"Application Error" after updating GalCiv2 Dark Avatar to 1.50X.072

from GalCiv2 Forums
After updating to the newest patch availible, I started to play the game. Everything was fine until the game shutdown by itself giving the following error:

"The instruction at "0x008cc9a8" referenced memory at "0x0164dd40". The memory could not be "written."

I'm running Windows XP Professional on a AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, so sorry if it is the wrong place.

Any help appreciated.

And after loading AutoSave.sav (or your last saved game), does the problem recur?

Yes. Sometimes I can go on the game for about half hour before it crashes; othertimes I can only go on for 5 minutes before it crashes.

GalCiv11 Dark Avatar lock up on me. What do i do? I have vista I was told my system will have no problem running this game.

Please go to C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2 (or wherever you installed the game at), open the debug.err file you find there in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. If this is a DA report, you'll find the debug in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar instead. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

Steeltalon, Pihi:

You need to open the debug.err and copy it immediately after the game crashes--if you start the game again it will erase it and start a new one. Both of your debugs indicate that the game (GC2 I note, not DA which is what the OP posted about) was exited normally. All I can see from those non-crash debugs is that you both need to update your video drivers.
Reply #13 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Guys, DA generates it's own debug, separate from DL's. You were close; it is in the Dark Avatar folder.
Reply #14 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Okay Kryo, they are having the same memory write problem that I sent debugs to Cari for... her response was she couldn't figure out what was going on but it was in the 'bugtracker'. This has been a week. Obviously, it isn't my hardware or any of my settings, so WTF is going on? I would like some resolution on this. If you can't fix or find the problem, then how about setting my up with a CD or something?
Again, THESE ARE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING... surely someone is working on this, correct? I just want to play the game I paid for. I am done changing settings and opening up my computer when it is quite apparent that it is a software related issue, not a hardware one. I repeat, this is a SOFTWARE issue, not a hardware one. Please fix this guys, or get a CD in the mail to me, or something... okay.

Hey, look at that... it's been three hours now and still nothing. Go figure. I remember a reference that Brad made regarding new cars and the 'bugs' they have... and I agreed one hundred percent. The thing people missed was, that with your new car, if there's a problem... they fix it... FOR FREE... without you ever even having to pick up a wrench! Now how do you relate your two examples?
Reply #16 from GalCiv2 Forums Top

Evil Stormbringer, you make me not want to reply to anyone's e-mails if this is what I get for personally responding to your e-mails which you sent to me and kryo rather than just e-mailing gc2bugs which is the correct procedure to follow.

I would like to remind you that as humans, we can't be everywhere at once and responding to every post within 3 hours. 

I AM working on the issues that have been reported. 

Now if you'll excuse me, that's at least 10 minutes that I didn't spend working on an update or helping other customers.  And I'm not counting time lost to distraction at being angry over this.

Well sorry Cari, you know I am not purposefully trying to piss you off... how do you think I feel. First, I have emailed about four debugs to gc2bugs... and have gotten no response other than a ticket number, nothing was fixed or addressed. Second, I was originally 'told' by Kryo to email both himself and you regarding the ship launch problem... all I did was add the other CTD issue. So again, sorry to anger you but I am only doing what I was told. As far as my attitude, that should be expected at this point, but don't ever think that I am unappreciative towards you or Kryo, or that I am blaming any of you for this.
Finally, as a parts person for a dealership I do deal with the public quite a bit and learned long ago that despite the customer, you should still do all that you can to make sure you did your job to the best of your ability, again, regardless of the customer's attitude or problem. So I guess what I am saying is, I would like to play the game I bought. The company you work for sold me the game. So could I (as well as anyone else with this same issue or similar ones) get some customer service (something that seems to have died long ago with most companies)that will rectify the problem, eliminate the problem, and allow us to play the game. That is all that I am asking. When it works, I proudly proclaim that it does and that it is one of the best games today, but when it doesn't... what am I supposed to do? Take four years of college so that I can fix someone else's erroneous product?
Please, don't get mad... just fix the problem. Even with my debugs no one knows what to say and surely, as I've read today, I am not the only one with the same memory write issues. I'm done, make what you will of this and myself. If you have a fix, you know how to get in touch.

Never received what? I emailed everything I was able to pull with the debug so what am I missing. You said not to send the reports as they were useless to you, but you would forward them to the appropriate channels. That's what I was trying to do. Sorry if you got in trouble Kryo.
Oh, and since I haven't heard anything from gc2bugs, support, or anyone else within stardock regarding this, I was able to pull two ticket numbers from my old emails...
ticket 35165
ticket 35149
I am giving you these because for some reason, even though I DID do what is supposed to be the proper procedure, they should be more than enough proof to show Cari that I did in fact take the proper course of action, to no avail of course. So now, with these numbers in hand, can we take care of the issue, please.
Reply #20 from GalCiv2 Forums Top

What I am angry about is that you are going on to multiple threads just to rant, which bogs down the forums and is not helping your problem.  What made you decide that was a better course of action rather than sending in an e-mail and saying "Do you know anything else about these bugs yet?" This isn't the first time you've done this, or I'd cut you some slack.  My point is, ranting on the forums does not help you and it DOES piss me off.

The reason we have auto responses is so that the other developers and I don't have to personally respond to everything that is e-mailed in, which takes away time from actually working on the problem.  I told you that I would work on the issues in your e-mail and I even gave you information about your bugs because people usually appreciate that even if for no reason it shows that someone actually looked at their problem. 

You're angry because it's been a WEEK since you e-mailed in those bug reports.  I am working on your problems among others, but some things take time to FIND, let alone fix.   So just lay off the diatribes on the forums and save us all some time, ok?

These are the ones that you e-mailed directly to me while ccing gc2bugs, the ones that I told you that I would look into.

What on earth makes you so sure of this? If it is, as you say, a "software" problem - how does it work perfectly on some (most?) peoples PCs?

The most likely causes of a 'Memory can not be written' OS error are bad memory or a bad cluster on the hard drive where the pagefile is located. Even a very badly fragmented hard drive can cause the problem if the page file is "auto managed" by Windows.

In Steeltalon's case above, there is definitely something funny going on with memory - dxdiag is reporting:

Physical Memory: 2048MB RAM
Page File: 495MB used, 1398MB available

In dxdiag, the "Page File" entry is actually listing the combined total of physical RAM & page file size - in this case it is saying that the combined total (1893MB) is less than the actual physical RAM it has detected installed.

This could be explained if the PC is running multiple OS, or VMWare - but that seems unlikely.

The main reason I do not believe it's my hardware is I have run just about every diagnostics test I could download (using suggestions from here)and my debug lists things such as I quoted from you as being within the parameters that I have them set.

Okay, even though everything checks out okay on my PC, I am still upgrading the RAM, so that isn't part of this equasion. I've run scans on my hard drive that specifically looked for bad or erroneous clusters and come up with none. Now, aside from buying a new hard drive, what can be done about this 'if it is a problem'? The only reason I ask is because I'm willing to go on yet another wild goose chase, know what I mean?
