Minidump on 1.04 with 1.04 saved game load

April 12, 2008 9:35:59 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I see several threads on minidumps caused by 1.04, but so far the only responses have been about loading previous version saved games.  I started a new huge game on 1.04 and no problems after 4 hours of play.  Saved the game to do some things around the house, now it minidumps less than a minute into loading the saved game.  Are there any known workarounds?  This has only happened to me since downloading 1.04.

I got a minidump on 1.04 five seconds after starting a new game.

I'm not happy, and would like to know how to fix this as well.

Artagel, does it happen with every game you start?

Svensgaard, are you running any mods?

I wasn't running a mod, and got one; than I ran a mod, and got one. So it happens either way.

And it happens with every game I start, several minutes in. Started after I got the patch.

Welp, send it in to support@ironcladgames.com I s'pose If you're feeling adventurous, you can turn on error reporting in your user.setting file, and it might tell you why it's crashing also.

Just the one saved game.. I got frustrated (tried to load it 4 times several reboots to make sure it wasn't something to do with memory) so I didnt try to play it again. I'll start a new game tonight and see what happens.

Same. As soon as I load, it happens to me as well. I'll see what things I can do to go around it, but we really shouldn't have to at all. These minidumps should have been taken care of already.

And you're all absolutely positively sure you're loading 1.04 games? Previous version save games do not work.

The next game loaded ok. Although there is still some cursor lag and hangs right after loading up the saved game.

That's not unusual, because it needs to load all the objects, textures, etc - as long as it doesn't last, anyway
