Default Re: Appcrash

This is SPWW2 - absolutely nothing to do with SPWAW.

Crash dump information is meaningless numbers output by Microsoft. It does however tell us what executable crashed - WinSPWW2, not SPWAW, so you are in the right forum.

Restart the game and go to your last saved turn of the campaign and attempt to continue. If it continues fine then the problem was something weird.

Usual culprit would be a disk error - so try running the Microsoft disk check utility and repair any lost clusters etc. You may want to run it overnight if you do the disk surface test as that takes ages. Then load your last save and proceed onwards and see if it goes OK this time.

(The other usual culprit is non-USA ASCII text in text fields or files. If this is a user campaign, it may be trying to load descriptive text with Spanish (or whatever) foreign code pages. Same goes if you edited the leader names with foreign text or loaded a modified OOB where someone put foreign characters in like umlauts.). If you have played about with renaming units in game, and have a non UK/USA/CDN keyboard or have loaded custom files recently - look at these.

If it keeps crashing - Zip up the save game files for that last save game and post here.
