[Logged] Path changes suddenly

[morphin]

Take a very big scenario and save it often (also save as with different names). It will crash some point in time (when the strinbuilder will growth to large). That indicates that some variable are not flushed).

It even happens when you walk away and after a few houres the game stuck and crashes with out of memory. So that indicate that also some background process has variables that are not flushed (or growth larger than the Stringbuilder max size (about 2 Billions Character).....

So this is CMNAO, and not CMO?

[morphin]

Sorry.CMO.

(CMANO hat also out of memory exception). But since 2020 i only use CMO

[thewood1]

Thats weird. Its been a few years since I got a memory exception error. But I don't run scenarios with much more than 1500 units.

[morphin]

This time it seems that it has nothing to do with the stringbuilde out of memory

It could be that INT32 max value of 2,147,483,647 was exceeded and hence the out of memory (Maybe use float for such big numbers.....).
I suggest systematically look at data types and adjust it....

For Integer it would help to migrate to 64 BIT System (not for string limitations).
But better solutions would be to use the right data type for the "right" situations

Much earlier it was a must to use the datatype as small as possible, but these days it is less limiting and some lazy programmer (at our company at least) use always the
biggest possible datatype(not best practices!)

It will cost a little effort but i think it is worth to play also bigger scenarios (and now since 2020 the performance of CMO is so much improved that bigger scenarios is playable and give much fun )

Yes. It lot of work but I think you'd be happy with 64 bit OS in general never minds possibly fixing this issue. Best of luck!

Another Game
Same behaviour. It is a pitty the path change always
I can hardly play any game now

[morphin]

And here is the game

[thewood1]

Those are ground units. As far as I remember, they will self-plot around hard to pass terrain or impassable terrain for their mode of transport. There might be a setting somewhere to force a more direct path, but take a look at what lies in the way of the units.

[morphin]

I think it is the same bug as with ships. I have also the same with ships (also in this game)

I don't think so. I have followed the path very few hundert meter and i can not see any special terrain...

[morphin]

Here start of the savegame (see later post)

[morphin]

And here after 2 seconds of playtime

[morphin]

And here is the savegame and my current command.ini file

Build 147.34, no autosave. Every time a few seconds after start the path changes. I can reply this and every time same path changes same

Thank's for further investigation

[morphin]

It is possible to turn this off? It is tedious and i can not understand why and units change path....

Thank's
