In ProgressEnd Turn Crash

AlecChristophorou

Build Number: v1.0.0 Build 9738.876614

Detailed Description:

I am 256 turns into my Vampire Counts campaign with my difficulty set to Hard. Every time I end my turn the AI cycles through and by the end of the cycle (sometimes at the first race, sometimes the last) it crashes. The Campaign is coming to an end and there are only a few factions left (around 10) - Empire, Greenskins, Bretonnia, Karak Norn, Wissenland, Skaeling, Varg and Estalia (that I know of).

I have tried altering the outcome by changing my move on that turn, attacking armies, changing research, buildings, etc. and none of it worked.

I have checked the usual reasons:
- Graphics Card Driver
- Mods
- "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache"
- Deleted local files and re-downloaded/installed the game

None of these worked.

I even installed the game on another PC and opened the Cloud Saved Game and it resulted in the same outcome. Leading me to conclude that it is the game that is the issue.

I am unsure how to attach the relevant files/information that are required.

There is no crash_report folder in my %appdata% folder so I could not provide the Mini Dump Files.

Could you please include a DXDiag, modified.log, preferences file and crash dump file? The links below tell you how to do that.

Sorry, I have the files you need but I am unsure how to attach them to my post. Every time I clock the "Attach Image/File" button it asks for an 'Image URL'.

Apologies if this is very obvious for some people.. I am just a bit lost.

@AlecChristophorou you need to complete the forum registration process first. You should have received a mail to confirm your e-mail adres.

AlecChristophorou

Ah, Sorry about that. See attached - just note that it didn't seem to create a crash dump file for me to provide. thanks for your help

AlecChristophorou

Here is the save file. If it helps at all.

AlJabberwock

Thank you for that stuff. I will flag it for Max and Support as it is a crash type we are looking into.

At turn 256, yeah, pretty sure its either just really bad luck and a corrupted save _or_ it -is- a bug and we really would like to figure that out!

Thanks again. ~Al

Have you tried deleting the "%AppData%\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer" folder? If not you could try that one.

Since there's multiple reports about crashes during Vargs turn we are investigating if it could be a bug.

AlecChristophorou

Just attempted that, didn't work. Same result. Most of the time it doesn't even get to the Vargs turn, usually crashes at the Greenskins. But it could just be lagging at the Greenskin when its actually calculating Varg turn. Not sure.

Hiya.

I had a look at your save. I'm getting a crash as well when I load it on the live build, though I have to end turn twice in order to see it. I'm not getting any crash on our internal development build though. It's possible we've already found and resolved the cause of this crash.

Unfortunately there isn't too much I can do to help you get around the problem on this build. I'd suggest holding onto the save and trying it again when we go live with the next update.

Do bear in mind though that there's currently no ETA on when we'll do the first patch for the game.

AlecChristophorou

Thanks for the support and fast response times! I love how dedicated the team is to fixing all the bugs and crashes so quickly.

I work in app/game development so I understand what you guys are going though. So far it is a very stable and wonderful game! Well balanced and beautiful graphics. Keep up the good work!

I look forward to the first patch so I can clock countless more hours into the game.

Cheers!

Thats pretty serious game breaking bug, perhaps a hotfix is in order?.

Im on my dwarf campaign turn 164 just killed the last greenskin army and then crash on End Turn. Would start new game with another faction but if i can expect the same thing, whats the point.

Haven't played the game for 10 days because of this gamebreaking bug,and I am not the only one.I am afraid that it will be a lot more.

So this is still a bug I see. Any update on the next hot fix or patch date?

Hogfather

Same issue - crashes during Varg's turn. Big letdown/annoyance to an otherwise great game. Hope to see it fixed asap.

Grim_repoR

Playing as Dwarf and game crashed on turn 14 and I could not load autosave.
Went back to turn 8 and a manual save and that loaded.
Played several turns more and this time game crashed on turn 15 and I can't load last autosave again.

Both crashes occurred after battles vs an outpost but I had previously attacked & occupied outposts.
Have checked what people say to check & these autosaves just will not load.

Game remains unplayable & the most eagerly awaited Total War game to date (and I have had most of them) is the biggest letdown of them all just because of this.

Fix needs to be found ASAP else I will be wanting a refund.

This problem has not been solved.. a ton of players are having there game crash including me. It is a game breaking bug, that renders the game we payed for unplayable.

I am having the crash on Xlanhuapec's turn every time despite verifying game cache and updating drivers.

If you are playing Warhammer II you are having a different issue and should post in the Warhammer II support forum where there are a number of threads on this topic.
