	Does anyone get errors when their score is high? Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

When I try to build up my score late in the game I sometimes have weird problems. I have had runaway random pollution. Pollution begins to appear everywhere, even when every city in the area has mass transit and a solar plant. This only occurs when I have future tech 25 or more.
Also, I have had creaping multi-color junk overflow the map once or twice. Plus, when I get more than 32K of money and capturing another city is what put me over the top, it rolls over to zero or negative numbers. I assume I'm getting array overflows somewhere. Have these been patched anywhere? I don't see how its possible to get scores like those in the hall of fame when these problems occur.

Also, how do I tell which version of Civilization II I have?

Please help, I have 5500 points on deity level at the beginning of 1918 and I'd like to bring it home.

You cdan get your version number from the File menu | game options and look at the top of the frame - it gives you your version details.

As you probably know for SP the latest is v2.42 - for FW, CiC & MP the versions are on a thread in the ?Strategy? Forum.

Haven't had the pollution or multi-coloured junk problem, but the treasury glitch is not uncommon. Somewhere around 30,000 gold there can be a max out, but it doesn't happen all the time. When it has happened, though, I've found it doesn't affect my purchasing power. Somehow, the game seems to know how much I really have in the bank, regardless of what the Status Box shows.

I've had the money problem before. I think the variable that keeps track of the money is a 16-bit register. Limit would somewhere around 32K gold. Never had the graphics problems. I would check and see if you had the patch or not.

I had another funny money problem in designing my latest scenario. I had created some extremely expensive unit. But in stead of costing money, you could rush buy it and you would get money for it!

I don't know about the colors and pollution though. Try building a population of over 320,000,000 there's another overflow case, so beware.

Getting a population over 320,000,000 does not cause any problems. I've never had any problems, but then, I've never reached a score of 10,000 points or more.

I can't get quite that many points, but a decent winning game of mine (1972, 120 million people) gave me minus 364 percent, at about 2500 points.
Gutted. No pollution or anything.
Has anyone else had that problem? Help! What do I do?

I assume that you have the original single-player version. That had a problem with negative percentages, but it's fixed in the v2.42 patch. Download the patch at http://apolyton.net/cgi-bin/civ2files/file.pl?id=191
