I suggest you try the SDL port instead. It is much more stable. The only thing is that you have to use the command line to save and load games. BTW, your games are always autosaved every few turns. So even if the game crashes, you should be able to resume playing without losing much progress. ~Daniel _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
