updated the game earlier and now it says I have version 0.90[b].005 and asking if i want to upgrade to 0.81.006

Playing on a huge map with 5 other major races and a lot of minor races I've been having popups telling me I'm low on virtual memory. I'm running 1gig of ram a pentium4 3.4ghz HT chip, nvidia 7800 GT card and 300gig HDD. At the moment my virtual memory is set at 1750mb. This particular game has shutdown 7 times now with in 4-5 turns of the last auto save.

Basically this event occured and I recieved the planet, unfortunately it was a planet already occupied by another race. They were evicted and I attempted to build on this palnet. there was no coloney but i could queue up projects. The build time was never. Attempts to colonize with a coloney ship fail, the ship would only go into orbit. Attempting to destroy the coloney to recolonize fail as the destroy coloney button crashes the game. I apologize if this has been stated previously, couldn

About 50% of the time if I minimize the game and then attempt to bring it back up I recieve a fatal error: invaild Target message and the program shuts down. Smart Exception did not record any crash data on this. Couldnt find if this was already mentioned.

all i see is the beta 3 files, no 4.

havent seen this anywhere on the forum yet but while playing around with ship designs(mainly hulls and extra's) I had the idea that it would be a cool feature if you could save your unique designs and load them into new games. That way if you come up with something you really like you can use it again in new games instead of in some cases vainly trying to reproduce your design.

sorry for the double post but I cant get the edit to work. If you load the save game file the message stops

had a ship wander outside my current range and the messgae then popped up every turn after that, even after i had moved the ship into orbit of one of my planets edit: this goes away if you load the save game file

havent been able to test this due to no civs surrendering to me in my second game but if a planet had a ship in que at the starport when it surrendered to me once it completed building i would get the ship completed message after every turn.

accidentally hit this instead of load game, completely froze the game. Ended up restarting. Tried it again to make sure it wasnt a random freeze. Repeated 3 times in a row.
