Sorry, I have been out and about with no comms. I appreciate all of your assistance. I can tolerate the game as is. I suspect it is something with my network here. Odd that it let me D/L the game though. I'll be back in Dallas in three weeks. I will attempt to resolve the issue then.

I figured out what is causing the crashes. When I send a unit to a loading point (little yellow circle) the game crashes. if i manually load transports, the game runs fine. I am sure an update fixes this. I will wait patiently until I return stateside next month to attempt to update the game. I am sure it must be an issue with our network here. We're in the middle of the Afghan desert using a satellite. Meanwhile, I will play with that restriction. Thanks for all of your suggestions.

I have verified all of the above. Still not working. I have licensed and played the game on two Vista and one Win 7 machine and it crashes constantly. I don't suppose that this fun little game has been ported to Mac has it? I get the same response when I try to run update on all three machines but I can surf to the empire website. I wonder if I can get a refund? I thought It may have something to do with out network but like I said, I can get to the website without issue. I do not use IE but I verified that i could get to the empire website with both IE and Firefox.

Thanks for the response. I am running 1.01 Build 2818. I did as suggested above, using the updater from the start menu but it just sits there saying initializing, then there is a little blip that is too fast to read and then the close button appears. If I try to use the updater from the game screen, I get a message stating that there is no internet connection. I have all of my security turned off. i have made it to turn 56 because of the autosave feature but it is crashing about ever other turn. I will try it on another machine to verify that it is not my laptop.

Hi, I am in Afghanistan. I just purchased and DL'd EoS. I am running it on a 64 bit Win Vista machine. I have a constant connection to the internet but cannot update the game. I get about eight turns into a game and it crashes consistently. Is there any way to DL the patch manually? Thanks in advance Paul...
