1.17 - the Crashes I'm seeing |
I'm getting a little frustrated because I can never finish a game. Things start crashing, and it almost always happens in one of three instances
1) Transferring cargo
2) Killing the last ship of an enemy race (so they are out of the game)
3) Randomly in combat
I have a game save that consistently bombs in case anyone wants to check it out (yes I sent it to ) This is version 1.17 vanilla SE5 (no BM). Move your three stacks of figs on top of Usphada1 to attack the ship at (-4,1) and it dies every time on my computer. Some times I can get around it by moving some other ships around and not attacking the same way (memory leak?) but its pretty inconsistent. Usually when a game gets into the state that this save game is in, it tends to segfault in any number of ways and I have to abandon the game.

What more can I provide in terms of information for this to be useful? Or should I just shelf the game and try again in a few months?
Thanks, Lachniet
Patch
There is likely to be a new patch out some time next week. So if its bad I would shelve the game until it comes out patch it and then try it again with a new start assume that old saves are not going to be backwards compatible.
In the mean time I would defrag your computer clear up any rubbish floating about, make sure it’s in good order update all your drivers as the reason for the crashes might be a unique local interaction or random bad luck. The other thing to try is uninstalling and reinstalling the game and re patching it to 1.17 from 1.00
However stick with the game it can only get better and it’s got so much potential
