I have been playing Sc4 with the RH expansion pack for about a year now with it occasionally crashing. recently it is crashing so much that it is unplayable, i cant even load a region or city without it crashing. does anybody else have this problem? or better still a solution?

Try isolating your plugins one at a time. It's time consuming but it works.

Try a wipeout and re-install. Also run the Disk utility and check permissions.

Agreed. But in order:

Repair permissions first.

Back-up your plugins, erase SC4, and reinstall second.

If all else fails, search your plugins. I had to do this once. In my experience, it works best if you isolate at least 10 at a time. It helps you narrow down the offending file much more quickly.

    What Mac do you have?

    Uninstall SC4, and seach the entire machine for asypr - look for the plist files for SC4 and delete them, too. Then try reinstalling and see if it runs at all on a new city - don't load any old citys and see if it works.

    I'm working fine using the Beta UB patch on a MacBookPro.
