Default Re: Help! Game crashes after 60-80 turns

The savegame crashes on my computer as well.

And it's a totally different machine (W2kSP2, Gef2Ti, Crystal 8xxxx PCI Sound, DX8.1 etc.)

Looks like DOM freaks out when processing a AI vs AI fight (Ctis 8 : Ermor 1500 units or something like this), judging from the logfile.

Possibly the devs tested on Linux Boxes only, and we know that there's a glitch concerning (different) random numbers on the different systems.

I'll zip the files up and send them to Illwinter.

Thanks Arralen and everyone else. Though I'm sad to see a potential nasty bug crop up, I am relieved it wasn't something specific to my box alone. It will hopefully be squashed soon and then I'll have to try and figure out how to handle those thousands of enemy units cropping up on my borders.

I did suspect the large armies might have something to do with it as the CTD only happened after huge 1000+ armies started showing up on my borders. But I lacked the technical know-how to track it down, so thanks again for all the help.
