Siege results crash - 12/3/2006 4:44:19 AM

Status: offline 		I have started 3 seperate games and have gotten through about two years in each, but I keep having a problem after about the first year. I click end the turn and the game gives me a message that a siege was successful, and then the game crashes and I get an error message. If I load the game from my last save, if it was about the same time, I will get the same crash, it has happened multiple times in all three games, and always while giving the seige report. I think that I recall the game scrreen showing an area that was not where the actuall siege took place. If I load a save from several turns earlier I have been able to get past the point of the crash.

In each game Im contolling the Union.

sorry my last run, I made it all the way with out getting a crash on any seige

but early on, it looks like we found and corrected what was wrong

Status: offline 		Guys, I am so frustrated with that crash 1862 just began and I already have Kentucky, Arkansas, 90% of Virginia and kicking rebel butt, but Lynchburg siege crash doesn't let me go any further. Tried everything. Nosound, video, music to lowanim and nosound.
I belive that this should be your primary target for fixing as it is serious bug.
Everything else is very nice

Thank you in advance

Status: offline 		Keep the save, hopefully once the patch is out, the save will still work, the OOB changes will not matter as you are far enough in that they don't mean anything
it is seen as serious and is being worked on, all it needs is testing now

the patch is too big for me to pass out, it would need to be set up for download from Matrix

I get enough runs in on it, I hope to be able to give the thumbs up on it and then they can see how they want to handle it

Maybe this can work for you.

I just thought i'd upload the MS Failure Report.
It shows the failed module, I believe.

This was Small Scenario, after Ft. Hill was successfully sieged.

Status: offline 		we have a fix for what we think is the trouble with the seige bug

they have to build the installer for it before they can release it
