When playing TA on my laptop, the game will freeze at some point into the game. It varies each time, but when i freezes is after the end turn button is hit. It shows ships moving etc. and I can still move around the map and look at whatever when the ai are taking their turns. However, the game then freezes completely with only the mouse being movable but nothing reacts at all. I am then forced to alt-tab and use the task manager the end the game.

Here is my debug.err:
(I took out the repeating lines
"Debug Message: Error flipping back buffer to primary buffer.
Debug Message: Unknown
Debug Message: n/a
Debug Message: Unknown error when flipping back buffer to primary buffer."
at the end because they were repeating themselves about 200 times...)

That is where I cut off the rest of it because it said nothing new.


Thanks for the help.
