So I just finished beating the level at Ixmucane in Chapter 3, the one with the giant rock guardian as the end boss, and I'm looking through my Data cubes for info. Out of about three (or four) that I've gotten, the second one is from Reid, the rebel leader you're working with. The second you double-click it to see what he has to say, the game crashes. It never fails. I've tried it on multiple versions of DOSBox, so either this problem has never been addressed or something's wrong with the game files. I'm currently running DOSBox v0.73, and this is the only glitch I've encountered with the game thus far. I've been able to beat the game and avoid the glitch by simply not clicking on the Data cube, but it's still a pain when you're making a playthrough and you forgot exactly which data cube you're not supposed to click. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this problem?

Here are my specs, as per the guidelines:

1. Motherboard: Dell Dimension 8400
2. Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU (Hyperthreaded) 3.00GHz
3. 3070MB RAM
4. Video board: NVIDIA GeForce 6800, 256.0 MB RAM
5. Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit
6. Windows XP Professional
7. Tyrian 2000
8. See above
9. Always happens
10. Sound mode?
11. Video mode: Surface
12. DOSBox 0.73
13. Forgoing the Data cube

Try fixed cycles.

I'm not sure how many cycles to set it to.

Nothing. The game still crashes when I click on Reid's Data Cube.

Any other ideas?

Also happens on real hardware. Once I had success by missing one cube. The game will try to give you the cube again.
