Hi!
I've tried to find a solution to this here and in many other forums, but I can't seem to find any similar cases so it's difficult to know what advice to follow.
I'm playing Pharaoh and Cleopatra on a PC with Windows 10. It's installed through GOG, and it's installed under C: in the program files. (read this could be an issue). I've resently gotten a widescreen patch. I've had problems with it crashing when starting the game, but fixed that by installing RADvideo. Other than that everything worked fine up until playing Heh.
So on this particular map the first thing I noticed was I could no longer see any production happening. All buildings are active and I can see the thing they produce (trees growing, materials being stored), but the animation showing the production isn't happening, and I see no laborers. There are also no flags on active buildings. The mission was still playable until a certain point (pretty far in) when the screen froze and the sound started looping. This now happens every time, and I think it happens at a certain point in the mission because if I speed the mission up the crash happens faster. I then have to restart my computer. I have also noticed I have people walking around in a spot on the map where there are no buildings or roads. It starts with one man carrying gold and then there are several others in the same spot looping and disappearing, a few moments before the crash.
I've reinstalled the game (but kept the save files) without results. What can I do? Could the problem be the map or the save file and how can I fix that?
