DV : Fatal error

[King]

I am afraid that without somesort of cast iron way to reproduce these crashes these log enteries don't help much. If you have a line of code in your log then we have something to work with.

Is it possible to run the game in debug mode?

I spent yesterday having a debug game running and the damn thing just wouldn't crash. If I can a way to reproduce it then I can get the crash in debug and hopefully a fix can be done.

 

[King]

To activate the debug mode you writes DEBUG after the exe?

No I run it thourgh Visual C++, that's why I need a way to reproduce.

 

[King]

So it's no point for me to run it in debug mode? You will not get more information?

Well you can't, only I can.

I seem to be having the same error, but now it seems to be occuring on teh same date in a save game of mine.

Here is the message:

######## EXCEPTION: 0xC0000005 at address: 0x0044BC53: ACCESS VIOLATION read attempt to address 0x00000180
10/05/07 12:05:44

StackWalk(): GetLastError = 487


I've had it repeatable three times (each time October 6 1071) so far. Should I send in that save game (need an address to send it to).

And yes, I also have Norton running, will shut it down next attempt so see how that goes.

Send the save (zipped or rared) to support@paradoxplaza.com with instruction on how to reproduce

Well I have managed to reproduce it and have shunted the saved game up the line.

Apparently the bugs are hard to track down from just those exception errors unless it also refers to a specific line of code. The best way to report these crashes is if you are able to consistently crash a game at a certain point, to compress and e-mail the saved game with specific steps on how to reproduce the crash to support@paradoxplaza.com.

bump. still not recieved a single one that can be reproduced with the latest beta.

 

[Johan]

PLEASE.

not a single one gone to me so far.

send a crashing savegame to johan@paradoxplaza.com
