Category: None Group: v0.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Game Suddenly Closes in Windows Initial Comment: Actually it's in v0.31; I've had problems with this bug since v0.2 when I first found this project, and it's gotten better, but the game still closes down suddenly for no reason in Windows XP. It's driving me nuttier now, I think, because I get further in the game. I have yet to meet an AI, lol. Thanks guys, The Commentator ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The_Commentator (the_commentator) Date: 2005-12-24 19:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1412074 Lol, I guess I should've been more specific. Okay: 1. The game completely disappears--first the game itself, then the background DOS window. 2. Do you mean "does it crash around the same turn after you load an autosave", then no. I've managed to get up to Turn 45 when the last crash occured and I have been relying on saves and autosaves to put me nearly back to where I started. Usually after which I can continue on for a time. Could it be time based? It MIGHT BE! It seems to be somewhat variable, but I'd say every 20 minutes or so. It happened a lot more frequently in v. 0.2 [shorter interval?]. 3. The crash does not result from any action [so far] that I've done. I haven't built any Mark ships yet, I'm sticking to colony and scout till I discover another empire. 4. Usually happens right after it changes over to the next turn...it seems to be done, I'm just about to make my next fleet movement or check on a building status (haven't had time to click anything yet) and all of a sudden the game window disappears--leaving me with a condition known only as "Sudden Deprival of Strategy Game Syndrome" or SDSGS. :D --The_Commentator ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Geoff Topping (geoffthemedio) Date: 2005-12-24 18:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=913462 Is there an error message when this happens, either in-game or from Windows? Does the game just crash completely and disappear, or does the game you're currently playing end and you're booted back to the title/splash screen? Can you reproduce the crashes by reloading autosaves from recent turns? (make sure autosave is on in the options). Does the crash happen consistently after a certain number of turns, or perhaps after doing something in particular in the game (always after exploring a new system, researching / building something, getting enough RP or PP to start something new on their respective queues, colonizing, splitting a fleet / merging a fleet, building a new ship / fleet)? Does the crash happening suddenly during your turn, or while the server is processing a turn? If during your turn, is it spontaneous, or always after you click on something or open a particular screen? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=544942&aid=1389636&group_id=75752 |
