HOMEWORLD CATACLYSM...... problems

[Alphathree33]

I don't know if any of you play Homeworld: Cataclysm...

It's a great game. But every time I play, it crashes. Sometimes I can play for an hour, sometimes it crashes after five minutes. When I say crash, I mean it just stops and reverts to my desktop. No error. No network disconnect. No display or sound problems. Just POUF: one minute you're in an intense fight, the next minute you're staring at whatever hot girl you chose for your desktop wallpaper.

I'm running Windows ME on an Asus A7V with 512 MB system memory, a 1.1 GHz Tbird and a Geforce 2 Ultra with the latest NVidia drivers. I also have the latest DX8 installed, not to mention the latest Cataclysm patch.

Any ideas?

Maybe your processor is running too hot?

BTW, this belongs in GH (put 'instability' as topic) or Software/Games.

yeah, wrong forum, but my guess would be heat. Either that or WinME.

And the reason that heat would cause this game to crash and every other application and game I run to work perfectly is....
