Sim stops responding on accelerated time.

Hello,

I seem to be having frequent crashes when playing on any accelerated time. Usually at the 30 second rate. Most of the time these crashes occur right when I select the new game speed, although it does still happen within a minute or two of selecting the higher speed. The message I get is that the program was stopped responding and I am unable to do anything except close the application. Very frustrating as I've spent an hour or two in a mission, just about to complete it and it crashes. [&:]

Using Windows 8.1
Nvidia 570 GTX
6gb RAM

Thanks,
Wispy

Hello,

You're aware that you can resume where you left off by loading the autosave.scen file, right?

Also, does this happen to you on a specific scenario or all of them? If it's a specific scenario could you please post the autosave file so that we can investigate it?

Thanks!

I had the same Problem with several Scenarios. The hangup seemed to be at a time when much calculating power is needed, usually multiple weapon Impacts from an airstrike or SAM defending against Saturation attack.
Next time i will post an autosave file.

this is what i was thinking also - i have had the game crash when i increase the time scale in larger missions - i take it that there is just too much needed to be calculated in less time. I hope this can be improved a little in future updates so that larger scenarios can be played without too many crashes

It's weird. I had one autosave that consistently crashed five times in a row in a large scale WIP scenario (at 1 sec speed).

But before I was gonna post it up here I went and rebooted just to confirm it was 100% consistent and ever since then it works fine.
