Archibald Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Since installing patch 1.02 the game crashes whenever I try to save it. Each time a DOS window flashes up and then the program shuts down completely. Particularly galling was the fact that it also crashed at the end of September 1945 as my invasion of the USA was preparing. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or is it specific to my machine? I have a Compaq Armada 550mhz laptop with an AMD K6-2 cpu. The game worked fine before I installed the patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I recieved another report on this problem as well. Can you browse to the installation folder and list out the most recent contents of the file 'exception_trace.log' Thanks, Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 Blimey that was quick! The most recent message relates to the game crashing in the course of a move: Class/Object: Game Application (01BF59C8) Routine: root's creation Nature of Exception: Segmentation violation: Operating system signal. Effect: Exit Class/Object: Game Application (01BF59C8) Routine: root's creation Nature of Exception: Routine failure. Effect: Exit The log for when the game persistently crashed on saving was as follows: Class/Object: Game Application (01BF59C8) Routine: root's creation Nature of Exception: SAVE GAME: Retrieval error.

Hubert Cater Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 OK for the error that occured during your move, send me the 'autosave.sav' file for the last known good turn and give me a full description on how to reproduce the error, well as close as possible. For the second error, the save game file error, looks like there is a problem with the contents of your save folder, please try deleting all files in the folder SAVE and PBEM and then try it again and let me know if you still have the same problem. The reason for this is that the previous save game files 'pre-patch' are not compatible with v1.02. Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSpore Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 I'm crashing too when trying to delete a saved game. All saved games on my system were saved after installing the patch. Error I'm getting in a DOS box is: "SC:EXE.Panic: Caught signal #11 (Segmentation Violation)--Giving up....." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
