Game stuck on Quality Assurance 1 step

Post by Simulacra53 »

Was playing West Wall turn 4, game did not proceed after quality assurance 1, just stuck - no crash or complete lock up, just not going any further (pause and unpause).

Will try another game and see what happens.

Apart from that I hame happy to see this game released!

Second play on turn 3 - same
Possibly after crossing the river at Echternach?

Will play another scenario next, but thought it would have been a nice prologue to get into the right mood.

I had that one too on round 1 Arracourt.

Two things:

1) the autosave is done before the ai turn, so you can quit the game and load it again without losing anything

2) Before trying it again, I relaunched the game as admin. Not sure if it helped but no problem after that. Maybe something with the game trying to write something without enough permissions?

@everybody with this issue,

Can I get your processor names?

Trying to get to bottom of this, but I need to be able to repeat the bug on my systems.

If anybody has a savefile from which the bug repeats please send it to vic@vrdesigns.net with a link to this thread.

Best wishes,
Vic

I am going to post an open beta 1.00.01b build.

I think it might be related to some processors handling some threading variables differently than mine (and apparently most of the test team).

I would really like the people who had this issue to try it out and see if the issue still occurs.

Sorry for the hassle, but it would be really nice if we could get this cleared up.

Will post here when it is up.

best wishes,
Vic

Hi all,

I just posted an open beta patch:

Could you give it a try and see if the issue still repeats with this version?

best wishes,

Vic

In any case remember that autosave was enabled by default upon install and you can load the last end of turn state and relaunch the AI without losing any moves.

eh?

So it failed on the first try?

The problem we are after is intermittent and only occuring on certain system configurations so dont celebrate to early. This might very well still require some work on my side.

Yes, the game failed on the first try. On the next round, the same thing happened. I reloaded and it worked. I will try the game on my gaming PC.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Just uploaded subversion C open beta over here:
https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.a ... ey=�

In case it happens again please press the 'y' key which will give a popup with information on the AI thread. This will help me better understand whats happening on your systems.

Work around seems to be to hide AI moves (prefs>general>show/hide ai moves), but please dont do that when helping me test fix the issue.

It is much appreciated you are helping fix this issue.

best wishes,
Vic
