Crash Bug

Saber Cherry · #1 October 21st, 2007, 01:39 AM

For the second 1.58 game in a row, after about 80 or so turns, I click on the "planets" view and get an access error and crash to desktop. The prior turn can be loaded, and is fine; but the subsequent turn and thereafter, "planets" is no longer usable, due to the crash bug. It never happened in 1.44. BTW, I am using a custom mod, though I can't imagine how that might cause this scenario.

Has this happened to anyone else, and has it been reported to MM?

Could there be a bad planet picture in the mod? Photoshop puts garbage at the beginning of picture files that SE5 has trouble with.

I am getting a End of Turn processing permanent freeze with BM1.10&1.58... seems to occur when I leave ships in a certain enemy's space when the turn processed. I suspect an AI fault.

In a multi player game with version 1.58 I have had the game freeze up at the end of the turn processing. It seemed to happen on a turn in which I had troops attack a planet. When I would replay the same turn with the troops moved away from the planet the turn would process correctly and complete. I decided that it was just easer to "Glass the suckers." and recolonize the planet.

Have that as well, using Kwoks Balance 1.10. Showed up after a minor nation surrendered to me and gave me Gas Colonizing Tech additionally to my Ice Colonizing.
Haven't reported it up to now, though.

The thing about unreported bugs is they tend to be a bit harder to fix.

He didn't want me as beta tester .. therefore I'm entitled to complain, but not to report

Well, only you can determine whether or not you're entitled to report bugs.

Thinking 'bout it, the error must have started occuring around turn 80 for me as well.
Strangely, now, at turn 95, it went away again ?

Interestingly, in my last game, after some number of turns, I started getting a crash when I tried to use the ground combat simulator. Space combat simulator was fine, though. Probably the same bug.
