Need help with ToT scenarios

[Daytripper]

I recently boight civ 2 ToT but am unable to run any scenarios i download due to either the game crashing upon startup or it saying the file format is obsolete. any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I am assuming by the way you've phrased your question that the game runs OK otherwise, and the only problem is with downloaded scenarios(?).

Does this include the Time Threat Paradox scenario? civilization.gamestats.com/cgi-bin/civ2files/file.pl?id=336 - 11MB

Have you installed the patch?
civilization.gamestats.com/cgi-bin/civ2files/file.pl?id=334 - 3MB

Are you running other memory-hungry applications / programs in the background?

Have you attempted to alter any files in the game's directory?

When downloading the files, were there any interruptions during the download (e.g. modem dropped out)?

Are you trying to run a Civ2 scenario on test of Time? It won't work, unless you try Angelo Scioto's Civ Converter.

See http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum29/HTML/000657.html where it appears as though the patch is required. You might want to contact Angelo at scotto.a@tiscalinet.it for more information.
