DV : Fatal error

[jordarkelf]

The last CK patch 1.05? Since you don't appear to be a DV owner.

Prove it (register your game).

Thems figh'n words where I come from.
You do have to wonder why this is not so however with nearly 125 posts it does beg the question to be sure.

It's quite clear that there are cracked versions of DV around, which may be (or are) introducing bugs not present in the official DV.
Not that I am accusing anyone, but I invite everyone who claims DV is unstable to put their money where their mouth is... register the game to prove you actually own it.

Of course there are actual game owners who also experience crashes, but since too many people aren't registering their game it is hard to get actual figures of how many proven game owners have an unstable install.

I agree. Well for what it is worth the game has not crashed on me once with stock files.

Cheers,

If you have repeating fatal-errors in the same save-game then sent this save-game to Support@paradoxplaza.com

Together with your systemspecifications.

You won't get your money back I am afraid.

The eug file is 20 MB so is it the Config save file I need to send?

Thanks for the answer.

Frankly, I'm pretty fed up with blaming everything but the game for these crashes. I know they're not recreatable and therefore hard to get a handle on, but the attitude of the "haves" (those who don't get crashes) towards us "have nots" is really starting to grate on me.

The bottom line is this: I run DV on a brand new machine that also has at least 15 other games installed (including other Paradox titles that don't crash). I am not running any crazy background programs. I defrag regularly. I've worked in software development and IT for 15 years so I know how to configure and troubleshoot a computer, especially for something as simple as gaming. I've been a forum member for 7 years, and I've legally acquired and registered every Paradox game that I own. And yet the crashes continue. Please don't imply that I'm a pirate.

I have fatal errors and I pretty sure that I don't have a cracked version of DV . That I get fatal errors might have something to do with my modification, that is why I have started a game under vanilla DV and so far (1120) I don't have had a FE error yet. But in my other games those fatal errors happened after about 100 years of gameplay. So I still have a few years to go.

Also a lot of people who have said that they have fatal errors are long time members of this forum.

Also registering DV is free and not an obligation. If you think that somebody is a 'pirate' report it to a (demi-)moderator or administrator, don't go accussing people of piracy, or imply that they are pirates, in a general thread. Thank you

I don't think I will. Mainly cause I don't need to so please mind your own business and stop acting like you're somebody who matters.

Tried clean install and no mods

Exception error again. I will now seek to get my money back and never buy Paradox again.

Wow. That is a pretty harsh comment coming from an EU3 and its x-pack owner.

I have tried to install the beta and run it?

[Benedictine]

Yes my last game was new install and no mods and beta 2.1 - same result. After 4 or 5 games of many hours play only for it to break down every time I can't bring myself to even try again, which is a shame as I think it's actually the best game they have made even if it's one of their oldest.

Yeah, the same here, although much less than under baseline DV. Seriously, in our multiplayer game about once an hour 3+ people will have a simultaneous fatal error.

Hmmm... You should try to play a game with DVIP 9.2 installed and see if you have any crashes. I have been playing it for the past few days with that and no crashes that were not caused by me modding. Moreover the system I'm using has lots of issues with the registry and drivers. Believe it or not and it really needs a rebuild but I'm to lazy to do it right now. It is not really stable but it does seem to play DV for what it is worth.

Just want to inform people that I have bought a new PC today (a laptop) and I have started a game using my mod in the 1187 scenario, I am now 50 years into the game and haven't had any fatal errors, which is pretty extra-ordinary.

So my problem with the fatal errors might have been caused by my 'old' machine.

[buneres]

to move from the thread in the genereal forum, I just had myself yet another crash. They baffel me, there is no logic and no system to the crash.... hmmm

Out of interest did you have the latest drivers installed?
