Try running the game without sound (rename sound folder to something else). Haven't yet seen such problem myself.

I had this problem with WITE and WITW.

I am using Win 7 and I found that by FT clicking on the desktop shortcut and selecting the Compatibility tab and selecting "Run in compatibility mode for" choose Win 7 and confirm. This stops the error message on the top bar displaying "not responding" during execution of game turns.

I believe that this settng does something with the memory handling in the OS.

If mode for Win 7 does ny work try the others.

Not responding during game turns can't be really helped due to architecture of the game code. It's best not to switch to other windows at that time or not to minimize or move game window. This can be ignored safely and the game will update the screen once it will be able. Do not close the game when Windows offers it.

I was just saying it's out of scope of my patching efforts to change this :)

Locks up on me when I hit the SAVE button in Admin. tab.
1.08.01 Beta. Had this problem in a 1.06 version, fixed in the 1.07 version.
Don't know if this the same bug as moving the units.
In the 1.06 ver., I walked away for about 40 minutes, and it was still stuck.
Oh well, back to 1.07 ver.[>:][>:]

Turning off all sound/music worked. Just turned sound on again after a week and crashed again - just miss those tank sounds...
