While playing Transport Tycoon Deluxe with the latest CVS (rc) I had a Fatal Error.

See the screenshot. The game crashes and hangs.

The Error happened when clicking a factory.

Might be a bug in Transport Tycoon Deluxe itself.

I get the same, don't even need to click something. Some time ago I played a bit into the game and there it was rock stable. So imo it's no bug with the game itself.

Seems to be related to auto cycles. Does not crash with fixed cycles.

The autocycles could be responcible for that crash, I had set it to max.
Could be that the game doesn't like to be run very fast.

If it is then I need to add it to the FAQ.

The strange thing about this error is, that I can indeuse this error by just executing firefox. But you must know that my firefox configuration is very memory hungry. Could this be a memory swap error?

No it's the timing mechanism. Firefox steals away some time from DOSbox which makes the cycles value go nuts.

Could be, makes sence. I'll digg into the code of the auto cycles to get to know it better. I'll see what I can digg up.

Thanks man,

Erik.
