Title: 1.6 CTD ACL destroyed
Post by Farmer on 16. Jul 2011 at 18:09
I've had at least two crashes that appear to occur directly after killing the enemy anti-cruise missile launcher system.

Having the ability to save the game would make testing and debugging this a lot easier. But I believe it has occurred twice now and possibly a third time.

This is causing me to be stuck on the second mission, and is really frustrating since it tends to happen after about 2 straight hours.

Specs:
OS: Win7 64-bit
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 450 @ 3.2Ghz
RAM: 4GB

Hi Guys,
Please report all crash bug in the game crash section please, that will make it easier to follow. The error of ScottWAR is very consistent, u could try to play on a different PC, or may be you can give us some steps you use when you play, there are so many ways to develop in the game, that we might have missed something. I will definitively look closer on what happens when the enemy's ACM building get destroyed.
Thanks!

I only have one PC, so playing on another isnt an option.  I am pretty sure my PC isnt an issue,..but if you like I can run a DXdiag and post the results.

  The crashes always happen after at least an hour into the game,...the last crash I had,...the one the error above is from, happened while I was looking for a spot to place a second ACM.

The way I develop in the game- I build 4 refineries for my 4 resources for building missles. Then I build my initial batch of windmills.( I do this to ensure I dont build over where I want a refinery).  Then 2 storage. Then  two factories. Then a substation surrounded by batteries. Then a radar. Then an ACM and 2 CML. Then 2 sci centers. Then an accumulator.
Naturally I have to build a few batches of windmills here and there.

That is where I was in the game when I crashed. I was about to build another ACM,...I dont remember if I had chosen it in my buildings menu or not (I dont think I had), I was scrolling to the spot where I was going to buiild it,...and it crashed while I ws scrolling.

  If you like I can do some testing (I used to beta test years ago) and see if I can figure out if there are any patterns to the crashes,... and tell you other bugs I notice.

In fact I have one for you now I think,.......When I built my first CML, I couldnt afford the second one and my power was low. So I sold some resources, and built some windmills. My CML finished building but wasnt connected, becausedidnt want to run out of power. But my missile loaded and I had a launch button even though it wasnt connected and shouldnt have had power. I never tried to launch it before I connected it......I wasnt thinking about testing at the time...........

Anyway.......I will add all other replies about crashes and bugs in the other thread to keep it all in one place. Maybe you can merge the two threads.

  Tried it again without building a substation and batteries and finished it without a crash. You might be on to something. I will keep playing without building it. Thanks.

So it mean that Substation has a bug in power system. Thanks for testing.
