After playing for a few hours on Rebellion on a 3 star map, the game crashed because of an "unusual runtime error".

Just wanted to post to help you guys improve the game.

Cant wait for the vassari to be available

Hey, I'd like to add that this has also happened to me multiple times. It seems to happen after playing / leaving the game running for three hours on the same match. Just throwing my two cents in there (while I still have them, since where getting rid of them in Canada). Also wondering if there's a fix to this, as I haven't been able to finish a full match yet due to this.

Thanks

Ditto, played a game a couple days ago and got it about 20 minutes after the game start.

 

Today I've managed to almost completely finish the map at roughly 2 hours 16 minutes and it popped a runtime error on me.

 

First time was as Advent Rebels, second time today as TEC Loyalists, both times it has just been on a tiny wee small random map.

Me and 4 other friends who got the game have the exact same thing, at first it was me crashing every few hours and we would have to load from an auto save as we couldn't load from a player made save (wouldn't be able to join it). But now everyone is crashing after a couple of hours or so, Is slightly game breaking considering we cant keep saving with manual saves and just load from those.

Hope there will be a fix very soon, or at least a dev saying "yeh we are fixing that as we speak", loving the game but when you have to go back 10-20 minutes every couple of hours you lose out on your teching etc and it starts to get frustrating. Have looked for a fix but have had no luck.

Really? Well that's not good. Hopefully we got your crash dumps via Steam, so we'll check into them.

Huh? I play these games for hours on end without a crash. Check your system and fix it.

I got the same problem with runtime error after approx. 2 hours of gaming. A bit sad. It seems like many people got this problem. In multiplayer, i am yet to see a game without drops.

We believe this error occurs when your video card runs out of texture memory. The final release of Rebellion optimizes memory use further, so hopefully it won't continue to occur.

similar problem here although seems to be tied to custom maps, and the map designer.

i get the runtime error everytime i try to start a match, specifically on the map selection screen, when i try and use custom maps, or when i try and access the map designer it dumps me to desktop every time.

i bought the beta off steam couple weeks ago, and have played the 2 factions without problems, only started getting the problem with the release version.

Dont mean to bring up a old thread, but this was the top match on google.

 

I have not played this game since beta as I had this run time error.

Now after release I have have this error twice within a 3hour session with a friend.

I do not beleive this is a video card memory texture error as I am running a GTX580 1.5gb so plenty of that to go around.

This is indeed very frustrating.

 

On a sie not, I found out what made the game desync in MP, Close Teamviewer

Quoting Yarlen,
We believe this error occurs when your video card runs out of texture memory. The final release of Rebellion optimizes memory use further, so hopefully it won't continue to occur. 

 

Well I am running the latest version from Steam (no more updates available) v1.02.4185 with a GTX 580 (which as previously mentioned above has 1.5GB of memory) and I still get this error.

Its happened 3 times across the same save game. Luckily the auto-save feature works but something I have noticed is that this always seems to happen within a minute or so of when I would expect an auto-save to occur. This can't be conincidental - I would suggest that the auto-save feature is in-fact partly responsible for this error.

 

Hopefully someone from the Stardock team will pick up on this...

I have acctually looking at it noticed this too.. it happens about 2mins before a Auto Save.

It only ever happens to me in multiplayer, I have a single player game that ran for over 4hours, yet in multiplayer we are dead on 4hours now and I have crashed out about 4 times so far.

Please contact support@stardock.com for assistance on this. It's not something we've seen recently after the last few updates.

Submitted ticket thru support but waiting to get feedback.  Runtime error or simply ctd still occurs and with more frequency.  If you can help light a fire under them please do so.
