Dom3 Crashing

Warhammer · #1 December 3rd, 2009, 02:13 AM

I have had issues with Dom3 crashing on my laptop when the Dom3 window is minimized or alt-tabbed out of. Any ideas what is causing it?

Nope - it happens to me too.

These notes appear on the Dom3 updates progress page but have not yet been released in a new patch.

19th august 2009
* New resolution 1024*576 (for netbooks).

17th july 2009
* New resolution 1024*600 (for netbooks).

19th march 2009
* Dominions could crash when changing video preferences, fixed

Does that help at all?

Yes and no. Trid changing the graphics to correspond to standard resolution and it still crashes when alt-tabbing.

No, that's a different problem, it could be related though. When somebody tries setting a new resolution through the main menu then Dom3 can crash, some others are suffering from that. The only way to change the resolution is through a command line parameter.

What Warhammer describes sounds like an issue with the graphics renderer.

Also, it does not crash when alt-tabbing with my desktop. With changes to my work schedule, trying to get it up and running on my laptop.
