Jim D Burns -> New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 1:52:30 AM)
Well I downloaded the latest patch today and have tried to play two different games which both caused CTD after playing for a while. The first game I no longer have saved, but I have the second saved and am unable to advance to the next turn without a CTD near the end of turn resolution every time I end turn. Let me know who to send the save files to. Jim P.S. I did a completely new install today and then patched up with the new patch.

Actually, they typically ask that you zip up the save files and then attach it to a message here. If you use the "post reply" button and not just the quick reply box at the bottom, you'll see a "Click here to upload" comment right below the text box. Use that to attach the file.

I have also had the same CTD problem with two games in a row. Sigh You've got to be kidding me...anyone else (besides JD Burns and I)? Edit: If relevent - running a game saved from 1.2.18 beta patch. It was my understanding that the patches were compatible, but will test a new game as well.

They only support Gif/Txt/Jpeg files, I can't upload the zip.

Jim Yes it seems so...I tried playing the 1805, 1796, and 1820 campaigns, as different Nations (France, Prussia, Russia, Sweden), and each time I reached the first April month, the game crashed. Needless to say, Eric and Co, please investigate ASAP.

Only just started this game and only done 1 turn - however on exit i just get a back screen and can't access windows at all so i have to press the reset button - its done this all 3 games i started when i tried to exit

Centio -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 4:01:29 PM)
I'm experiencing the same crash in april 1792...

Erik Rutins -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 4:34:23 PM)
I just added zip upload support to this forum. We'll try to duplicate this ASAP. In the meantime, please upload your save files here as it will help us to see what's going on in each of your cases. Regards, - Erik

ericbabe -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 4:42:50 PM)
I'm looking into this right now. It could be something related to the April levee as I did change that code a little bit for 1.2.25.

quote: ORIGINAL: Jim D Burns Here you go: Jim I'm having problems unzipping the files. PkUnzip and the zip built into Windows both say "unknown compression method." Did you compress these with the zip built into XP? If not, maybe you could try that. I just played as Sweden in the 1792 campaign and in my game I did not get a CTD by May of 1793, so a save game with a repeatable CTD would be very helpful.

It's probably related to the change I made to the DirectX code. Are you running the most recent version of DirectX?

I created a new zip using normal compression, the default compression setting was not set to normal sorry about that. If this doesn't work, send me your email and I'll email the files direct to you. Send them to jamesburns@SPAMGUARDcharter.net (remove SPAMGUARD). Try this: Jim P.S. checked dxdiag and my dirextX version is 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904).

Hard Sarge -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 5:54:40 PM)
is everybody sure the patch is going where they think it is ? I do not think so, my tests show I was still running a beta patch after installing the new release patch

I do not think so, my tests show I was still running a beta patch after installing the new release patch Yep, first thing I checked. My game shows 1.2.25 on the load screen. If it's any help, my system is an Intel P4 2.53 GHz, NVIDIA 7800 GS 256MB video card, SoundBlaster audigy 4 sound card. I'm running WinXP Pro and full Norton antivirus and firewalls. I've never had this game crash before until installing this patch. Jim

ericbabe -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 6:15:43 PM)
Zip file worked. Thanks! I will look at this right now.

Hard Sarge -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 6:17:17 PM)
I just ran a test, I was able to get to june 1806 with out a crash

Hard Sarge -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 6:30:05 PM)
Guys, I have been playing with the installer, it does not seem to be installing the patch try to install the patch again, when it get to the place to put it (C:Matrixgames\CrownofGlory) add \patch then it will install it to a new folder named patch, then open the folder, copy the inside and paste it in the correct folder, and it should be good to go I had to do this to my Gold Copy and my beta copy

ericbabe -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 6:35:07 PM)
Thanks again Jim for the save game. I was able to reproduce the crash with it under the debugger. It does seem to be a problem related to the April levee: the actual crash was caused by the game trying to build a unit of type zero and I may have found something in the new levee code that can, under the right circumstances, issue an order to build a zero-unit. I've fixed the thing that was capable of causing the bad order and hopefully have made it so that bad orders (if they do get issued somehow) will simply cause nothing to happen. Once I get everything rebuilt I'll upload the new build to the COG beta testers. If you'd like, I'll e-mail you a copy as well. If everything checks out OK, maybe we can have a new official patch by early next week.

Eric, Just got back to the forum (actually, just woke up out here in sunny AZ). Unless you say otherwise I'll assume you do not need another set of saved files with this bug. Glad to hear you have a finger on the problem.

Russian Guard -> RE: New patch CTD - repeatable (8/5/2006 7:52:43 PM)
Sarge, I had no problem installing the new patch. It saved where expected and I verified that I am playing the new version, 1.2.25...
