Hi all

i know M.A.X. was never the most stable of games but i recently started playing this again and I'm wondering if anyone know of any way to combat some of the issues I'm having

for a start its running really slowly and it shouldn't be M.A.X. isn't exactly a graphically intensive game so i don't know why dos box is running it so slow is there any way i can speed thinks up a bit i tried running it with VDM sound but the emulation is hideous and everything is all blurry

second I'm getting a couple of rather annoying crashes here are screen shots

anyone know of a way i can put a stop to it ?

finally anyone know of an official/unofficial patch that fixes these issues

1.) units becoming bugged upon reload this one happens if you attack a target but don't have enough shots to finish it upon your next turn the unit will automatically continue attacking the target but if for what ever reason you need to reload like for example the game crashes then there is a chance the unit will become bugged and will no longer be able to attack as its shot is frozen in mid air

2.) the auto pathing is also causing engineers to become bugged upon reload if ya use the path function to have an engineer build a road for example then there is a good chance upon reload and or possibly turn change that the unit will become bugged and will no longer be usable

3.) while patch 1.04 might fix some issues it introduces 2 fatal flaws 1 the computers wont fight each other anymore and possible 1 or more of the computers players will just sit there and wont do anything the gray computer is doing this on my current game 250+ turns and all its built is like 10 buildings and now it just spawns units from its tank factorys/air plant/naval yard and the other 2 computers wont come and fight me got a small bunch of alien gunboats on there coast and despite the fact I'm massive out numbered the computer wont come and fight me and this is on god mode to you would think the ai would be using all sorts of devious tricks to try and take me out but no it just sits there making very little effort god mode pah I might as well have it on clueless
