CTD when upgrading freighter as Yor

Beta 2a

from GalCiv2 Forums
The first time i wanted to upgrade the standard freigther design to use better engines i saw that there were two components with no icon. i removed them and saw that one of the two freighter modules was gone. probably the one which was only eye candy, even though i wanted the game to only show functional components.
went back to the design list use the original design again. pressed upgrade and the game crashed.
started smart exception and reloaded the game.
tried upgrading the freighter again and the game immediatly crashed. but smart exception did not trigger.

Same problem here. Playing Yor in an immense galaxy and have my game crashing every time I try to upgrade the freighter in the shipyard. Can somebody tell which files generated by SmartException to forward to [email protected]?

Please install 'SmartException' from the free stuff section in Stardock Central. Make sure that SE is running and start your game as normal. If the game crashes it will generate an exception report that can be emailed to [email protected].

Include in/attached to the email:
+ A description of what you were doing at the time.
+ How to reproduce the crash (if possible).
+ A zipped save (if applicable).
+ The appropriate debug.err file.

The devs cannot help if you do not provide these details!

As i had already mentioned in my original post, smart exception WAS RUNNING. but it didnt do anything.

Also i got the same crash when i tried to upgrade the standard transporter (once).

I will send an email with a savegame.

Ah sorry, too many posts to read. But yeah, if you can at least get a save that should help.

oh my fault, smart exception did record the crash but it gave not message about it. trying to email now...

Kryo, I was asking earlier exactly WHICH files from the SmartException folder to send to Stardock, cause although I have that program running, it never creates a report of any sort in case the game crashes. Do you guys need those .CRA and .DMP-files that are in the SE-folder? If yes, I pack them in an archieve along with the debug.err and a savegame next time and forward the package to Cari.

The CRA file is the most important (make sure it's the correct one dated to the crash you're reporting, if you're getting them manually), though it can't hurt to send the dump as well.

there should be an icon on the right bottom for smart exception (in windows). right click on it and then select "configure"
it lists all recorded exceptions. select the one you want to email and click on email exception. enter a description and click on generate. it will open the explorer where a "exceptionlog.zip" file should be with the cra and dmp files in it.

Thx, will try that next time.

The same thing was happening to me and i updated GalCiv2 DL and DA and they stopped.

This happened to me twice, once for a freighter and once for a colony ship. I grabbed the smart exception logs and sent them off. I think I accidentally sent them to [email protected] (since that is the email address that Smart Exception suggests). Do you want me to resend them to the other address?

Update: it just happened to me again playing "Rock and a Hard Place" as the humans. It consistently crashes every time I try to upgrade the default colony ship. I sent in the save, debug and the SmartException.

No, support can forward them on.
