I am getting a CTD after running the latest turn from Zeta16. I've tried running it four different times but the game always crashes during the combat replay. Rebooted, installed the latest patch, and successfully ran a turn from another player. Still I can't get the turn to process all the way through.

What is the characteristic of your CTD - does the screen start to fade away piece meal, or go black all at once or what? Do you also get an error report afterwards?

I get CTDs fairly regularly on my PC that seem to be tied to either the 2005 version of Norton Anti-virus or the HP software that checks to see if anything is being faxed. They get worse when I have anything else running in the background so I usually shut off as much as possible before running WitP.

My PC is a two year old Dell desktop with a lot of memory and most bells and whistles, along with the latest version of XP. I've also tested WitP on my laptop and it really doesn't like having Lotus Notes interrupt it to let me know that I have email.

My suggestion is to shutdown everything that you have running in the background and try launching WitP again.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

I tried running it again but it still crashed. There is no message or anything. The WiTP program just closes out. I turned on the show combat option and the crash occurs during when a Japanese CL fights a group of PT boats near Zamboanga.

Ugh! That sounds worse than my problem. Since it is the Combat Reply, anyone should be able to run it - why not send a copy to Frag or Mogami and ask them to run it and see what happens. (I'd look at it for you, but my system is fritzy enough that I wouldn't trust the result.)

Good luck -

Hasn�t someone recently reported a problem when fighting PTs?

Somebody brought that up, and when I disbanded all of my PT squadrons I found that my machine no longer crashed during the combat phase, either.

Just experienced my first CTD....When I attempt to replay the latest PBEM turn it always CTD at the same place. A Surface engagement at Brunei. Me the IJ fighting a group of PT boats after the third hit or so the game CTD. Screen goes black and error report appears.
