    I'm not sure if this should be here or in Tech Support. If it needs to be in Tech Support could a moderator move it for me please.

    ok I'm having a problem with "Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds - Clone Campaigns" every so often on a pretty regular basis the game screen turns an orange colour and the game crashes out to the desktop. I've got the latest drivers and its an original game not a torrented version. My system meets all the specs so should be able to play it fine but this one problem is ruining what would otherwise be a really enjoyable game. Don't suppose anyone has any ideas on how to fix it ?

    Thanks for reading :)

    Sounds like it could be an overheating problem, or just a bad bit of code.

    Do other games work?

    What version are you running? Have you had a look on the developer's support forum to see if someone else has this?

    Just sounds like a bad bug to me. Is this on Vista?

    ok lets take those in order I'm running the

    Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds Saga. (which was the Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and clone campaign boxset)

    System Requirements are :

    Operating System: Windows 95/98/me/2000/xp.
    Computer: 100% DirectX compatible computer required.
    CPU: Pentium II or Athlon class 233 MHz or faster cpu required.
    Memory: 32 MB RAM required 64 MB required for windows 2000 and XP.
    Graphics Card: 2 MB PCI or AGP graphics card required . 4 Mb graphics card recommended.
    Sound Card: 100% Direct X compatible 16-bit sound card required.
    CD-Rom: Quad Speed IDE or SCSI CD-ROM drive required.
    Input Device: 100% Direct Input compatible keyboard and mouse required.
    DirectX: Microsoft DirectX 8.0a or Higher (Direct 8.0a included on CD)
    Multiplayer Pentium II or Athon Class 300MHz or faster recommended for multiplayer.
    LAN supports up to 8 players. Supports Internet Play..

    and my pc MORE then meets all those requirements. If it don't i'd run away and hide in a cave of embrassment :)

    I'm running Xp I wouldn't touch vista with a barge pole.

    and I'm running version 1.1

    Developer was LucasArts so I'll be checking there in a minute. thanks for the help by the way krikkit.

    Ok i just checked lucasarts and the website was about as much use as a condom in a nunnery.

    I've looked on line and other people seem to have/had the same problem but I'm still looking for the fix for it :)

    It's an old game, it never would have been tested on XP with all the patches and service packs installed.

    If you really want to play it, then I'd suggest performing an old install, IE run an old OS with old drivers etc. Will be a nightmare to set up, but it may work
