I had the same problem with SimCity 3000, then all I did was download a pach via loki_update and the game started to work again. :-) Try installing loki_update and update your game first.
Thanks for that, Richard - I didn't know these updates were still available. As a tip to anyone else doing this, it's probably a good idea to download the patches first, and then install them either with Loki Update or just by running them - Loki Update downloads them to a tmp dir, and then deletes them afterwards :-) Nevertheless, emboldened by this, I decided to download the patches for Kohan, which was running OK for me on 8.2, but hung when you tried to set up a network game. But once installed, it hangs on one of the opening screens! According to the newsgroup, this seems to be an smpeg problem. So it just goes to show - one step forward and two steps back! Thanks to Rohit and js for their comments. I'm too much of a cowardy custard to try js' suggestion of multiple gcc's, I'm afraid! -- Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rydd yn Gymraeg
