Tactics crashing

First time out of the vault
Hi.

Long timer lurker posting for once.. anyway.

I have FOT, version 1.27 running without mods on a 2.4 ghz laptop with 512 megs of ram. (Intel graphics chipset with latest drivers) Running win 2k pro.

The problem doesnt lie in the comp itself, its the game. I have reinstalled, rebooted, shut down all but the program, it still crashes. I am now just coming up against the reavers, the game crashes. When in Junction city, as soon as I try to heal that guy, crashes. I try to barter, crashes.. >.< I havent found any errors on the cds and just dont have the room to make an ISO like the sticky says.
I downloaded the reavermale2.spr to replace the original.. the original doesnt exist! :evil: Where should I place this file?

Also, are there any other files I should replace? Im really getting sick of the crashes, im at a point that I cant work around it. Its make or break, I wont be able to complete this mission without fixes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, looking for other players for online gameplay, via Hamachi or otherwise. IF I get this fixed that is...

Rename to ReaverMale.spr and place in core\sprites\characters. Enable virtual memory to allow it to take as much room as possible. FOT is a notorious resource hog and does tend to crash a lot with some machines.
 
I dont have ANY *.spr files in my FOT directory whatsoever. I dont have a sprites directory either..
 
So? Did I say anything about the other sprites? Just create the folders and extract the sprite you downloaded to them and then rename it.

Not that the sprite has anything to do with the crashing.
 
Look, I havent been rude about it so why start?

The game is crashing at the exact point the reaver fires a rocket launcher at me. I am simply eliminating problems one by one.
 
I haven't started to be rude, yet. You asked where to place the file and I told you.

It would of helped to mention the reaver crashing the game in your first post.
 
It didnt fix the problem anyway. :?

Every other problem ive had in the game ive been able to work around, until now. ie: Main character not able to search a certain bookshelf, send in another.

Now that im in this town, problems are common. I cant make an image of the cd to scan for errors because I just dont have the hdd space. All I can do is look for missing/damaged files and hope to come across most of them, the game isnt playable past this point. :evil:
 
FOT does crash more the further you get in the campaign. It's a known resource hog with massive memory leak problems, if you haven't the hd space to create an iso then you've probably not got enough space for the virtual memory the game needs.
 
I have set aside space for the swapfile, I usually have about 1.4 gig in total set aside (incl ram)

The main error I receive is "Runtime error", has anyone had any luck with memory management programs?
 
Wow. Guess Ill try a few memory management programs.

Ill run it under linux in a windows emulator tomorrow, see how that behaves.

Im about to put a 240 gig drive in, so wont be a problem then.

I just find it interesting that every other problem could be worked around till now, from what I read around the net, this town was very buggy.. Ill try to locate all the files on the cd, extract them and run a CRC, hope to fix it.

I can play the game as it was.. the only other way is to fail this mission, which I dont want to do.
