1.00.7U51 Savegame suddenly became wonky

Post by PanzerMike »

Savegame suddenly did not work properly anymore. The save is also corrupted. All necessary files included in the zip.

After restarting the game, the problem was gone; saving games worked normal again (the save was still corrupt though).

Few questions.

#1 did you have other things running in the background?

#2 how long were you playing in the same game software. Like were you playing WarPlan for 4 hours straight accessing 22 different games going back and forth?

#3 how much total memory do you have?

And if have a long sesssion of WarPlan next time if you can say after 10 or so game loads with the same WarPlan exe loaded go to Task Manager and tell me how much memory is being used by WarPlan.

These kind of errors are one of a few things I discovered. Either a DLL got updated and is occasionally incompatible with WarPlan. OR there is a memory leak in the code, OR there is a bug in the Unity Engine that has never been detected. Even SC3 crashes like this on me. I consulted with Hubert and he said at times you can't track down what has happened.

Only thing running in the background is AV. I had been playing for like half an hour. I have 16GB internal memory.

I have never seen this before. The save game screen was acting weird. It did save, but strange things happened. The save turned out to be corrupted.

Restart of the game solved it, albeit with a permanently corrupted savegame.

The AV could be interfering also. It's doing a scan in the background and it goes "hey what's this save file? Looks suspicious. Let me fix it."
