Status: offline 		I have also had these. Intermittant crashes to windows with a 'report error' box opening. Perhaps we should start listing our systems etc. Can this crash data be captured and reported?

My system

Windows xp
Pentium D 3.4 GHz
4 GB DDR2 800MHz
SATA II HD
9400GT 1 GB vid card

All the drivers are the latest. Demo ran fine but I didn't play the demo that much.

It would be good to know the scenarios to see if the crashes are scenario specific. there may be some indication in the logfile that might shed some light. We tried to find and squelsh as many of these as we could

Thanks
Rick

Do you think this could be the issue?? Hopefully is just a glitch and wont happen again. Not sure if you want the logfile....could email it to you if you like.

Is it a Random Battle on that Map? If so can you send me the game file. The scenario file that your'e playing.

Thanks
Rick

Status: offline 		Do you get these in processing or in pathing? I think the only time I have gotten CTD is when I path a platoon and the game just locks and CTD. That might be it trying to move the entire platoon's units in a too complicated or long path or move more than one unit to the same spot. I haven't been able to ever get it to repeat from a save.

This is on a regular set battle map. Not a random map.
Rick I sent you an email with the log file. If there is a different one you need just let me know, and where it can be found.

The log file you sent had a lot of errors related to loading units. That's why I was asking about which scenario, so that I could check the units in that scenario.

I checked the Scenario file and did not find any problem with the scenario data, but the log file you sent me definitely indicated some data errors.

Thanks

Perhaps, I really don't know. I think the errors I saw in the log should have actually stopped the game from even starting the scenario.

Thanks

there is a log file that can be found in the log folder. That file might contain an indication of what caused the problem (not always, but sometimes).

Status: offline 		Hmm, I've been getting crashes now since the most recent patch -- solid as a rock before. CTD's with the Window's 'the application has stopped working' message (...I love that Windows asks if I would like for it to look for a solution. Why yes, that would be splendid. It might as well ask me if I'd like a highball of single malt scotch. I'd like both, and have about as much confidence that Windows could do either.)

As I was saying --

Playing the Kursk South (North?) campaign -- the Prokhorovka battle. Seems to CTD during the "Simulating Turn" phase. Not every turn, but now about 12 turns in, and it's happened now 3 times.

My specs, for the record:

Sager NP8120 laptop
Intel Quad-core i7 820QM
Nvidia SLI GTX 285M's
4 GB 1333MHz dual-channel RAM
Windows 7 x64

Sandman,

Do you have any mods installed? Also, can you check your log file after it crashes and maybe post it or attach it to a post here?

Thanks

I would suggest deactivating the increased unit mod and see if that helps. The log references pathfinding, but I don't think pathfinding has been touched in quite a while.
