Crash on exit from offline area
« on: October 09, 2017, 03:59:29 PM »
Did a quick search and didn't see this reported.

Sequence:
Open offline arena
Quit offline arena
quit game
Get error:




Repeatable.


Tried a variation:
Open offline arena
Quit offline arena
Open online arena
Quit online arena
Quit game
No error.

Apologies if this is a known issue.

I cannot repeat it.

Try this;  Rename the "settings" folder and try it to see if the problem persists.  If it does not, then please ZIP up your old "settings" folder and post it so we can take a look at it.

I had this problem too.  It may have been Driver related. (in my case)
I updated to the latest Nvidia driver and I no longer get game crashes in DX9 nor Dx11.

Thanks, Coogan, but all my drivers are current.

Renamed settings folder.. got same error.

Skuzzy, here's the zipped settings folder.

I'm getting a similar problem every time I exit from the main menu. The game "freezes up" but if I ctrl-alt-del and choose task manager it will give me back my desktop. If I let it sit there it will take forever, but if I pop task manager to get my desktop back it will generate a crash notice much sooner. DX9 version as well.

At the bottom of the game's folder tree is a temp directory, if a dmp file was generated by this event. It will be date and time stamped, zip it and attach it into this post for Hitech.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Just so you know, the "current" drivers may not be the best ones for your system. Knowledge by experience...

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

Seems the 11/14/2017 patch fixed my issue.

Now the film viewer is broke..
