Re: Is a large game worth playing or will it lock-up
Well I play 400 turn games + using the Mod pack on Version 1.30 of the game, I all ways have 255 systems and max (20) players (me & 19 AI). I can't remember the Last range check error (RCE) I got (sometime around Version 1.21 I think). The game runs great. I also use the quadrent mod as well.
Re: Is a large game worth playing or will it lock-up
I routinely play 250 System, 300 turn games with a few of my own mods and 4-5 I've downloaded. I never get 'em - (RCE's). Running patch 1.30. I have lots of RAM though - Don't want to get into the hardware spec's but IMO RAM is king....
