Glabro Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi, I just had an....interesting experience, when right at the end of an excellent turn while saving, the game crashes with an error message. Any idea what might cause this to prevent it from happening EVER again? Now I will have to replay the turn n times for hours to get the same breakthroughs I got at the end, and with the foreknowledge of enemy deployments affecting my decisions. It's quite, quite annoying in PBEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlape3 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 You need to provide the details of which error was generated and what your operating system/system configuration is. You can find the error information under the ERROR directory directly under the main game directory (\Program Files\Battlefront\Strategic Command WWI The Great War 1914-1918\ERROR).

Glabro Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Ah, sorry. I'm running Windows 7. Here's the report: [08/20/2011 1:32:07; 6.1.7600; 1680x1050x32(1); v1.02] DIRECTX FAILED(draw_map_to_screen): dderr_generic [08/21/2011 11:40:55; 6.1.7600; 1680x1050x32(1); v1.02] DIRECTX FAILED(draw_map_to_screen): dderr_generic [08/29/2011 4:40:06; 6.1.7600; 1680x1050x32(1); v1.02] FAILED(make): 0x80004001 Not implemented So it looks like it's some sort of a java graphics error. I'm running a middle of the line ATI GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlape3 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I've seen something like this in the SCGC game. Are you using a mod or playing one of the included scenarios? Which patch level are you at? I had been running Win 7 64 bit with a comparable NVIDIA card and the error was not always repeatable so it may not be your graphics card. You could try reinstalling directX or even the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glabro Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hmmm...well, it was a one-off, so probably a freak accident. I'm running a normalized build Call to Arms with 1.02. Well, will just have to bear with the losses incurred from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glabro Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 The problem keeps recurring, and it seems it happens only when I get really many completions / breakthroughs in research - like 3 at once. Or then it's my luck again! Maybe it's just my PC though, just thought I'd throw it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hi Glabro, Sorry to hear about the trouble and it sounds unfortunately like an Operating System error of some sort. If you find however that it is repeatable, i.e. it happens every time with a particular turn, please don't hesitate to send it to me at support@furysoftware.com Thanks, Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
