The game keeps crashing if you build 2 many units.

Me and my bro sometimes play LAN vs eachother, with my mod. But the game keeps crashing if we get like 150 units each. Is there any1 to raise this limit or is it hardcoded?

150-or-so units? Do you mean 150 different types of unit which the player can construct, or 150 actually built and on the map?

i dont have a specific unit, but approxemently 150-200 units in total, and no not 150 different units. But about 150-200 units overall on the map.

There is no limit, how old is your computer? Sounds more like a hardware problem.

1 of the computers is about 6 years old, but has some upgraded parts, thats probobly about 4 years old. It cant handle crysis, but it can handle alot of the modern games out there. The other 1 is a really good laptop, thats actually better then the other computer, even tho its just a laptop. I bet its about 1 year old or so, and pretty expensive. So i dont think its the computers. Might be the mod in some kind of way? But i think the game can crash if u buy 2 much units without any mods aswell. But perhaps its possible to change that value?

There is no "value" too change, the game shouldn't have a problem with lots of units. It will make the game lag tho but that requires several hundred units for it to effect a good computer. I personally have played games where I have build over 300 units & the game didn't even lag let alone crash.

Ive had lan and internet games with well over 500 units built with little to no lag, however It would crash sometimes if I ordered to many units to move at one time. But this does definitly sound like hardware/old com syndrome. My older com does the same thing to many units = crash

I have a line in my AI file to build infantry to occupy buildings nad I have a map that for 5 players. The AI occupies as many buildings as it can. After 2 1/2 hours of holding off the computer, rebuilding my base several times I managed to build a big enough strike force and tried to take on 2 of the computers after I managed to destroy most of their base, then a serious fire sale went crazy, The game lagged for about 2 min before I had about 600 infantry marching on my base, periocially there was some lag as this freakin huge wave came across the map. This happened using NPatch and since I went back to the current Rock Patch, it has happened occasion, but I never had a crash.
