ebrig78 -> Game crashing to windows (8/17/2009 5:00:23 AM)

i am playing the grand campaign in AE and on Feb 2nd the game crashed to windows once the turn plays through. I have tried to rund 2 day turns and tried to restart from a few days back and the game always crashes on Feb 2nd. Not sure what to do here.

Please attach a save so we can check it out.

zip it first.



ebrig78 -> RE: Game crashing to windows (8/17/2009 3:15:32 PM)

file attached.

Thanks in advance



BigJ62 -> RE: Game crashing to windows (8/17/2009 8:10:29 PM)

Been running your turn and it will not crash for me so can you tell me when exactly it crashes, at what point during turn execution, what is the last message you see displayed in the message box? Also which side are you playing and have you been switching sides?



ebrig78 -> RE: Game crashing to windows (8/17/2009 9:03:28 PM)

I am playing as the allies and have not switched sides at all. It always crashes at teh very end of the turn after all teh combat has been played

I have problems playing the Japanese, between turns 41/12/8 and 41/12/16. Game regularly (every 2 hrs or so) minimizes itself; have to click the icon in the taskbar to restore the game. Then it will randomly (apparently) just crash, asking me to send a report to MS. I have attached a copy of the most recent report that was to be sent to MS. I didn't send the report because I know MS would offer no help.

It's a 19K text file.

Peace,
Doc Smith

im getting a Crash To desktop, but Ive added some ships via the editor so wondering if that could effect it? ive played one game to feb 42 with no problems, then started afresh and can't get passed 1st jan 42 without a CTD?
any help as im loathed to start a fresh :-(
ive tried on too pc's same...



BigJ62 -> RE: Game crashing to windows (8/18/2009 9:41:23 PM)

Doc and Samro zip the save file and post it. Doc do you have screen saver enabled or some other background apps running (AV, e-mail…). Before game crashes what is total peak memory usage for game and free memory on box.

Because your save runs fine on my box I’m going to try and guess what might be wrong so ebrig78 I need to know what the last printed message is in the box is. Does the same thing happen in window mode and full screen?

Also everyone post your dxdiag file.

BigJ62 -> RE: Game crashing to windows (8/19/2009 3:44:02 PM)

Samro11 I found your naval issue and sent description and save to Don and Joe C, hopefully for a fix to be included for patch 1.
Thanks

Actually it was. The problem was caused by use of the Off Map Turnaround.

This is a very nasty and very difficult issue in off map movement and is not yet solved.



Samro11 -> RE: Game crashing to windows (8/19/2009 8:45:05 PM)

opps...
is ther anyway I can "fix" the game aka undo what it is I have done? so as to beable to carry on playing?
