hi all,
i got a big problem with the settlers 2 gold edition. i played 11hours on the map Europe without problems but now the game crashes the whole time.
every 10seconds the game freezes but the sound and the mouse is still working. i thougt i need more memory size but after i played with 64MB instead of 16MB there was no difference. I will need only 15minutes to complete Europe so i need really help. for example i started a new Europe game and this is running great like the other one. but after 11h the game crashes the whole time.
I use the dosbox 0.72 and my system is good enough to play the settlers so whats the problem?

i hope you can help me

P.S. sorry for my bad english, i am from germany

Save your game after 10 hours and restart DOSBox?

1+1=10

"play faster"?
the cpu cycles are on max so there is no way to play faster.

It sounds like a classic copy protection scheme. Back when they were fun and inventive, instead of infringing on personal privacy and restricting legitimate use.

Yes, but in this case it's unlikely to be that, the bug can't be forced and
usually happens after VERY long gameplay so it's almost impossible to
actually debug that.
