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


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Its the service pack from 2005.

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

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

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

I did what you said, so does whitknight (reading what he said) and still CTD on certain situations when suppressed alien tries to shoot soldiers.

I'm well aware of your professionalism, but in this case I would rather a dev to say if something is wrong. Please don't feel offended.

Are you running the game with Win 7 or 8 in 64bits enviroment? You need to be carefull installing the right Microsoft C++ 2005 (x86) and run as administrator.

The memory overflow even if you have 16RAM is caused by some miscalculation, for example divide a number by 0, the system block any process that lead to infinite or mistake like this.
