Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Hi Derek
I have been getting this error from time to time that crashes me to the desktop. "Runtime error 9: subscript out of range" and then you have to click ok which crashes you to the desktop.

Thanks

Spags

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

May I ask...at what point does this happen? What were you doing right beforehand?

Thanks!

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Sorry Derek

It has happened after I purchased an enchantment(sometimes), it happened after a fight right after the other fights sim(This happened at the 30th fight in a 30 fight season)...This Last time it happened when I re-tried the 30th fight and I lost my saved game when I tried to go back in and play...

Thanks

Spags

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

I've just played almost 2 full seasons (20 days), bought potions and enchantments, etc and haven't ran into any problems.

Did it always happen after loading a saved game during that session? If it happened while purchasing an enchantment, did it happen immediately after clicking to purchase the enchantment?

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

I just started play with Version 1.5. My primary warrior(Stinklove) just gained 30 Agility and I am only 2days into season. I have the unholy Communion enchantment going but the gain was after the +30 for the enchantment.I didn't look closely at thr other stats but I believe the game is also raising them +30 everyday.
Anyway that I can send you the file to take a look?

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Yes as soon as I purchased an enchantment it happened as the sound effect was playing...

And yes now that you mentioned it, it did seem to occur after I loaded a save game because I was trying to finish season 1...

For an OS I have Win XP...Not sure if that matters
Thanks

Spags

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

I found and corrected the bug, Spags...simple typing error...happens when you buy an enchantment and don't have a primary fighter selected.

The other bug that Ralph reported will be fixed shortly as well and i'll reissue the patch. Sorry about that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Here's a test patch for the people who have installed the 1.5 patch (430 KB):


Test Patch for Coliseum

Just download the file and double-click on it to install. This will only work if you installed the 1.5 patch beforehand. let me know if anyone has any problems. The issue that keeps adding numbers to the stats when using stat increasing enchantments should be fixed, and the "Error 9" when buying an enchantment with no primary warrior selected should be fixed too. I believe the other playoff "Error 9" should be fixed too.

Let me know if there are any more problems. If there are any, please let me know the exact circumstances and what you clicked right before the error, if possible.

NOTE: Also, what may help is to uninstall the game, go in and delete the Coliseum folder from Program Files (or wherever you installed it) and then resinstall the game, and then install the 1.5 patch, and then maybe this patch as well. As with other games, files may have gotten corrupted.

Thanks and sorry everyone for the difficulties. Weird, since I've played 3 seasons and had no problems at all.

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Hi Derek
Everything was going smoothy after I installed the test patch until I fought the 30th fight in a 30 fight season. When the match was over the the other fights were simmed and the events were generated the "Runtime error 9: subscript out of range" error came up and crashed to the desktop. I played the 30 game season, today, on and off and saved at various times. I played 4 fights with no problems until I got to the 30th. Also I un-installed deleting all folders and re-installed the game.
Thanks

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Hmm...want to narrow this down..

Did you have all three of your team slots filled when you fought that 30th match? Did any of your warriors make the playoffs, or were you out of it already?

Thanks!

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

I like to use only 2 warriors and I was already out of the playoffs by fight 30...

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

How odd...I just played a 30 match season, with one warrior having died in the second slot in about the 5th day (which I left blank the rest of the season), and I played out the rest of the matches, saving right before the 30th match, and reloaded the game, played out the 30th...and it works perfectly. I tried it several different ways (auctioning off the 1st slot warrior and filling slots 2 and 3, etc), having the leader make the playoffs, having him not make the playoffs, etc, and it always worked fine.

Were you having this problem before the 1.5 patch, Spags?

I'm using the release CD installed on my system, with the 1.5a test code.

I'm not doubting you, I'm trying to find a commom denominator here as to why it may do this...very few others are reporting any problems on other forums...in fact, most other people i've talked to say it runs fine overall. Weird. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Derek,

I too have the runtime error. Same as described here. At the end of the season - I made the playoffs...boom clears the final match results and crash - runtime error. The test patch is not working for me.

One other item. If I reinstall a game more than a couple times, the game will not let me do it again and it is greyed out.

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Can you remember how your season went? What are your playing strategies (enchantments you buy, use potions?).

Did you have all 3 slots filled, Rusty? Just trying to narrow it down, because i've played using numerous different strategies and never seen the error before.

Thanks!

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

One strategy I always use is the enchantments...I do not use the potions much because I don't want to lose a warrior because of a overdose so I use them on occasion(If I need a big win). When I get rid of a warrior I sell them. I never release them because there is gold to be made http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

When I am in season one I like to re-name all the warriors I that currently have. Then I will sell the warrior who I believe is no good even before I start the first fight of the season. And then I work with the two that I have(one primary, one training) and start advertising in which I always spend 160 gold.(Works go for me) Then I save before I start the first fight(So if I forget to save I won't lose anything up to that point). Hope this helps http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Thanks

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Derek,

Sorry... not enough detail for you. I was using the 20 game season. I used potions sporadically, and always use enchantments. I renamed all three players (all slots filled)and I always start the season by dropping the lowest rated fighter and hiring one to take his place. I then run the hired one, and train the rest. Bet all the time too on the other matches. I also save every day or so.

Does this help out? Great game Derek!

Rusty

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Derek,

Spags and I use very similar systems. Something has to be there. Prior to the test patch, the runtime error appeared late in the season or at the start of play offs just at the end of the regular season. Possible error in stats? Or is it the hired fighter maybe?

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Oops. I posted to customer support about this because I couldn't post here, then realized I had too much paranoia software loaded and I wasn't accepting cookies. Do you have a sheepish smilie? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

I had error 9 too, at the end of a 40-match season. I had rested my main fighter in match 40, but he should have been in the playoffs on the "most kills" tiebreaker. Error message and crash to desktop instead. (I put more detail in the e-mail, but I think that covers it.) I had installed the test patch before starting the game.

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

Played two more twenty game seasons and crashed both times. Once when the playoff screen should have opened (error 9) and once when my fighter was killed on day 13 (system quit responding/CPU usage at 100% even though mine is 1.6 GHz). Used a hired fighter both seasons and did not use any potions or enhancements. Both the 1.5 patch and test patch were installed.

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

I have the 1.5 patch and the latest no music patch installed.

After a 20 match season everything occurs as it should (except the invisible buttons are still enabled for selection in contract negotiations), then when I try to start the 1st match of the 2nd season, the screen changes to the Last match of the 1st season showing the results of that match. There is no error message and no button to exit this screen.

Any ideas?

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

I now have the "invisible button but able to click on it" contract bug fixed, and I believe I have fixed the occasional problem with the screen changing to the Last match of the 1st season and showing the results of that match. It happened after you didn't make the playoffs, I assume? If so, it is fixed now.

The fixes will be made available in a soon to be released 1.6 patch for the game. I'll be adding a few new enchantments to the game too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

I haven't play the game since I installed the patch, so I don't know if I will have similiar problems. Derek, I tried to go to that test patch link, but it's not working. Where can I go to d/l it?

Re: Derek please look..Possible bug...
 

I took it down due to some problems many others were having. Go ahead and download the patch in the top "sticky" post in the forum. It's based on the latest code release and fixes most of the issues in 1.5.

Thanks!
