1.05 Runtime c++ error

[Jajusha]

Can't finish a game turn without the game crashing with a Runtime C++ error in the latest beta patch.

1.04 version works fine.

[Helpless]

When exactly it happens? Does it happen all the time with various saves?

[Jajusha]

I believe i solved the problem by re installing the game. The error poped up every time i tried to end a turn, but seems to be solved for now.

[Jajusha]

After 1 day of playing, the problem is back:



It happens everytime i press either "save game" or "end turn".

[Helpless]

Hm, it would be too big to be unnoticed by the test team. Do you have a free space on the disk drive?

[Denniss]

Or do you have Vista/Win7 and the game installed into UAC-protected c:\program files ?
->Might be a permission issue then.

[Jajusha]

550 GB free space on disk.

Win 7 and UAC disabled.

Edit: 1.04 works fine

Could be the old VC++ redistributables. The MS C++ libraries get patched every so often by Microsoft, and it caused considerable strife for Witp:AE and its tools. I keep my PC up to date with patches which meant that the dev environment got updated and the new libraries were installed into the EXE. To play the EXE, you then needed a minimum library version of the one I patched to.

I would suggest checking that you have the latest of these installed - I am guessing that you would only need 2008 or 2010. It depends on the library set used by WitE dev.

Attached is an example of last month's C++ versions.

Hope this is helpful.

With c++ runtime libraries you typically only nee the most recent version, on my Win7 x64 Prof version I have all in all 6 c++ runtime version, 3 in x86 and 3 in x64 (2005, 2008 and 2010).
Most recent version of 2005 x86 is 8.0.61001, 2008 and 2010 in the screenshot are the latest versions although 2008 has multiple old version installed as well.

[Jajusha]

Updating the runtime 2010 libraries from 10.0.3 to 10.0.4 did not solve the problem [&:]

Windows 7 is up to date as well.
Direct X 11 up to date.
Graphic drivers up to date.

Might need to wait till Helpless signons on to see which VC++ version (2005,2008,2010) WitE uses.[&:]

I can update them all and report on it...

Unless i'm missing something, i now have every VC++ redistributables as your screenshot, and my problem remains. Game crashes with Runtime error everytime i press "End turn" or "Save game"

WITE is built with VC++ 2010

[Jajusha]

Got VC++ 2010 at 10.0.40219 version, and the problem persists.

Do you have auto save enabled? Can you try to end turn with autosave disabled? Would it crash?

Yes, i have it enabled.

Hmm, disabling auto save enables me to end turns properly, but trying to save manually still crashes the game.

Ok, so the problem probably is with the disk access. You mentioned that it worked for some time after reinstall, right?
