auto resolve when the combat screen comes up, but it still crashes when I try to enter it on the tac map.
What gives??
Thanks guys,
- jman

Apparently, I am one of the unlucky ones as well
I captured the city sectors and began working on the surrounding urban sectors. Upon entering I-3 I place my mercs and when I attempt to load th sector it crashes .. everytime, no matter which mercs I am sending.
Like the above poster, even if I auto resolve and win I cannot go "to" the sector (despite being "in" it), ie go to the tactical screen, without crashing.
One other major problem I am having -- Rude Dog is bugged to all hell. This happened after capturing Prax, I think.
I cant get him to move at ALL. I can use him to move stuff from sector to sector, assign him to squads, vehicles, heli, but I cannot get him to move in the tactical screen. He is 'stuck' and refuses to go anywhere.
If I attempt to fire I get the clock for a cpl minutes. If I drop something it "disappears" and is gone forever after the "dropping item" animation completes.
Very strange -- its bumming me out, I miss using the Rude one
Other than that the game has been pretty bug free. I have had some cashes when Col. Kelly is about to spot an item and perhaps a few other ctd's, but overall a very enjoyable fairly bug free experience.

Yes, well, I thought we solved it, but if the fix doesn't work,-...damn. (you did start a new game or at least made sure the maps weren't visited before, right?).
Well, I still think the crash is due to a poorly built map. It's what you get with loads of contributors (no offense).
So, if anyone is willing to rebuild that map, just start all new (no copying) and remake the map more or less the same as it is now with comparable guys, items and entrypoints in it, it might solve the problem for all of those who have the crash occur.

I too am using WIndows XP. I set the shortcut to win98 compatibility mode and 640x480, and it fixed the problem for me too, and I didn't even have to restart the game. Just loaded the previous save and it let me into the sector as normal after changing the shortcut. The only problem I have with win98 compatiblity, is the sound stuttering if more than one merc is trying to talk or if the game is saving when someone is talking. Hope this helps others.
