[Fixed] AI freeze error after 1.7.2 (earlier was fine)

[saprize21]

Same here, stopped playing against soviets now, only play against Brittish & Americans. Kinds feels pointless since i am playing a mod thats supose to be about Soviet & Axis

Will check it out asap.
Also could you tell me more about game you played vs soviet AI what doctrine it was using etc?
IMO problem is with reward units will see soon.
Tnx.

I have the fatal error also, this is when Russia is involved in the game as Ally or Enemy.
You get the fatal error message in the screen after 2 minutes and after that the Russians are just friezed in the game.

I notice that when you get the fatal error and the game stops that you can use the Pause button on your keyboard to continue the game.
I hope this info can help a little bit for the developers.

Same issue with the Eastern Front mod. The fatal AI error when playing against the Russian faction within the beginning stages of the game. 
Out of 3 players in the multiplayer game, all have had the AI error once each in three consecutive games. While the other 2 are notified waiting for "[playername] # seconds", the effected player is notified in the bottom of the screen "Fatal AI error". 

We have recently reinstalled the version 1.7.0.1 and played Eastern Front 5-6 times online without the fatal AI error occurring.  To confirm if it was the version 1.7.2.0, we downloaded the updates to from 1.7.0.1 to 1.7.2.0 via Launcher. Then we were able to play one game successfully in the map "Drekplaats" and completed the game without errors. Then the next two times we played the error came back again in the map "EF Leningrad" and "Steel Pact". Each time we played the Fatal AI error reoccurred.

As mentioned already this appears to be consistent with the Russian faction as the AI.

This appears to be similar to using "menu" then "resume" When playing single player against or with a Russian faction.  From my experience, the game continues to play again, but for the remainder of the game with this in mind, the Russian faction's AI appears to stop functioning and there are no active unit movements. Although still attacking when enemy units are in range.

I am providing a scarlog and the replay of the last game played with the Fatal AI error. I hope this information is useful in narrowing down the source of the issue.

I *just* update to 1.7.2 and I am having the same crash - It only happens with Russians (tested with them as AI, so I am assuming 'as player' is effected too). The crash occurs about 1-2min into gameplay. Not having detailed reports or anything, I'm just guessing when I say that I think it the deployment of the SU's first builder infantry that "triggers" the crash...

I can play any other factions via the EF mod launcher (tested as brits, with US allies and 2 wher enemies).

Unfortunately the games with the Fatal AI Error were too early on to recognize the Russian faction's doctrine. If there was another way to somehow figure this out by other means rather than looking for doctrine abilities and units in-game, I would be happy to provide further information regarding the chosen doctrines by the Russian faction.

Then we were able to play one game successfully in the map "Drekplaats" and completed the game without errors.

This may be a clue.  In the game that was successful set in "Drekplaats", the Russian faction did not once initiate off map artillery nor did they use the air strike, which may suggest that they AI Russians did not choose those doctrines.  Perhaps this narrows it down to either of the those doctrines which use artillery, the air strike, or perhaps both. Maybe we are on to something here.

Everytime error

In the mean time you can download the Eastern Front mod 1.7.0.0 and patch it up until 1.7.1.0.
1.7.1.0. is the version before 1.7.2.0, and does not have the fatal AI error.  This should be a short solution until the Eastern Front Mod Team finds a fix for the issue.

Maybe you should all play with real people instead..

[krupp steel]

The only problem with that is there is no one hosting games online (atleast for me)

Also, I got the same problem with the game freezing early into the game.  It was PE (Me) vs Soviet (AI)

[SSonne]

Hiho!


I havent had this freeze-error for the past 4 matches!

Wehr (me) vs. Soviets (comp)


Im testing my new map so there arent any human players out there for this...

 - Maybe you should shoot people for real, instead...
 
  How we play the game is our choice. Play the game as you wish, we shall play the game as we wish.
 World of Warcraft has very separate PvE and PvP populations. Asking people to do it your way is...
 But, hey. Why kill people over pixels when you could do it for real, y' know?

  - Typical peoples thoughts and behaviour: Everyone with a lower level and skill is usually called a noob by them while everyone that is better than themselves
 has to be an unemployed nerd that got no friends. Also relates to other areas like driving where everyone driving slower than them is sneaking around while
 everyone that is driving faster is called an irresponsible maniac.

 *** I myself would love if the AI Freeze error in 1.7.20 was fixed. Right now am locked into playing Soviets if I want to play the mod, and not alternate
 with German :p What of when OstHeer comes out, even? Will it have to be OstHeer vs British and USA?
