    Just wondering if anyone who has played this
    version of the game has had random Lockups
    with it? They almost always happen when alot of objects
    are on screen at the same time. I have scoured a snoopium log
    to see if anything I'm doing is causing this... Can anyone
    point me in the right direction?

    Have you used any of the earlier versions?

    If You did, did you find anything similar?

    AFAIK the current one is only the *second* MorphOS version.

    Was able to quit my second Job... and found some time
    to play with Warzone2100.

    I had problems with lockups... but usually happened when
    in the middle of a large fight... 10+ foreign units on
    screen at a time. I could always tell when it was going
    to happen as the sound would start to lag badly...then it
    would freeze. Using Scout I was sometimes able to get
    it to run if I kill the OpenAL process, but not always.

    Last week something in my brain "clicked" and I decided to
    take a different approach. Usually the program locked during
    a battle when cpu usage was near its highest. I had already added
    more stack... which seemed to help but wasnt enough.
    this time I thought to lower the priority of the main warzone2100
    process... Tada!!! Imediate difference... with the priority set
    to -50 It would start to lag badly.. but would usually not lock.
    so not 100% fix but better.

    Today I loaded Warzone2100-2.0.8_RC1 from the cli ... under the new Morphos 2.2,
    dropped the priority down to -20...

    ... And have yet to have a lockup... it doesn't even slowdown
    anymore... I'm running an 11 hour uptime at the moment with no locks!!
    After being crushed by my computer opponent no less then 10 times :-)

    Whatever You Guy's did with 2.2 it has made at least one app more
    stable!! Thanks!!

    During the game :

    - Press "ESC".
    - Go to "Option".
    - Set "FX Volume" to "0".
    - Play Warzone 2100 for hours :-)

    For the moment, it's the only solution to play Warzone 2100 without lockup. This problem is quite similar to Robin Hood.

    problem.

    In Warzone, how do you use the satellite/laser weapon ? I have build all structures but it still unusable.

    Good Question Daff I have spent all my time trying to find
    a way to trap the OpenAl bug that I haven't gotten that far. LOL
    (actually I would start to move forward and the program would crash...
    ticked me off more then once)

    Now that I have a temp solution I can put some serious time
    into playing!! Happy Holiday's Everyone!!!
