Game crashes

I hadn't really noticed any game crashes when playing the game normally, but was searching through numerous save files looking for a particular game and noticed going to the main menu and loading games consecutively has a high probability of causing the game to crash.  Can anyone else test it to see if it is not just me?

I was trying to emulate the problem today but couldn't do it, must have been some temporary issue on my machine.  It was odd because it happened quite a few times the day I reported it.

I didn't email the information given I couldn't emulate the problem.  I assume you just want to close this?

I will go ahead and close the ticket. Thank you for the follow-up.

Sry to open this post again. 

 

I have twice now experienced at some point in my game, the units refuse to move. I can select them etc., but they refuse to move. It does not help letting them pass as the Shafer button still see them as needing to move. The solution is to exit the game (and remember to kill the process in the Task List too) and load. 

Has other experienced this?

I also had a couple of crash to desktop, but cannot really pinpoint the cause.

thimon2k - Does this happen in all your games? Can you try a new game? Is there anything specific you're doing in both games that there is this issue?

I have not played that many games with Beta 4 though. I do not know what triggers "the unit not moving". I can select the units, the controls works etc. but the units refuse to move. I may need to sign some working contracts  :) 

I have also experienced crash to desktop. One time it just stalled and another time it went directly to the desktop without the "I crash now"-windows box. I am not sure what happened.

I do not have that much time to play games, but will try to remember it next time I play and experiences this. Can I toggle some logs on or do other things?

Do your characters have any moves left? If so, have you started a new game since the previous beta, for example, are you using a new game in the latest beta?

The games I experienced the problems in were all started after beta 4. One was started before the hotfix for beta 4, which might explain some of the crashes. The other game was started after the hotfix. 

 

Regarding the move-bug, the units still have moves left. They simply refuse to move. Do you at Stardock not pay your hired staff enough money for them not to strike? ;)

I even tried to press spacebar/pass button in order to skip this unit and get to the next turn, but nope.

Did you try moving one space at a time?  The path routines aren't the best.  If there is anything in the path (unit, or a city that is not yours) the unit will refuse to move.  I think even if the object is not in view.

Yep, i tried to move one tile at a time. And yes the path finding is ridicolous as now you cannot move past your allies, and your allies wont get the F' off MY road, so I must move my units into the wild and then back onto the road. F' allies - get away from MY roads and go kick spank SK instead of annoying me.

 

I can see that

I can see that a0152570 also experienced this. See this post, item 1.

Annoying the heck out of me also.

Yes i did try this, in all directions,.... no joy.   I found the only way to proceed is if i do a save and reload

Hay Gear;

Any suggestions on what i would send you on this?

So i suspect sending my save game will not allow you to duplicate the problem as reloading it makes it work again.

I was not complaining about the game as I know it is still in beta. I just thought I would mention it the non-moving-unit-bug.
