Title: Game crashes to desktop when uploading saved game in Eastern Front v. 1.6
Post by: sniperace888 on February 09, 2012, 06:33:37 AM: Hi,

I downloaded the EF v1.6 and the game crashes to desktop when loading a saved game. It never did that with v. 1.5. What could be causing this ?

Please help.
Thanks.

These files should suffice:

warnings.log
Located on My Games\Company of Heroes\. For any Eastern Front related errors.

scarlog.####.####.txt
Located on My Games\Company of Heroes\LogFiles. For SCAR related errors. Replace the "#" for the current date and time.

ailog.####.####.txt

somefile.dmp
Only for game crashes.
Located on:
WinXP -> C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp(you can access faster if you use the run box with %temp% command).

Win Vista & 7 -> C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp(you can access faster if you use the run box with %temp% command).

Or in weird cases, sometimes in C:\WINDOWS\Temp (you can access faster if you use the run box with temp command).

The dmp file has a generic name but you should be able to identify it by checking the date of creation.

Hi there,

Post by: sniperace888 on March 12, 2012, 06:37:46 PM: Does that mean I can re-download 1.6 now or do I have to wait for an updated version?

Thanks. :D

Adding a requirement_action which needs a required_critical inside a critical makes the trick :P.

I'd like to point out that the savegames themselves are broken and even with the patch you will not be able to load those broken savegames. However, any new savegame you create will work just fine.

Post by: Otto Halfhand on March 31, 2012, 12:54:42 AM: I have had the saved game CTD problem as well. I also find I have a CTD problem when I abort a game or complete a game. This does not always happen but usually occurs. If this condition is related to the one thats been solved great! If not I can grab thr files from my next crash report.
