"Nagot gik fel"

[Saxon]

I think it is a generic error message. I got one when my machine ran out of memory, but it was due to other programs, not Dom. Also, it was a message that came up in Dom II on occasion and one fairly prolific poster used it as his posting name!

I have this sometime to, since v3.04.

And some other things :
-game hang in turn resolution (I have to kill the process, at least when I can return to the Windows desktop which is not all times ... else reboot computer ...)
-another message like 'smpr to long for this file' or something like that (I'll note it the next time)
-hang up in batlle view with strange graphics bugs (spells effects graphics again and again ...) the crash game or total hang up. If I quit the battle before that, It is ok, but if I review another battle, it's the same, wether in this turn or another

Others, that might not be bugs :
-very very very slow battles review (even with fast forward activited) especially when resolving mages actions (say : at least 3 to 4 seconds to the mage to act ... when you have a battle with 10 mages, it's really nasty), usually with grassy (and gently moving) terrain ... CPU overload ?
-100% CPU load when I ALT-TAB to Windows ... Dominions 3 take almost all the CPU time and memory is mostly full.

Often, when I can detect things (especially 'the battle graphic bug') and quit the game (I mean exit the current game AND Dominions 3) and relaunch it, everything's all right.
So I am sure that a saved game send to IllWinter won't help. I am pretty sure that it is some kind of memory bug (or perhaps drivers bug).
I will look at some system messages or DrWatson report, but I'm not sure something significant is logged.

I have not try to reinstall at this time.
I have installed the game, then patched it in 3.01, then in 3.04.
I run on a Windows XP computer, SP2, Athlon 64, 1Go RAM, no Internet connexion (so less susceptible - but not totally safe - to virus or worms or trojan or other very nasty things).

It just annoying, but not dramatic, because it's not all the time. Generally, it happens after 1 hour of game, and since it does not corrupt the game itself, I'm going with that. But it still very strange ...

See also this thread.

The common answer from Johan K is that it is a bad CD-Key.
I don't undestand why, or what the relation might be, but he's a professionnal, so, I believe him. I'll will try to reinstall the game (well, after the festive season).

See you in 2007 !

Happy new year for everybody all around the world.

The game used to hang without any message when I used it in my previous computer, P3 700 mhz, 256 mb ram. 32mb video.
It was when the game was about 20 turns, but instead of hanging during host (never happened) it was always in the main map. From that point over it was real often. And had to reboot because of the total freeze.
In my new computer didn´t play much but I expect to loose those crashes. But what´s weird is that hosting is not a lot faster than in the old comp, maybe equal.
My new one is an amd 3000 with 512 ram and 512 video. I can play bf2 and pes6 in full resolution with no slowdown.

QXel: I have a similar system and am experiencing exactly the same problems that you mentioned.

Has Illwinter already made black t-shirts with 'Något gick fel!'-logo? I'd buy a dozen of em.

[HoneyBadger]

I would too, I'd hand them out for Christmas, or even Halloween. It'd be fun just to imagine all the curiosity and inevitable questions and confusion, bewilderment and mass hysteria, which ofcourse would lead to society breaking down, people running amok in the streets, and the eventual collapse of modern Civilization. Något gick fel you say? oh yes! Något gick fel, indeed!

The best part about the end of the world? we could blame it on the Swedes.

I will see if I can get some done. Both Illwinter and Shrapnel have to agree.
