Recently started running the game on a Windows 10 system. The mission “Corporate Holdings” crashed over and over shortly after the freighters appeared. Scanned the forum for solutions.

First I changed the buffer settings in flux.ini to
use_w_buffer = 0
use_static_buffers = 1

did not help…

I changed the EdgeOfChaos executable to Win98 compatibility for all users

did not help…

I disabled both sound units (apparently I have two for some reason)
NVIDIA High Definition Audio
and
VIA HD Audio (Win 10)

then the game would not even start…

I enabled only the VIA HD Audio (Win 10) unit (Keeping NVIDIA High Definition Audio disabled)

This enabled me – on my particular system – to complete the mission “Corporate Holdings” without a crash.
Perhaps someone else might find this useful.
