v2.0 Crash to Desktop "starting new turn"

from GalCiv3 Forums

Ok,

First I have opened a help ticket for this:

   Ticket ID: MZD-228-43619
   Subject: galciv 3 crashes on "starting a new turn"
   Department: GalCiv III - SDGame
   Type: Crash / Freeze - Games
   Status: Open

I've got version 2.0 and have had two different games that will crash to desktop at about same turn 35 -36.

They both are on an insane map with 63 AI players (Minor and Major) and yes some minor mods.

The mods Include increased ship mass and starbases that can build multiple types of rings on one starbase.

Along with a modd to increase total planets and total habitable planets.

I have subscribed to multiple factions from the steam workshop also.

I have a save game that allows the crash to happen at the same time every try.

The last few lines of the Debug.err is as follows:

Debug Message:  RequestEndTurn PlayerObjectID 122, Turn #36 on net tick 0
Debug Message:  IGC3Player::RequestEndTurn playerID 122 on net tick 0
Debug Message:  IGC3Player::GetAndClearClickedRequestEndTurn 122
Debug Message:  CPlayerSystem::IterateCurrentPlayer to 62 on net tick 0
Debug Message:  IAIOpponent::UpdateAIMovePhaseJob PlayerID 124 on net tick 0
Debug Message:  IGC3Player::RequestProcessPendingMovement initiate FinishPendingMovement playerID 124 on net tick 0
Debug Message:  IGC3Player::GetAndClearClickedTurn 124
Debug Message:  RequestEndTurn PlayerObjectID 124, Turn #36 on net tick 0
Debug Message:  IGC3Player::RequestEndTurn playerID 124 on net tick 0
Debug Message:  IGC3Player::GetAndClearClickedRequestEndTurn 124
Debug Message:  CPlayerSystem::IterateCurrentPlayer to 63 on net tick 0

 

I have tried to kill player 63. I have removed the modds, and still crashes. I have even uninstalled the game and reinstalled.

Anybody got and any ideas that might help me out?

If it would help I could send the savegame and the debug.err to anyone.

 Thanks,

To bad no one has an idea with what's happening to you. I've had the same problem since 2.0 came out. I've had 4 consecutive games reach a point and go no further, crashing to desktop. 3 during same game and one during diplomacy. Turns have been anywhere from early in game, around turn 100 to later, up past turn 450+. I've been removing old mods trying to see if it's one of them no longer working correctly, but it's never the same crashing event that I can tell.

I think it is ITEMS (it's the everloving mods stupid). I had several mods that were working as expected and I was getting occasional CTD. Only after deleting and reloading the game (and losing the working mods), did I manage to get the base game working as intended.

This does not include workshop stuff only mods that have not been updated for the latest updates. It seems that mods that fail with new updates are somewhat pointless. In other words if the mods are not broken with the update, the mods seem to break the update.

You're removing a mod in the middle of a game? I thought that was impossible. I thought the game read in the mods at the start of a new game and they got saved with the game until you started a new game.

I have the same problems, though not sure if it's one of the mods I have installed or not.

It's funny though even if I jump back to a saved game 10-20 turns before the crash it still seems to crash, though I only tried this twice.

Same issue here, I reinstalled it removed mods and restored all setting and updated my drivers but at about turn 30ish it crashes.

The crash for me happens between turns 98 and 100.  I have a strong feeling there is an event that causes this but I have yet to figure it out.  I went through the xmls for the megaevents and adjusted the spawn rates to later in the game. This only made the crashes slightly worse freezing up my whole laptop.  It has consistently happened in several games now.

I updated drivers and such so I doubt that's the issue.  Could it be windows 10 itself?  I also tried compatibility mode for windows 8 and the game wouldn't load at all.  Losing hair over this.
