[1.02 FINAL] Crash

[eeeex]

Hi forum!

It is now the second time that my game crashes. Until now everything went good but know under unknown circumstances my game crashes all the time. I'm playing the 1936 scenario and it doesn't matter what I'm doing, my game keeps crashing.

I looked in the savedebug.txt and I've found two lines saying "Event number 2003044 maybe lost !!!!" and "Event number 2049038 maybe lost !".

EDIT: Well, I've solved the problem. I've recently modified an ai file which apparently caused a CTD.

Hi again!

Sooo since the last time I wrote I played the 33 and the 36 scenarios. The problem is that I keep getting random crashes only when I play the 33 or the 36 scenario .
Here is my save game in case it helps:

Hi,
I tried your savegame, I played as Germany and annexed Poland on September 26th. Then I let the game flow until Janauary 2nd 1940 and there were absolutely no problems at all, no CTDs or anything.

What did you change in the game?
I have a suggestion: after a crash, check immediately DH\history.txt. It contains the history and if it's an event that causes the crash, it should be the last event written there. However, it may not be an event, but something else that you changed perhaps.

Well the problem is that the game crashes randomly. Sometimes I can play 5 games in a row without a crash, sometimes it crashes 2 times in a row. I have modified some .inc files in every scenario and some .ai files. I've deleted a few units from Nationalist China and Soviet Union in the 33 and 36 scenario. As I said the crashes appear only when I play the 33 and the 36 scenario. I've also deleted some units from Nat. China and Soviet Union in the other scenarios as well but in the other scenarios I never got a crash.

EDIT: I just played a game in the 36 scenario as Germany. I got a crash again and looked in the history.txt. The last thing that happened was on the 24th august 1938 where a brigade of an infantry division has been upgraded to 7,5cm IG 18. So an event could not cause the problem :S.

AI event loads are not tracked in history.txt unfortunately. It is possible that it is an AI files, probably a missing { or } somewhere.

Unfortunately it's not an AI event because I didn't modify any AI event. When it crashes I try to debug the Darkest Hour.exe with Visual Studio and it says that a integer was divided by zero lol. Could the game also crash when a .inc file is wrong or has something missing?
and btw thx for your help!

Did you said that you modified AI files?
Anyway, unfortunately I don't have other ideas because, as you say, the problem appears to be random (it probably isn't, it's just that we can't figure it out why).

 

[eeeex]

Yes I've modified two AI files chi_1936.ai and chi_1940.ai so they don't build so many infantry and militia divisions.

Ok, that's probably not the cause of the problem.
I'm sorry, I'm out of ideas.

I now had a game in the 36 scenario and came until the invasion of Yugoslavia in march '41 without a crash . The recent thing that I changed was the soviet_union.inc file in the 1936 folder.

And i also want to add besides of some little crashes and bugs the game is very awesome!
