Summary | 0003632: Appcrash | ||||
Description | This happens about every 20 mins of gameplay. Either on loading or on saving. Usually saving. If I attempt to load a save that crashed I get 'Bad Cache Offset...' Have tried all the wiki advice, which minimises, but doesn't eliminate crashes. I keep the game updated, but that hasn't helped either. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Play game, save often, await crash. | ||||
Additional Information | I see references to other versions of TDM. I was only directed to one version, which has the latest updates as well - and it still tells me it's version 1.001. Don't quite understand the deal there. Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: TheDarkMod.exe Application Version: 1.0.0.1 Application Timestamp: 52502e60 Fault Module Name: gamex86.dll Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 52502f5b Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00343a45 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 3081 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 | ||||

"it still tells me it's version 1.001." What does it say in the bottom corner of the main menu parchment? That's where the version number should be, and there has never been a 1.001. |
|
It's TDM 2.00. "and there has never been a 1.001." "Application Version: 1.0.0.1" |
|
I've never heard of your specific issue, but try deleting gamex86.dll. An outdated one can sometimes can cause crashes, though not usually random ones like yours. Worth a shot though. | |
Unfortunately it didn't help. The game's been like this since I installed. |
|
Is your install directory named "darkmod" ? What exact OS version (service pack, etc) and Video Card vendor (and driver version) do you use? Please post a condump from a replication. (Note: We have many players on Windows 7 who do not experience this type of failure so this would be better to be discussed at forums.thedarkmod.com before opening it as a "bug" in bug-tracker.) |
|
What's the current status of this? | |
Actually I just gave up on your excellent level, grayman - William Steele. The crashes were becoming too frequent as the game progressed. The darkmod crashes come in a few distinct categories and I have just decided to put up with them. So you can close this issue if you want. As a general rule - the better the level, the more bugs and crashes. |
|
I think it's the bigger the level, the more bugs and crashes, though I didn't receive many comments about crashes for WS1. We'll be looking at memory issues in 2.02. We think there's a memory leak somewhere that's tickling the large maps as more time goes by. And 2.01 has a fix in it for a potential crash when loading a savegame, but the timing of the save is important for that one, and it's probably rare and not very likely the cause of what folks are seeing with large maps. |
|
Too much code has changed since this report. Update this issue if the problem is replicable in the latest release. |
