Same crash as previously. I had pressed the button for the next turn, and while the turn was processing, an error message appeared indicating a critical error.

Here are the "Save" and "Log" files.

On doit jouer sur AJE et non sur BOR.

Hi

Again, I am unable to reproduce your crash...

1. AJE scenarios can be played without any issue via BOR, if you own both games, both patched to latest patch, so that is NOT a problem

2. The logs seem to indicate an "insufficient RAM" issue, which is of course not reasonable in your system. I will forward your post to Pocus, maybe he can tell more

Sorry

[Hrothgar]

Someone on the Matrix forum suggested reloading a backup save and going from there. He also suggested exiting the game after every six or so turns, as that has cut down the crashes he experiences. He thought it might be some sort of memory leak.

I've been following his advice, and I haven't had any crashes, except when I forget and play too many turns without exiting the game. This is somewhat bothersome, but at least I can play the scenarios to a conclusion.

Thanks for your response. I hope Pocus can determine what's causing this.

[Pocus]

When you crash, please post your mainlog file so I can check if there is a memory leak. Some system specs are also more sensitive to these problems.

[Hrothgar]

OK, Pocus. I did post the Log folder for the freeze I experienced in the Cantabrian Wars scenario, and I'll try to remember to do so for future problems.

[Hrothgar]

In case anyone looks at this, I want to let you know that the problem seems to occur only in the large scenarios. I end up having to exit the game and restart frequently to avoid the crashes.

In smaller games--the Parthian Wars, for example--I don't seem to encounter this problem. I haven't been able to play even the smaller scenarios in one sitting, so it's possible that, if I played enough turns in a row, it would happen again, but so far, there's no problem except with the larger scenarios.

In your posted log the memory usage in last played turn was 1 GB, first one was 800 MB.

Do you have some background applications running while you play ?

Does the replay features is set to ON ?

Regards

[Hrothgar]

Bohémond,

I usually have a browser window open, as well as my email program. However, neither of those should use much memory sitting idle.

I do not have the replay feature on.

I have the game set to allow it maximum access to my memory, which would seem to give it plenty of resources to run properly.

Thanks.

In some systems it's better the opposite way: make the game use only 25% or less memory.

Maybe you could try it ?

[Hrothgar]

Ok, I'll try that. By the way, this is really an excellent game. I haven't been able to tear myself away from it. Looking forward to more DLC. Thanks, all of you.
