To be honest, you may wish to contact the game designer and let him know about this one..

Same problem

Submitted by stobor on Sat, 2006-09-30 16:54.

I'm getting the same error. Sometimes I can play for a few turns but it usually dies on the first or second turn.

same on dual core :(

Submitted by Ulthor on Tue, 2006-10-03 07:24.

I have an Athlon 64 X2 with 4gb RAM, Ati Radeon X1900XTX and got a same error after some turns, and the screen sometimes blinking. So, I wish this problem will be fixed in full version, because I don't want to pay for a game what doesn't work. So any idea about what my be the source of this error?

Blinking = White flash?

Submitted by Rilbur on Tue, 2006-10-03 08:58.

By blinking, do you mean the screen flashes white? I have that same issue on an X1800XT... There's a thread over in technical support where we're trying to collate the various people who have video issues.

There are 10 types of people in the world:

Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

Yes, I meant The screen flashes white. It is a small problem, less annoying then "Range check error" little message.
Maybe I am a n00b, but where can I find the "technical Support" thread?

Click on "Forums" in the left column, then scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Some people with dual-core systems have reported that turning off one processor helps.

I have problem too but its

Submitted by Mr Morden on Sat, 2006-10-07 13:49.

I have problem too but its not with loading the game(demo), after about 3 or 4 turns it locks up on processing after player turns,

I have tried changing to a single core,
I have changed the video memory usage to safe,
I have disabled auto save (as that was causing hangups for a few mins after each save),
Hell I even uninstalled it , Re downloaded it and re installed it. That didnt help either.

Can any one help me get this damn thing to work, i realy loved se 3 and 4 but this is just knocking me off the game atm.

Im running an Athlon X2 4200+, with 4gb of ddr ram and 2x geforce 7800 gtx's (have also pulled out one of the graphics cards to see if it wuld work)and an audigiy 2 sound card. if that helps.
