Random Crashes on turn button

April 18, 2006 11:32 AM from

Hi,

Once ive got fairly late into a game it will begin to crash randomly when I press turn. It is completely random,
sometimes if I re-load a save game it will crash at the same point, or a few more turn button presses later.
Any ideas?

You are at least one Beta version behind. The most recent was released last night (April 19). Try running the Stardock Smart Exception program found in the free section of Stardock Central while playing. It can tell the programmers what lines of code are crashing for you.

Like CTB124 said, please try the newest beta 4a, and if you don't mind running SmartException that would provide us with the information we need to quickly find the cause of the crash, if it does continue to happen in the newest beta. Thank you.

I've also tried it in windowed mode, still crashes quite happily

And this is with the new beta, ive been through quite alot of versions and its kept crashing on each one.

Thanks

This has been happening to me as well... and I'm up to date on my beta releases. It seems to always happen late into a game and doesn't seem to be dependent on the size of the galaxy. I press "Turn" and the screen just goes black... minute later it crashes.

This also sometimes happens when the game Autosaves.

yeah that sounds alot like my problem.
I havent noticed it happen with autosave but I may just not have noticed and yes it always happens late in game with me too.

Hi
Did you email the smartexception and zipped saved game to Stardock or just post here? You'll get a better response if you email. Things to try, that helped me, were increasing pagefile above 2gig, turn off antialiasing and use hardware cursor. Also your sound driver is fairly old and might help if updated.

Hi,

its still crashing constantly at the same point.
Where should I email it to?

The email is [email protected]. The smartexception program sortof walks you through it. Any saved games should be zipped before sending.

Drainy, did you update to final version 1.1?
If not, please try that and see if it still crashes at that point.
