Unhandled exception error - 10/9/2013 6:54:58 PM

Status: offline 		I'm running Shadows, the current version, and occasionally (after maybe an hour of play) I get an Unhandled Exception error when trying to open the Ships and Bases screen. Once it happens, I can't get back into that screen (error keeps returning), but the rest of the game seems to be ok. The problem persists across saves: if I save the game after getting the error, then quit and reload the game, the error is still there. But if I open a saved game from before the error, it's fine.

Edit: Just now loaded a good saved game, played for 5 minutes, then got the error. So it's not dependent on how long the game's been running.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Status: offline 		What size map and how many stars? As your on XP (as I am) I would suggest a 10x10 map with 700 stars to avoid this issue, if your already playing on this size or smaller then ignore my innate ramblings.

If the problem reoccurs reliably shortly after you load said save, you should upload that to Matrix' ftp server for further inspection, see: Where to upload save files. According to the stack trace, an OS- or system-dependent issue seems unlikely.

An interesting question would be whether you use any mods? Also: what is at the top of or visible in your ships and bases list when you open it before the crash?

You could, after the crash happened, try to scroll through your Spaceports, Constructor ships and planets to see whether you can find the specific culprit. Use the buttons besides the bottom left info pane of the game screen. This information would be valuable, so whoever is analyzing DW save games doesn't need to find that needle in the haystack. My reasoning for looking through Spaceports, Constructors and planets is the top line in the stack trace you posted. This looks like something with docking bays is causing the error.

Status: offline 		Darkspire - I'm running Win 7 and the game is a 10x10 700 star setup.

sbach2o - I wasn't aware I could upload saved files for inspection, thanks for the suggestion. As for the rest, I'll see what I can find. You may be right that it's a construction/bay issue: the last time it happened I had just started building new units based on an advisor suggestion. The only mods I'm using are graphical mods (bits of GEM, like the cursors and landscapes and ruins).

Status: offline 		Hi kmunoz

From your savegame it looks like you are running some kind of mod - maybe your base game installation was modified? Looks like there are extra races and ship images in the game.

Of course this will cause crashes if these other images are not present in the installation. I think this is what you are seeing with this error.

So be sure to have the same installed environment when loading a savegame as when you started the game. Changing the default installation is not recommended because these errors can occur when you reinstall, etc. You should instead put any modifications in a proper theme.

Thanks
Elliot
