Crashes and how to fix them

[Jerrion]

Ok I'm back after fixing the error messages, when loading a game that would crash before it keeps crashing and when I started a new campaign the same CTD happens as before around turn 58 this time.

There were no new (error) messages in the log, so I tried the more extensive log. However this also doesn't show an error that would cause the CTD I think. I put the log in the attachment.

Thanks again for your time, any idea how I could continue?

What happens if you replay your last save? Does the log look the same?

[Jerrion]

Well as I did load that save before and use the more extensive logtype I thought it wouldn't matter, however I tried it anyway.

What was most interesting was that now it didn't CTD until 4 turns later. And when I loaded the autosave again it CTD'd again after 2 turns. And now it's stuck again CTDing in the AI's next turn.

Checked the logs every time, they were not identical but roughly the same, and no [error] messages.

[irishron]

Then they are random errors if you cannot reproduce the error. You get one that you can reproduce, post the log, and we'll see if we can find it.

I do my own beta testing and this is the only way I can chase them. Good luck.

Sorry, but I have managed to create new map and use existing region colors from mod, in which i haven't modified anything except from world folder , and it seems to be 100% ok as it said in latest Geomod version, I have checked all...even tried all types of logs..it crashes immediately before i push start buttom in my camping screen. What could cause this problem?

[Gigantus]

Reasons for crash when clicking faction symbol in start menu:

invalid victory conditions - use Geomod to check the win_conditions (Factions\Campaign\Victory)
invalid picture format for faction pics (leader\maps\units) eg grey-scale or wrong format of TGA file.

[Dman1993]

Win conditions are fine, as well as invalid picture format( It crashes not when i select faction symbol, i can click to all of them without crash, it crashes when i push the button "start" whatever faction it is.

[Gigantus]

Probably a map error. Upload your (compressed) log, it might contain some usable info.

[Dman1993]

Ok, here it is

[Gigantus]

Move this file somewhere else (as a backup), delete map.rwm and then try again: mods/SS6.3/data/world/maps/base/map_heights.hgt

[Dman1993]

Same...

[Gigantus]

If your work was not extensive, then I would suggest to start again. It is probably a color code problem. Just recently I had a case where the opacity of the brush was set to 99% - that was enough to cause an error.

Make a minor adjustment like changing the color of a few pixels in map_regions to the neighbor's color. If that causes a crash, then it might be your set up of the brush that you are using in your graphic editor.

[Dman1993]

Strange, I have checked all provinces, they are 100 opacity.
Just i have used the same brush and the same program,when I was changing (not making new) borders of map, and game didn't crash...

I have encountered a strange error with my modded game:

when start a campaign, the game blackscreens after the loading bar is fully loaded and I get an "unspecified error" window.
If I klick ok the game does not shut down and I have to close it using task manager.

system log only says unspecified error.

[Dman1993]

Gigantus I get it! The problem was with rivers, I have corrected them. Now it is loading and generating map.rwp! But it anyway i get crash window...

[Gigantus]

It still looks like a map error. Are you sure you fixed the rivers? Best to check by replacing map_features with a complete black graphic.

[Dman1993]

Yeah that was rivers, solved.
After I push bottom Start Camping, it crashes. In log there is no any errors, i have checked all possibilities listed in this topic.
Before it was working 100 proc fine, i have added 2-3 regions, then added one hidden res, and added some new buildings. Now I have restored previous export_descr_buildings.txt and anyway it crashes...

[Dman1993]

I get it, problem with faction objectives!

[Gigantus]

check descr_win_conditions (imperial_campaign folder) if you have invalid conditions (non exiting regions or factions as conditions)
