Mid mission crashes

Post by phantoon11 »

Hey everyone,

I'm up and running now, got mercs 1.1 on an older PC with windows 98. Even before I patched, I had issues with the game crashing mid-mission but only on specific levels (one of the galedon missions, the ice ship cave level and the first dread legion mission) it seems like it happens in the heat of battle. Sometimes accompanied by the windows 'ding' sound. I mean total crash too... Every time this happens I have to restart using the power switch on the PC tower ; anyone else experience this or know if there's a fix?

As you could probably guess, I'm not experiencing the issue in the dos version.

Thanks!!

yeah fraid the 1.1 win 95 version is buggy as can be. as mentioned dos is about only way around that set of issues.
