Bug- Game locks after purchasing Hyp. Man. Center

August 31, 2002 11:47 PM from

I'm in a game right now, where whenever I "purchase" the production of a Hyperion Manufacturing Center(HMC), the game will lock up after I hit the turn button. It doesn't seem to matter what other activities I might do during the turn.

After locking up, I can "restore last civilization" from the main menu and purchase the HMC with no problems. But as soon as I try to purchase the HMC on another planet it will lock up again.

I can email a saved game if anyone is interested.

I haven't seen this here, but then again, I tend not to buy improvements with special names, whether or not they are actually special.

Perhaps someone should try purchasing a Wonder or Achievement and see if it's something specific to the 'one per' code. (I can't in my current game, but once I get a few days farther in, I'll try if noone else has.)

Yes, I would like to see the saved game. I don't think that the HMC is a wonder, achievement, and it's definitely not a trade good.
