I keep having the game crash on the Red Hammer Scenario. I have a saved game at 1830 hours. I have twice run the game from this point, and both times at the end of the 19:30-2000 time period the program freezes up.

I haven't had problems with other saves from prior scenarios.
I can send you the saved game file if you want. I am easily winning this one so I may just play it from the WP side.

zip the file and attach to a post here please...
Thanks

Here you go.

for what it's worth... I've been able to finish from the save. Mind you I didn't give any orders. So there's 3 possibilities that I can come up with:
1. are you giving any orders in the 2 or 3 turns it takes to get to the crash?
2. your computer specifics cause the crash (drivers/hardware...)
3. it's caused by an issue which no longer exists in version 1.0.1 which I have installed currently. (If anybody with the release version would like to have a go, please do)

I would be most interested in exploring option 1 but I don't have too much time on my hands at the moment.

OK...I have both v1.0.0 and 1.0.1 installed and I tried it on both.

It appears to be a bug in v1.0.0. I had exactly the same hang at the same point (just at the end of the turn from 19.30 to 20.00).

I tried it on v1.0.1 and it does not hang at that point.

I will point this out to Rob.

I also noticed that the AI WP did not fire back...and they had the chance to...it wasn't like they were all wiped out...although they could have had seriously low morale (they look like they had taken alot of hits)...but then if that was the reason for not firing back...why where they advancing?

I'll point Rob to this thread. He's worked vigourously on v1.0.1 and I will be doing some big testing on it over the weekend.

You've got to love this game, though. Each time I loaded your scenario, I had different results!

I've attached your file. I used v1.0.1 to play through to 20:00hrs...so, although I used 1.0.1 and you have 1.0.0, it may work...it's worth a try.

NOTE TO ROB : the screen seemed to "deskin" (i.e. the standard windows minimise, maximise and resize graphics showed up instead of the game versions.

I've got both files now and will inspect closely.

Cheers, Rob.

Poliorcetes - could I trouble you to take a peek in your game directory and if there is a file named "FPG_report.txt" could you upload that too please? It might help me spot the problem.

Thanks, Rob.

Sorry to bud in as you guys are hard at work on a problem but you guys mention 1.0.1 my FPG is 1.0 is this a soon to be released update?

Thanks

1.0.1 is current beta we test, yes update is in the works. Robert just don't know how to stop! [:D]

Oleg

great thanks for the info hopefully the map editor isnt too far behind

Here you go. Don't worry about me finishing the scenario, it was already a blow out.

Thanks for the file. It shows 3 crash errors but they appear to be ones downstream of the fatal first one. It only tracked the last 3 unfortunately and do not reveal what caused the problem to start with.

Next time though, Rob.
