I have a bizarre problem which I never encountered using the CD-based versions of the games represented under the Earth 2150 Trilogy under Windows 7 (at least the first two games - I've never actually played "Lost Souls" on Windows 7) When I attempt to design a unit in-game, the game immediately crashes. There are no specific circumstances - simply boot up the game, start a battle, and click on the "Construction Center" button. It doesn't matter whether I launch the game using the supplied shortcuts or the games' executables, and changing compatibility options doesn't do anything, either.

I was able to solve the problem; apparently, the unit construction screen doesn't like non-4:3 resolutions. Simply switching to a 4:3 resolution was enough to solve the problem.

Yeah, quite a few posts in this forum about this issue. It's not just widescreen resolutions that are the problem either, sometimes the resolution is just too high for the game and a number of players have had to use 1024x768 to get it working.

Hi,

I have the same problem, playing on win 7, when i press F1 ( design ) it crashes. Did you solve it !

And it wont play full screen mode.
Ah, and I just wondering why the game crashes every time I wanted to construct. I thought it was because of my laptop specs. It turns out because of the resolution, eh ? well, that is a classic game for you.

Thanks for the info !
