1.60 Game Freezes during Naval phase - 9/17/2009 2:19:56 AM

Status: offline 		Running Vanila game, no mods,

Game worked fine with 1.50 patch, played 2 to 3 full campaigns with no crashes.
I just installed the 1.60 and no matter which campaign i start the game works fine until the first naval phase is run.
The game freezes as soon as I click ok after first window pops up.

The only change in the preferences is setting the grafix to max size (probably has nothing to do with the problem)
I am running the game on high end Dell machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

2. Nothing helps? How long you wait? Try hitting LMB and return/escape keys few times.
2. Do you have latest DirectX and gfx drivers installed?

After game crash (before running ToW again) check ConsoleOut.txt (in ToWs main directory), couple last lines. Please paste them here.

1) it is every time and I just went in and tryed the short Polland scenario as germany pressed next turn
poland moved I saw the first naval battle results when I pressed end battle button lit up and froze

2)tryed all clasic button key board and mouse, nothing worked (ctrl/alt/del) showed app not responding

3) I updated before installing game a couple of weeks ago

Status: offline 		Can you send autosave folder to my mail ( bleck[at]wastelands-interactive[dot]com )? I'm not sure I can do anything with this since nobody had such problems with 1.60, but maybe I will find something.

I will try to reinstall and see if that solves the problem.

I uninstalled and re-installed vanila 1.0 and 1.6

Had the same problem with game but I always play the same scenarios with the same country so
I tried experimenting and I got very bizare results

Through one turn of play

1939 Germany - no problems with naval combat with the battles germany fought in or the other updates
1940 Germany - no problems with naval combat
1941 Germany - no problems with naval combat
but if I play Russia in the Barbarosa Scenario after Russia land phase hit end turn and the naval phase will freeze every time
1944 Germany - Game freezes in naval battle if I send subs out
Tutorial play Germany or Poland as soon as Naval results show game freezes

I don't know if this helps but it is bizare!

This can help, although your savegame is fine every time I check it.
Are those results of just one time trying, or you tried several times and every time it is exactly like you wrote?

Just in case you don't know what I'm talking about: http://techblissonline.com/set-processor-affinity-windows-vista-applications-process/

Status: offline 		My PC is a quad so I tried going down to 1 CPU it froze in 2 turns on the poland campaign,

When I tried leaving 2CPU's the game froze after 5 turns

But always during or at the end of the Naval Phase.


From what little I have seen 1.60 looks great/unfortunately unless you have any other long shots I will go back to 1.50

I assume you are playing in widows mode, if not it really helped me with a reduction in frequency of Naval Phase crashes.

In the grand campaign after late 1940 the crashes only happenned every 30 turns and after 1941 i think it only occured 1nce. But by that time I had destroyed most of the British fleet.

Hope you enjoy the game, I'm having a blast

I will try that Windowed Mode. Thank you.

As far you having a blast, yeah, I hopefully will be too. This looks super promising.

Thanks again, Balto.

Big thanks to the developers
