[[V22.3 Ground Combat] Consistent CTD on aliens turn]

@whitknight28 and Redmage

Are you using a Nvidia Gforce 600 or more graphic card right?

fx - 9370

280x

win 7

8gb ram

I could download this on my laptop which is running a 6370m( last supported drivers 2010ish) and see if it changes anything..but since users with intel hd graphics are having similar issues..I doubt much would change

Right, I've run these saves myself. I'm getting one AI hang from the first save posted, and three other save files are also crashing for me. I'll pass them along to the relevant coders, thanks all.

@whitknight - posting the save games rather than the log files is much more useful for us, as it lets us reproduce the crashes in the developer versions of the game (which give much more crash information than the public version).

@TacticalDragon - Unfortunately disabling DEP doesn't fix the actual cause of the problem. It may fix some of the symptoms of the bug, but it's more important we fix the cause (if we can).

Understood - not all saves had consistency though a reload from the autosave sometimes would fix the problem...perhaps the culprit script wasn't allowed to run because it died...or the situation changed..but I'm running the previous version now...which isn't quite as fun..but definitely doable.

Thanks for the quick response.

I've only had it happen once in the stable build..although now I get some kind of reaction fire loop that causes me to have to control/alt/delete to shut down the game.

[[v21 stable hf 20/03/2014] Game Crashes After Opening Soldier Equipment Screen]

I've installed the game on my laptop ( Core 2 Duo 2 T7300 2ghz, 2gb DDR 2 RAM, Intel 965 Express; a HP Compaq 6910p) and it ran just fine.

I played the game for about 6 hours straight, no issues. When I re-opened it and loaded my saved game, the program crashed every time I openned the equipment screen. To see if it wasn't a corrupted save file, I started another game and went straight to the equipment screen and it crashed too. I restarted the computer and tried again(with my save and a new game) for the same results.

I've even reinstalled the game and the same happens to both to my saves and to new games.

The weird is that during my 6h gameplay I reload with no issues more than a couple times.

The laptop uses Win 7 Ultimate 32bits (with latest updates). The game runs well with no loading delays.

My last save (The problem happens on all of then; I'm posting it more for formalities, the problem is not linked to save files...).

OBS: I saw a similar bug report( http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/9556-e22-2-GC-CTD-before-soldier-equipment-screen), but that post has much less information and its from another version, so I beliave that mine is also relevant.

OBS 2: The Equipament Screen loads and I can see my 1st soldier stats before the crash(it freezes as soon as it loads).

I've had this happen right after a workshop order is completed. I go to put the new equipment on my troops and it ctd's

CTD when Andron near the dump bin moves...

[ATTACH]3317[/ATTACH]

And If I kill that Andron from other save, then comes the next one who causes CTD in the same spot.

I reinstalled and stuck with v21 stable hf...still doing the same thing - terror missions and base assaults seem to be the biggest culprits for me anyway

[[V22.3 Ground Combat] Consistent CTD on aliens turn]

We'll test this save.

Alrighty - let me know how that goes.

[[V22.3 Ground Combat] Consistent CTD on aliens turn]

@whitknight28 - that save crashes for me as well

Thank you

This file has the crash but consistently - would someone else mind loading it up and seeing if it works for them?

Not security. It is component installation. Here is a link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387

You probably have it already but it is worth a shot.

Yeah I went ahead and manually redownloaded it anyway..still the same issues

Its the service pack from 2005.

Yeaaaa...well that's not going to happen

shouldn't it have installed with the game..?

Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242)

Did you all also install the C++ Service pack? For a crash that DEP didn't prevent, the service pack picked up the slack. Not saying TD's fix solves all crash problems, but its worth a shot.

Yeah the service pack automatically downloaded on the 25th of last month for me.

[[V22.3 Ground Combat] Consistent CTD on aliens turn]

I get this when trying to loot ammo off of a dead comrade in an alien base. This is repeatable through the save.

I had to edit this logfile to make it fit for the attachment..notes in the log file.

I moved the saved file location into the game folder...and that seemed to have worked...but It turned out to only be luck..and it ctd'd again during a terror event.

[v22b2 Psi attacks broken]

I've had this happen in the second room when assaulting alien bases as well...no aliens in the room and all doors closed.

Edit - this is on v22.3

[[V22.3 Ground Combat] Consistent CTD on aliens turn]

Disable DEP security is actually easy and explained.

I hope it help you to bypass this problems.

Edit - You're correct you did explain it. Anyhow this doesn't cure the problem.

Edit 2 - I did find this log file after the last play attempt today.

Hello,

I recommend you to search the post:

V22 experimental Build 2 Release,

I give some instructions to disable DEP and deal memory overflow like you describe.

You don't actually explain how to disable DEP in those posts..but I already know how to do it. Those that don't know - here's a link for windows 7

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings?SignedIn=1

Now - I do totally agree with you that it has to do with a memory overflow problem...similar to running games with a lot of mods. Hopefully - it's only an issue with exp bd 22.3.

[[V22.3 Ground Combat] Consistent CTD on aliens turn]

I'm getting this as well. I first thought it was only in the snowy/ice regions but now it happens even in the suburban area's. As it doesn't corrupt the save and I can reload and play through it again - usually without another crash I see no reason to upload the save file and my dxdiag exceeds the forum limit by 21kb's.
