    Yes, there is in fact a problem in the game engine that tends to make missions crash if you explore too close to the top of a large map, and unfortunately, Nod mission 9 has a flare there, which does that automatically, so you can't even avoid it.

    I made a quick fix patch that addresses this issue, along with a bunch of other problems in the game. You can download it here:

    To use it, you will have to overwrite the "C&C95.exe" in your game folder with the correct one from one of the "game-" subfolders, depending on the language in which you installed the game.

    It has only been tested on the Steam version, so far, but I believe the EA version is identical.

    Note that you might need to disable auto-updates to make this work; it's possible that otherwise, the change will be detected and reverted. Another way around this might be to simply rename the C&C95.exe from the fix pack to something else (e.g. "C&C95-fix.exe"), and just run that directly. This game doesn't contain any drm anyway, so it should launch fine even without being launched through the EA app.
