	Embassy in France Bug? Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I have included a saved game file for those willing to help me out with what seems to be a bug in the game.

When I attempt to build an embassy with the French, the game crashes on me. This has happened both before and after downloading the new PTW patch. If I could remember it, I would post the error message I receive; but I must restart my computer, load the game, load the saved file, then try and build the embassy... it takes too long for me, so if anyone really wants to see the error I will go and get it.

Does this error happen to anyone else? Does anyone have any advice?

Here are some hardware and software specifications:

*Game - PTW, with new patch installed
*Dell Dimension 8100
*Windows ME
*128 MB RAM
*Nvidia GeForce 2 MX/MX 400
*Colors: True Color 32 bit (although I think it drops me to High Color 16 bit in game)
*Res: 1152 by 864 pixels (but I think it drops me to 1024 by 768 in game)


Thanks to all who are able to help at all!

Is this a modded game your playing? If so, did you add any citizens or resources? I had a similar problem a couple of times, the game would crash as soon as I went into a city view, and I traced the problem to those two things.

BTW, if you add the line KeepRes=1 to your Civ3.ini file, it won't bump you down to 1024x768.
