Game crashing after exactly 45 minutes

I’m guessing it’s a RAM issue, any stuffies ruins on a solution? I just get a “SoSE has stopped responding” popup right at the 45 minute mark in every new game, are there still large address aware progress that are safe to use?

Edit to add I played modded sins obsessively up til about 2018, only just got my mods downloaded this past week.

Armada2.... Fleet Ops or something else? 16 ship fleets....

I installed something a couple years ago that actually A: let the game run on Win10 properly, and B: Gave a new interface, but the "stock" ships and maps.... No new ships, no selection of officers to play. I thought it might be Fleet ops, but I'm not seeing the option to launch in "classic" mode. C: Gave me the option to create 16-ship fleets instead of 8. Am I just using a new version that did away with the older options, or the wrong mod entirely?

AI Mod for Star Trek Armada 1

check out the video of this AI mod designed to behave more like a player. Towards the beginning of the game the AI will outnumber you and you must play defensively. I chained the enemy fleet and ran behind my starbase, picking off the ships 1 by 1 as they fired on my stations. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2243828302

check out the video of this AI mod designed to behave more like a player. In this video, I lead against the Rom fleet with the Sovs, turned the corb on, weakening their ships. I then chained the enemy ships behind the sovs creating a kill box that allowed me to kill their fleet. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2243828877

Need Help with Armada 2 Multiplayer

My brother and I are trying to play Armada 2 via GameRanger, and it looks like it is trying to create a game via Gamespy, which obviously doesn't work, instead of VLAN. GameRanger forums are pretty dead, and internet searches have come up empty.

Is anyone playing multiplayer? How did you get it working? Are you using another 3rd-party application like GameRanger, or is there a mod that has multiplayer support?

Armada 1 Ship Battles

in a long 4v4 match, controlling the center of the map can be key because of the extra dilithium moons. in this clip, our team tried (unsuccessfully) to take the center of the map using bombers, turrets, and warbirds: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2236235259

here's the next battle in that game which was also pretty crazy: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2236238914

The Calvary

Hey there!

Playing this mission on 'hard' and it's basically impossible. Just not enough personnel to build a fleet of ships to take on the Borg. Anyone managed it?

Armada Map Editor and Windows 11

I haven't tried creating any maps since the game first came out but was successful back then. I'm having trouble though on Windows 11. The map editor crashes every time when I try to save the newly created map. Strangely enough, the three files are created (.bzn, .bmp and .mdf) but then Armada crashes when I try to open them. Suggestions?

Borg Attack Strategies

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2210932431 The Red Borg and the Federation Soverigns drew all enemy fleets to the left side of the map in a fake attack. When the enemy ships arrived, the Sovs turned on their reflector and ran, while the blue borg attacked the mine on the right side and the red borg used transwarp to go to the right side of the map and kill 1 shipyard and 1 tech station before the enemy fleets got back.

Has anyone been able to run the Storm 3D tool on Windows 10??

I've had a few ideas I've wanted to act on, but I need to go in and mess with the hardpoints to do what I want - and the program hasn't been working for me.

Armada 2 dominion war mod.

Does anyone have a recommend graphics setting? I got a new set up and my display is not looking as good. Also, the opening menu is tiny. I have to use windows to zoom in.

A2 player made map sharing on GOG

I recently rediscovered armadafiles.com and download a couple maps. They worked fine in instant action but when I got a friend online to test it, it didn't download. At first I thought he missed the download map prompt but he says he was never prompted. I had him change his map setting to always download as well with no luck.

Does GOG have some sort of block for player made maps?

Armada 2 Upgrade project

Looking to play the campaign with better textures but can't seem to get this to work. Bought the game from GOG and when the installer for the texture mod finishes it just makes a folder in the game and doesn't do anything. Manually copying the textures... did not end well for the game...

Armada 1 GOG cant install 1.3 patch

Got GOG's ST Armada1, can only see 75% of the screen

EDITTED: there is RDNA patch if you managed to download the older GOG armada file like I did.
