CTD while saving ship design in 1.1 4B

First time for everything...

April 23, 2006 7:05:01 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Pretty much what the post title says. Was creating a cruiser to wipe out the Yor, went to save the design and got a CTD. Don't know if my lack of originality and saving the ship as "cruiser" would have caused a problem. It's the first crash I've experienced in the game, and given the fact that Zonealarm popped a message to me right after because Xfire wanted to report the crash I'm not sure what program caused it to go down. Wasn't using Xfire in-game, but who knows. And yes, I know my drivers are a touch out of date, I'm going to update 'em (and I've just downloaded smart exception).

Anywho, here's the debugg.err

Most likely the name "cruiser" was already in use - I've had similar CTD's after designing a ship and then picking some common-type name. I had thought Stardock fixed that in a earlier patch, but it just bit me as recently as beta 4A.

Yep, that was the problem. I didn't notice, but one of the core designs was named 'cruiser' and had become available. At least, I'm farily sure it was. Ashamed to admit I went back, crushed the Yor, won an alliance (only the humans were left) and then deleted my savegames without even thinking about it.

I have frequent CTD's when saving, obsoleting, or deleting designs, and they most certainly are named differently from in-game designs. I also have suffered other bugs like the mousepointer dissapearing, after a design save. In fact all the CTD's that I have suffered so far (quite a few) have been while working at the shipyard.

Best thing to do if you are experiencing repeatable crashes in the Beta is to load up SmartException, (download from SDC), run it before starting the game, and email any crash logs, instructions how to reproduce, and the save game file direct to Stardock support. I had a reproducable one in shipbuilder, and emailed it out this weekend - got a response they are looking into it this morning.
