I Need Help Sending in Desyncs/Minidumps

from Sins Forums

Hey y'all, I need you all to help me send in Minidump files.  Stardock is ACTIVELY trying to find the problem, but the more games they have, the more data they have to compare.  If you minidump, please have ALL players zip their minidump file and send to Mat at: mmason AT stardock DOT com.  If you desync, save the game and have each person send their save via zip file to the same address.  If you do send a file, please reply to this thread so that I know it has been done and that people are sending in files.  The desync is really what I'm after, as I suspect they are what is causing the minidumps, but I'll take both.

 

ORGINAL MESSAGE FROM STARDOCK:

"De-sync’s are just about the most difficult bug to track down.  Any more samples you have help a lot – if they are all Diplomacy – you can just keep sending them to Mat – If any are Sins original or entrenchment – send them my way."

Sins Original and Entrechment send your files to josie AT ironcladgames DOT com.

 

Thanks guys.

I'm fairly certain that there is a mini dump related to giving away resources, I noticed that the game is more likely to crash while giving away the at any other time, probably 1/3 to 1/2 of my mini dumps happen while I'm actively giving resources to another player, given that at most I spend 1/20 of my time actively feeding another player its probably the source of some of the mini dumps.

This.

Developers need to understand that they can sometimes count on the community to do some of the grunt work!
