I also have 1.0.6.5, and I do have the updated directX. The debug.err is empty, presumably because the crash is occurring when I try to start a game on the map from DA. It loads properly into the IDE. Here are my system specs from dxdiag (i can post more if you need them, I don't want to clog the board): ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 7/19/2007, 18:20:17 Machine name: DON Operating System: Windows XP Profess

Maybe because I'm a sci-fi nerd and a hopeless romantic. Basically, the idea is that artificial computing power has been growing slightly faster than exponentially for the last 50 years. If it continues at that pace, at some point in the next 25-50 years, computers will be smarter than humans

I created a map but it causes a crash to desktop when I try to start a game on it in DA. It was a pretty simple map - 12x12 size - a few systems in each corner, 4 races, with a group of nice planets in the middle (maybe a cross between typical RTS turtling and MOO2?) I read elsewhere on the board that there was a problem with all planets being owned by only a few stars, though I'm not sure it was even in reference to this map editor. I checked the xml and it didn't appear to b
