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.

We need your crash files otherwise we won't know what is happening. Another user also has this similar problem: http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=7467.0

These are the files that were generated. Which ones do you need to see in detail ?

Thanks.

What map are you trying to load? It is an EF map?

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

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.

It crashes using EF or Coh maps. It also crashed in skirmish and campaign modes.

same problem will all saved games here.

a fix would be nice - it would be great to start a game "from the middle" again...
to shorten up time.

thanks beforehand

Does that mean I can re-download 1.6 now or do I have to wait for an updated version?

Thanks. :D
