andysomers -> Crash (12/1/2006 6:53:28 PM)
The game crashed for me this morning when I hit the Windows key. I received an e-mail, went to look at it, when I clicked back on the FOF application, while still in the inroductory screen (with the quote, music, and the guy hollering the Load in 9 times commands), there was a note from the awful looking US artillery?/infantry? man saying that Kentucky had joined the Union. No games were open, I had just started the program. The game crashed just after. Hope that makes sense, I'll check back to give more details/answer questions if desired. Thanks! AS

I don't know about the crash, but as a long time Windows gamer one of the first things I found I need to do was disable the Windows key so it wouldn't bust me out of games. The link below is one of many that provide this option: http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/disable_windows_key/

I am finding the game unstable when started from "quick start" but much more table when booted from the main menu. AS

My crashes have happened after playing about 2 hours. Don't remember what I was doing for the first one. The second crash happened when the map was in the east and the message "CSA has captured Frankfort" appeared. Nothing happened until I clicked and got the message about the program needing to shut down.

Twotribes -> RE: Crash (12/2/2006 5:02:04 AM)
Another thread mentioned there is some kind of crash associated with winning sieges.

MorningDew -> RE: Crash (12/2/2006 6:48:05 AM)
I just crashed after a successful seige.

You know, I'm starting to think that I should just put a positive spin on this an announce that having a siege-related crash is a rite of passage...

wzh55 -> RE: Crash (12/2/2006 7:56:30 AM)
I have yet to finish a game because of the siege related crash syndrome. Pretty frustrating. Any chance of a quick fix or pactch???? Please help. Otherwise, great game, been waiting for a good Civil War all-encompassing game for a long time.[sm=sad-1361.gif]

Otherwise, great game, been waiting for a good Civil War all-encompassing game for a long time.[sm=sad-1361.gif] Eric is working on it. This is a high enough priority that when it's fixed we'd get it out ASAP, rather than waiting a few weeks to bundle it together with generals' bios or something.

Great, I knew I could count on you guys. You always support your games great. Does Michael Wood still work with Matrix? I met him when I used to creat scenarios for the original Steel Panthers for NovaStar Games.

Sonny -> RE: Crash (12/2/2006 6:14:09 PM)
Got another one today. It seems like the message for the successful siege comes on the turn after the area has been taken - followed by the game freezing for a second or two and then the windows system tells us that FoF is having troubles and must close.

ericbabe -> RE: Crash (12/2/2006 9:46:43 PM)
Crash is related to sieges. I seem to have fixed it. I want to work on the scroll locking problem -- may have a lead there. Hopefully we'll get a patch out soon.

Great_Ajax -> RE: Crash (12/2/2006 11:44:51 PM)
Thats awesome. Bug is crippling my ability to play and I have decided to stop until a patch comes out. I had two union armies trapped and destroyed in Kentucky and then after I successfully finished the sieges against Frankfort and Lexington in Winter '62-'63, it crashes everytime. Trey

I assume you've told Microsoft about this problem [:)]

wzh55 -> RE: Crash (12/3/2006 8:52:13 AM)
It seems I solved the siege crash at least temporarily. I now save the game before each turn. I had a city under siege with two "armies". and I took the city. The game said I took the city two times (I assume for each army) and of course, the crash. After my restart of saved gane, I took one of the armies out of the siege, I took the city, and NO CRASH. Amazing. I am still playing the same game several turns later with no ill effects. Still waiting on the fix, though.[:D]

Funny, but I crash when it is July 62. Got to get passed that month.

Great_Ajax -> RE: Crash (12/3/2006 6:55:43 PM)
I tried doing that to no avail. I have sieging containers with no units in them and even if I move the units out of the territory, it still crashes.
