Default Re: Am I only one crashing?

Yep, the game has run pretty smoothly on the majority of systems. Here are notes to any others that may be having a problem:

- Do NOT try to run messaging software (ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, etc) or other types of resident software that may activate while another program is running, while running Trader 2; it may crash or act strangely on some systems. My games have not really been designed to be friendly with other large apps in memory, due to the architecture of the Microsoft libraries used to produce the games.

- Try to get your Start-Up section as clean as possible (the amount of programs that start when your computer boots; the icons next to your clock on your Toolbar). This goes for all games, but Trader 2 in particular. Most random crashes/odd behavior in Trader 2 have been solved by removing excessive start-up programs. Also, my games seem to be sensitive to low memory conditions caused by lots of start-up programs.

Thanks and have fun!
