Game still degrades and stops working over time, 3rd time this year.

Just FYI, using mounted disc on virtual clone, game stops working within a month, gets to land 5 or so, last time land 4, then crashing after the startup screen or random places in the game.  Using fanpatch, same when I played BOTG, got to last land, crashes after letting a few volcanoes go off.  Every time.  On a patched Win 10, downgraded and patched to Win 7.  No issues with other old games like the Earth 2150 games.  Could be the downgraded machine, could be the files, just don't know anymore.  Play again when I buy a used Win 7 machine.
