every time I play the game recently it keeps crashing. I'm using WIN 98. It seems like everytime it hits $3 million it crashes either the whole computer or just the game. any way to help this?

Does that happen only with one save game or all the games you play?

I encountered such a problem once. Starting a new game solved the problem. Probably a corrupted save.

I would hate to have to try and cross the tracks in that world. Wow.

I never make much with helicopters and planes..I like the trains and land rovers when possible. The boats can be alright too

That's a pity.
Planes are the perfect solution when your world becomes congested with tracks, buses and trains. It's sometimes hard to free the space for a large airport, but imo it's worth it. Planes are also great when your trains can't take all the passengers from the larges cities.

What a game this is! I haven't played it in years. I found it here and now i remember why i love it so much! Trains, buses and lorries are best to use at the start. As towns develop then you should use planes and boats

So, uh... what exactly *is* up with the multiplayer mode, anyway? Or is that question going to continue to be ignored in here... javascript:emoticon(':tai:') :tai:

You know, there might be a way to put this a bit more politely... Anyway, for what it's worth, here's what the FAQ section of this page has to say about multiplayer:

[2.2.2] Can I play TTD Multiplayer?

Yes, you may play via null-modem, modem, IPX or TCP/IP network.

For IPX, you may use either Novell IPX with LSL or Windows 95 IPX
compatible protocol.

For TCP/IP, a standard Windows driver will do. However, it is rather
unstable. It must be said though, that TCP/IP games are only available
with the Windows version of the game that comes with the Tycoon
Collection.

Note that if you're using the Patch, not all options / features of the Patch work. Notably the options that require you to use the CTRL-key won't work in multi-player mode.

Mind you, I have no idea what it's all about. If it doesn't help you, I suggest that you do a bit of googling.

Multiplayer mode? :blink:

Beats me too...I always thought it was a single player only game.

I didn't mean to be impolite, was just rather frustrating to read all 8 forum pages (noting that others had asked) and to find no response. Sorry 'bout that


Thank you for your help ...
