[1.31] If your game crashes - Post here

[Blackbishop]

I had a 5 man ZiS AT that was destroyed leaving a single crew member behind. I moved the guy back to try and reinforce and could, to a cap of 3.  Then I proceeded to try and re-crew one of my own crew-less mortars with the now useless AT team and the game locked up. The map was Moscow and I was facing Wehrmacht.
Also the gunless crewmembers could not enter buildings of any kind.

The bug is that you are playing with an old version of EF(1.1X). I suggest to update from the launcher or download the last version from ModDB.

@Seeme
Yeah that was a crash , hard to believe but if you can replicate it . If you have EF 1.10 and upgrade ZiS-2 with four-man-squad to five-man-squad; if you lose the ZiS-2 only one soldier will survive, you can reiforce him up to 5 times(4 soldiers + 1 AT gun ... yes the lost AT gun is treated as reinforcement ). Of course, even if you don't reinforce by a 5th. time(avoiding the AT gun) you will have a 5 man squad capable of recrewing any type of heavy weapon but the game will crash . Also that squad couldn't garrison anywhere, they're suppose to be AT crew after all .

I did not discover the bug by myself, was Artillerist, Original Thread.

I took my time and posted screenshots of that bug if you want to watch them .

Opps, sorry. I didn't here it on his post. Your also doing  to offen.

Hey, i've got plenty of new crash dmp for you

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/369241/EF_CrashDMP.7z

I can't remember what i was doing or playing for the two older but i've got a fresh new crash right now while playing russians on 2vs2 (with and vs IA) at Pointe du Hoc.
I was capturing a point (but the game crashed before the end) and building nothing.

I love this mod, so thanks you. However i have to admit that the game is far more unstable since 1.2 (network problems & CTD).

I tought that it could be linked to the patch 1.0 > 1.1 > 1.2 so i reinstalled the game in fresh 1.2 yesterday.

@dbkblk

Do you know if you have enabled *CPU VT?

*CPU VT: CPU Virtualization Technology

[dbkblk]

I'm not sure but i think i don't have this enabled.
However, i use "Granola" which regulates the energy given to my processor to save power. More infos here: http://grano.la/

Each time i play heavy game, i put granola on "highest settings" which sound equivalent to the "highest power" unmodified windows settings i think.

Do you think this could be linked ?

My EF used to crash a lot randomly... 'til I downgraded the shader settings from Ultra to High and the water reflection to low. It made a world of difference and EF hasn't crashed a single time since. Just posting this in case it helps someone.... 

[dbkblk]

I have also reduced the settings but i've got a crash without any lags in game !

This isn't the topic but, do you plan to optimise Zythomyr again ? because this is the heaviest map on the game !

[Blackbishop]

@dbkblk
I also use granola, but never had this issue. Ehh... Devs already have plans to that map .

@Happycat
That should help, but i'm wondering that if you have 64 bits OS, CPU VT could help to increase the performance of x86(32 bits) apps . The bad news for inexperienced users is: that option can be enabled/disabled just from the Bios Conf. Screen. It's just a theory ...

Uninstall EF, download and install 1.20 (most recent version, can be found here on the announcements section or moddb)

[Mad hatters in jeans]

My game crashed while doing a warm up comp stomp.
I was playing the leiningrad map.

The Ai was at my doorstep and then it crashed.
It wasn't a particularly big problem because i was getting wupped anyways but it did confuse me a bit.
i wonder if it's something to do with the smoke barrage from the soviet mortar i used in conjunction with tank hunters ambush.

idk.

Try disabling the auto-updater. Open EF_Launcher_Config.ini located in CoH Directory and change this line

Auto_Update=True -> Auto_Update=False
