<P>
<I>Xconq</I> rarely crashes, so when it does, that is a serious problem;
please report it, and include as much information as possible about your
system, what you were doing, which options were in effect, and so forth.

<H3><A NAME="SEC138" HREF="xconq_toc.html#SEC138">Errors and Warnings</A></H3>

<P>
<I>Xconq</I> will sometimes display "error" or "warning" alerts.  These
can be caused either by bugs in <I>Xconq</I>, or more likely, by mistakes
in the design of the game you're playing.  For instance, you may be
playing a version of a game that has been modified by one of your
friends, but the modification was not done correctly, and you'll get an
alert unexpectedly.

</P>
<P>
"Error" alerts are fatal; you may be able to save the game at that
point, but don't count on it.  Common ones for <I>Mac Xconq</I> include
errors because you're loading a text file that is not a valid game, and
running out of memory.  Most error alerts occur during game startup,
while <I>Xconq</I> is checking out the game definition that it's loading.
Error alerts that appear during a game, and do not involve running out
of memory, are more serious, and may indicate bugs in <I>Xconq</I>, so you
should try to save the game and report what happened.

</P>
<P>
There are many kinds of "warning" alerts.  Warnings are not fatal, but
they do indicate that all is not well.  If you get a warning alert and
don't know what it means, it's safer to quit than to try to struggle on.
Most warnings indicate mistakes in the design of the game you're
playing, and should be reported to the game designer.  If you
<EM>know</EM> that a warning is unimportant, and don't want to see it over
and over, you can hold down the Option key while clicking on the
Continue button; this will suppress all future warnings.

</P>

<P>
In the construction window, clicking on "Build" doesn't always result
in a unit being created immediately.  It may be that the builder has
used up its acp and can't start construction until the next turn, or
that it hasn't come up for executing actions in the current turn.
Clicking a second time will make the construction start immediately.
