Crashing after some time in Multiplayer

Post by Serman »

Me and Mertens have been playing multiplayer games alot recently.
We tend to have really long games.

Ussually, after about one or two hours, either of us has a random crash.
Since most people here dont play multiplayer, i decided its up to me to report this.

Sometimes it gives you a "Would you like to save a diagnostic file?" but ussually doesn't.
We were just playing a 3 hour game against 2 AI in Basingstroke, and mertens crashed.

please bring your attention to this!

I am new to warezone and also have the same problem, epic battles are crashing
I dont know where warzone puts the crash dump file... I am running windows xp
500meg ram and 1.6 prosessor. It also does the same thing in multiplayer skirmish
I have the crash dump file if you like to look at it but i dont know where the
game puts it..

lav_coyote told me that it's because the game goes out of sync after some time. He said that the devs are working on this problem, but I would like to confirm this.

We are working on removing bugs from the game... As for out-of-sync, yes, that specifically is being worked on as well.

Will there be a bug release soon or will the devs go straight to 2.1 ?

Unless we find any easily fixable bugs in 2.0.7 and actually fix them, our next release will be 2.1.

The thing is, when either of us would crash, our units would remain, and the other player would only know when either of us message eachother on MSN, or when I, or david notice that the other player seems idle.

Rather than starting another topic (and, yes, i realize this is an old topic), i'll mention in this one that i have the same problem. I'm running v2.0.10 on Linux. The program doesn't really crash, though. It just sits in the background sleeping; only the window goes away. I'm not sure if a log is created for the game, but i'll run the game through a terminal next time.

I'm having the same problem!

Scince there won't really be any more bug releases until after 2.1, I was wondering, what's the source of this sync problem, and what can be done to cut losses and prevent these crashes?
