Re: This game crashes alot

Post by Erik Rutins »

I just finished discussing this with Elliot and Phil (our Technical Director). This is a fairly low level crash and they have some ideas on what may be going on, but frankly it will take a few days to figure out and see if those ideas lead to results.

In the meantime, I wanted to ask you one more question:

Is this only happening when you continue play from the previous saves or even when you do a clean start and start a new game?

Hello, im also crashing sometimes when i zoom in from galaxy view, it produces no logs and this is what windows event says:

Faulting application name: DistantWorlds2.exe, version: 1.0.1.6, time stamp: 0xeaea7119
Faulting module name: nvwgf2umx.dll, version: 30.0.15.1179, time stamp: 0x620471aa

I have been trying to keep that save going. I will try a new game and see if it happens and if the event viewer error is the same.

Edit.
I started a new game and didn't crash, the game froze for about 20 seconds when i zoomed into an enemy empire capital but i left it untouched while not responding and it finally loaded all the ships and unfroze.

Okay, so it turns out its not my system and just a few bugs, i am relieved, As per your question, Yes if i restart a save it happens frequently, but i can play a new came for up to 2 hours before it starts again

I sent a crash report (through google form) yesterday for the same crash. Same error report, same conditions.
It happens to me a lot, when I zoom on a system with a capital colony.
