Since I did not seem to be able to find a solution to the problem I got really annoyed with the game and stopped playing it. Today I read silentmayhems post: I tried to do what he proposed, but again the computer crashed regularily. After a while I changed tactics a bit. I killed every alien without any attempt to mind control him. I had no crashes after that. I did some tests and it seems that the computer crashes if you mind control an alien which in turn can be seen by many other aliens. Thanks for the help folks! Best regards, Red One

I have difficulties to believe that there is a problem with the "drawing" of the final enemies in that room. Its not that I open the door and the game crashes. The crash occurs only after I have already fought the battle for a while and killed several of the enemies. But maybe you are right. Is there any not previously seen foe in the room? If this is the case, it might well be that the game crashes a soon as this specific enemy becomes visible. - I am not using any Mods - I think I tried all possible combination of video/display preferences. Makes no difference. Best regards, Red One Ps: The reference drivers for ATI-cards are the "Catalyst" series of drivers. I guess E-angel confused those with the "Detonators".

Well, if everything worked just fine on your computer, you had to find another hobby to waste the better part of your life on. Hadn't you? Regards, Red One

I reinstalled Windows (for another reason) and tried the savegame on a totally clean Version of Win98 with all patches and the newest drivers. It doesn't make any difference. I also configured Aftermath to run in 16bit colours, because the result of the full screen graphics test was strangely distorted. Again, it made no difference. I guess I will make another try on this mission from an earlier savegame maybe this will help. Thanks to all of you for your efforts! Red One

I have destroyed the devices in one room and am now trying to enter the large room in the lowest level. At some specific point in time the game invariably crashes. There are a lot of enemies around and I suspect it happens as soon as I see a certain number of them, but I am not sure. A Windows standard error is displayed and I am immediately dumped to the desktop. A frustrating experience I have to admit. - Error message (varies slightly every time): UFO verursachte einen Fehler durch eine ungültige Seite in Modul UFO.EXE bei 017f:004f4920.
