Has anyone been able to finish a game since the patch?

To date, I have not been able to complete a single game against the AI.
Whenever an AI side (any 1 if playing against several) is near destruction, the game crashes.

Has anyone been able to complete even a single game with more than 4 sides playing?

damn.
I usually play nirvana. Each time i break thru and almost destroy one of the AI, the game crashes.

I only crashed against the AI once, the computer froze three times in mltiplayer though. AI was in those game.

Played 3 yesterday, One as Borg , One as Klingon and One as romulan all 4 player games FFA.

I didn't like the AI's decision to only attack me throughout the game considering there were 3 of them meant I had to constantly have fleets of k'vorts cloaked on hunting missions  >:(

Nope, not one (with 4-players or more), i was able to complete only 1 game (1vs1), however i can't even duplicate that... The game crashes on the same map with the same settings...
I've given up, frankly.

So far, I've never experienced any crashes in a normal (unedited) game.
I admit that I don't beat the ai that often, but wheter I win or not, I never get any technical problems, on all the maps and with all the race combinations I've tried.
However, I don't play against more than 4 ai's very oftan, so I might just have been lucky.

It depends on the races I use but it seems as if time drags on the probability of a crash increases.

Somewhat like this

10 min : 0%
20 min : 0.5 %
30 min : 1.0 %
40 min : 2.0 %
50 min : 5.0 %
60 min : 6.0 %
80 min : 11.0 %
100 min : 15.0 %
120 min : 30.0 %
140 min : 33.0 %
160 min : 40.0 %
180 min : 50.0 %
200 min : 75.0 %
240 min : 85.0 %
280 (+) min : 95.0 %

Might be a memory issue then

Could it be some sort of memory leak or something? That would explain why the problem has a greater probability to happen later in the game verses early.

...i have sometimes game crashs too but dont't know why this happens.


But one thing i'm sure about. If one human player starts fighters from the... i think avalon class...i get a game crash by 99%...  if i'm looking at this point of time at the avalon class

@Rhaz

That yould fit my experience pretty much!

I think, Well i've crashed 4 times now and it all involves playing the Ai on hard with the borg.

Specifically while using the optimize avatar
