Game crash! in OSX
 

I just got Dom3 yesterday, I'm running ver. 3.06. I'm running Mac OSX ver. 10.3.9

I've been playing the demo for about a week without any problems. The full version game has run wonderfully so far but for one problem.

I've played several different games with Late Age Ermor. The game sometimes crashes whenever I Shift-click on a unit in the Army Setup menu. Its the strangest thing because it never does it the first time I shift-click, only after I've been playing for a little while.

Anyone else had this problem and is there anything I can do about it?

I just got it to crash again. This time I simply double-clicked to select a group of units all of the same type and then single-clicked on the first unit in the group. Then the game crashed.

So I've done some experimenting. I've tryed it on several games using different races. Here are my findings:

1) Go to the Army setup screen in a province that contains multiple units of the same type.
2) Either Double-click on a unit to select all of that type in the row or Shift-click on a two units to select all the units in between.
3) Clicking once more on either the unit which was double-clicked or the first unit of the Shift-click will cause the game to crash.
4) Clicking on any other unit in the selected group simply removes that unit from the selected group as normal.

I've reported this bug - though I experienced it when I had selected multiple units with 'w', and then attempted to examine the initial guy. But I think your description goes a little bit deeper.

I don't think PC users have been able to replicate this behaviour - it may be Mac-specific.

This one happens to me. It's always when I double-click on an already highlighted unit. The game fades out and goes to desktop. OSX 10.4.8

I see it too, OS X 10.4.9, Intel Mac. Good job narrowing it down to a five-second demonstration. Developers love that in their bug reports.

Can't figure out why I didn't trigger it myself before now...I tend to do lots of unncessary clicking in the army setup screen.

I tend to do lots of extra clicking there as well, especially playing LA Ermor with the tendency of undead to reanimate in such a disorganized manor. At least its a general bug and not just my computer. So, it could possibly get fixed, eventually.

I have experienced this, too.

I used the steps above to cause the crash to happen in the debugger. It looks like an explicit assert or somesuch in canleadtransunit(). Here's the backtrace:
