should i bother buying the game if the demo doesn't work or is the game more stable after the patching?

Get it to crash again, then look in your Tracking folder (in the main HistWar folder) for the file spyBoard.txt and attach it to a message here.  Click on Additional Options when you are writing a post to get the option.  Someone will have a look at it and may figure out what the problem is.

You need to grab this file after the game crashes and before you start another, even to look at a replay.  The file is overwritten each time you start a game.

Good luck!

No Putzinator, this is not typical.  I've never had an app crash and I'm only on XP with a pentium4.  Look at the Forum, there are hundreds playing the game with only minor bugs, it's well worth it. Follow Hooks advice and get the file sent in.

i figured out my problem, i switched on the windows xp compatibility mode and it is working pretty well now... should have thought of trying that before posting hehe  so i bought it
