frankh Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I've been running the game without much trouble - only one crash, I think, for about two days. Then suddenly today, the game started crashing constantly. I'm in a ground mission, and I'm able to do one or two turns, and then it crashes. This is consistant, it seems. Is there any kind of dump or other debug information I can get, and pass on? Since it's a "stable" version, I'd guess that constant crashing is a less known problem?

frankh Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) And just now I loaded a save game to skip the combat mission, and after a while entered a new one. The crashes continue, it seems that it's not possible to play the tactical missions at all. Strange that this suddenly occurs.

MrPyro Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 What are the symptoms of your crash? Is it actually exiting the game and dumping to desktop, or is it just freezing when running the alien turn? I assume from your first comment that you're on v20 Stable.

frankh Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm on v20 stable, yes. It just terminates and dumps to the desktop. With a generic windows message about the program crashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msvknight Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 why don't you put a report in the bugs section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankh Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sure. But without more information that it just suddenly started crashing when entering tactical missions, there's not much value in the submmission is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Any additional information you might be able to give about the crash might help. A few questions off the top of my head: Has any new research been completed prior to the start of the crash? Had you equipped any new gear recently? Does the game crash when you move any particular soldier? Is a vehicle involved? Does it crash during your turn or the alien turn? Are there any audio clues like a grenade explosion or vehicle movement sounds right before the crash? What kind of mission is it (crash, terror etc)? What tileset is the mission on? Have you played successful missions on that same tileset previously? Does a different tileset still have the same crash? What enemies are you fighting? Have you fought them before without the crash? Do different enemies cause the same crash? Have you tried validating your files through steam in case of corruption? Have you tried starting a new game completely to see if the crash persists?

Chris Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sounds peculiar. Out of interest, does it affect new games you start too, or have you just hit a brick wall in that specific game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankh Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'll try and delve into this tonight, and I'll update here and post a bug when I have enough relevant info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just keep this thread updated for now, I will move it to the bug forum if it turns into a full report. Saves multiple threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
