Appli crashed: Unhandled Exception

[nukkxx5058]

Hi, I'm having this crash quite often when looking at the detailed stats of an unit.

Is this a known issue ? Any fix ?

Thank you

Hi,

Could not repeat this, but...

Whats your ATG version?

Is this in a specific scenario or everywhere? If only in a specific scenario, in which one?

Best wishes,
Vic

Hi, I'm running Steam's version.

The crash is not in all scenarios. For example it's working OK in GD38.

The crash was in Russia41 (in \Classic WWW2\). I can replicate it each time I click on combat stats.

I just tried another scenario "North Africa" in the same directory and it's the same.

And same in "training1" scenraio.

So I guess it's quite often ...

[MC456]

Just want to chime in and say there are others having the same issue. Another user and I posted our log on the Steam discussion forums. As I said in the Steam thread:

some scenarios seem to work, while others crash instantly when clicking the Combat Stats button. I just tested out the CLASSIC_WW2\netherlands1940 scenario and it seems to work fine. Every other scenario in that folder seems to crash though.

I also had the same issue with a lot of custom scenarios from the scenario bank website.

More details:
I'm running Windows 8.1, 64bit OS. Only recently reinstalled on Steam hoping it would fix the problem (bought a key a long time ago), but it persisted.

Thanks for any help.

Bombur and I had this happen in one of the first scenarios we made. It turned out that giving 0 HP to a SFT will cause something like this. It could be that it is the same thing in these cases.

[MC456]

Well hopefully Vic can think of a way to fix this. Love the game and really hope to play some of the custom scenarios others have created but most of them seem to cause this crash.

[Vic]

Yeah I guess is its about time for a new Private Beta.

Thanks for reporting this. I confirmed the bug and I'll get on it.

Best wishes,
Vic

[MC456]

Glad to hear. Thanks !

[Vic]

Posted private beta 2.28 which should among others solve this issue.

See the main forum for the download link.

Thanks for the feedback!

best wishes,
Vic

[nukkxx5058]

Thanks Vic ! Will give it a try. Will this patch affect current pbem games ?

[Vic]

All the patches after the official 2.27g should be completely compatible.

Worst thing that might happen is a version difference message during PBEM.

best wishes,
Vic

Thanks !

Hey Vic,

My game is crashing on startup now. Is it because I have it installed on Steam? I reversed it by copying over the original .exe again for now.

The forum rules aren't letting me post the error log here though. It's saying: "You are not allowed to post links, emails or phone numbers for 7 days from the date of your tenth post." -- Do you want me to PM it?

[ernieschwitz]

In general these version that Vic is posting for testing are not for Steam users. So it was a good thing you saved your exe file. I imagine that this is because the process of updating on steam is more complex, but I don't know for sure.

[MC456]

I figured it was probably due to Steam. Hopefully I can give feedback once Vic pushes the release to the Steam version.

It's funny because I had bought ATG a long time ago and had been playing the non-steam version. Once I discovered this error I thought maybe registering my key on Steam would fix it, but nope lol

Not a huge deal. I am a patient guy and still having tons of fun with the game regardless.
