[1.31] If your game crashes - Post here

We figured out the TEMP Folder Full Error.
See here for more details.


Please include the following files:

*Documents/My Games/Company of Heroes/warnings.log
*Temp/RandomLettersAndNumbers.dmp (see below)

How to get the DUMP file

  1. Hold Windows Key and click R

  2. Enter "%Temp%" (without " " and with % %)

  3. Find the .dmp file that was created at the time of the crash



Additional Information
Please fill out the follow information as well.

*What map were you playing?
*Which factions were involved?
*What were you doing when the crash occurred? Try to be as accurate as possible!
*Do the crashes happen during every or almost every game?


Doing this helps us figure out the cause of the crashes easier, and fix them.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Thanks for the clarification  :)

(by the way, is it safe to empty the Temp folder from all those files ? can we delete them without having problems ?)
#35431

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

The general rule of delete files from the temp folder is
"If it haven't been changed since you started the computer you can remove it".

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Game crashed in Cossbot? In middle of battle. See attached warning log. Now can't launch EF Launcher without it crashing. Stuck in loop. So can't play mod, looking for fix for that in forums.
Also, have ben getting a language file is incorrect error, not sure what that means.

Fixed.

@macbiz,

Wrong warnings.log, you must post it right after the crash, it gets overwritten each time you start CoH, even if it's without errors.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Hi,

Our group have just updated from 1.04 to 1.1.1 hoping that the crashes would fix... However, we are still getting the crashes every game.

It is ALWAYS towards the end.  Generally once one team is going for the throat to end the game.

The last instance was with 3 human vs 3 human players on Ala Wai Canal.

I was the host and I did not crash.  The 3 russian players on the OTHER side did crash however...  Attached is my (non-crashing host log)

The next post will contain the requested files from one of the players who actually did crash. 

Hopefully this will assist in giving you information from both sides of the crash and assist in finally fixing this terrible problem.


Post Merge: [time]1275915250[/time]

Here are the files for one of the players who crashed...

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

I have another problem: every time I want to start Eastern Front over the Play EF button in the Launcher this message comes: "eastern front launcher has stopped working" - I've win7 but the main game runs on it. So what you think is the prob?? I have launcher 1.10 and the game on 1.11 so what is it?

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Just downloaded eastern front the other day and it loads fine, until about 10 minutes in the game CtDs on me. this happens on every map with any faction if i run EF
it wont let me put up the dmp file but heres the log:

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Always crashes during loading, at about 70% loaded, on any map if there is a Soviet faction in the game, doesn't matter if it's human or an AI. I was running version [IP address redacted] and my vanilla CoH is patched to the most recent version. Also won't make a .dmp file because it says the Temp folder is full even though i emptied the folder just before the crash
#38070

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

I get crashes to when maps load (not all) Leningrad (6) player works, Moscow (2) player works but most of the maps like Stalingrad and Rostov crash or the COH exe crashes when loading the map? I play single player skrimish solo so not sure how the multiplayer side works? Can you add more than one cpu player and change the difficulty to expert cpu? Not sure but I've tryed different combos and it seems its just the particular map that Im playing on that is crashing and not the settings in general.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled once and updated to the latest version you currently have... no problems with that.

Also, I get the temp folder is full error like the guy above me but its not full at all? Keep up the good work though and from the maps I have been able to play it seems like a great mod especially the arty effects and explosions in general.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

*What map were you playing?
Lyon 2vs2

*Which factions were involved?
The Soviets, Sharpshooters, anti-tanks, IS-2,ISU-152, mechanics etc.

*What were you doing when the crash occurred?
Honestly? i was doing nothing specially, just attacking my enemy at my front in the center.

*Do the crashes happen during every or almost every game?
i would say 95% of the time, plus even my friend who plays with me gets it very often now suddenly.

I hope we can solve this issue
Thanks in advance.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

I'm afraid I don't have the warningslog anymore.
Anyway

playing on Achelous river
2 humans vs. 2 cpu's

Russians and Americans against two Wehrmacht

My friend was playing as the Russians and his Zis crew lost their gun, but three man survived. With the survivors, he tried to pick up an empty Pak. At the moment the crew wanted to pick it up, the game crashed.

This is the first time I've seen this happen (it is also the first time I've seen a heavy weapons crew survive the death of their weapon).

Apologies in advance if this has already been posted/answered somewhere, but I'm typing this in a kind of hurry and I'll forget to do so if I don't do it now :P

Cheers

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Hi -

Just installed EF tonight and started it up, I set up a skirmish game as the Red Army on the Leningrad map and made the game 1v1 instead of 3v3.

The game started and I chose to create the Soviet builder unit, but when it spawned the game crashed and so did my entire PC - I got the blue screen of death.

Any ideas how to fix this? I have no tried to play a game since but will probably try again within the next 30 minutes.
#39710

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

*What map were you playing?
Operation Ground & Pound

*Which factions were involved?
2 x Russian CPU vs 2 x Wehrmacht Humans

*What were you doing when the crash occurred?
Right near the end of the game. We had a battle for about 40 minutes against the computer and then with two buildings to go, one of the human players just crashed for no aparent reason. I am trying to get his log file (I didn't crash).

*Do the crashes happen during every or almost every game?
It happens more often than not with this exact same scenario.

PS. The warnings.log I have attached is for my pc (which DID NOT crash) ... I will attach this prior to getting the crashers log file, etc.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

I am having crashes on some of the new maps. I can
't get in to some of the new maps especially as the Russians but if I try to get in as the Yanks I sometimes get in.

Sorry I can't remember the names but in the 2v2 its the last map, and most of the 4v4.

I have attached the files as requested sorry I am not more specific.
Any help would be appreciated

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

HI,

EF crashes 9 out of 10 times after 15 minutes or so, at any map.
I've installed it on Tales of valor, and that game works fine. There is not much to say then it happens at any map and can happen at any time while playing russians. The soundfx/music starts to repeat itself and the game crashes. After pressing the windows key I can quit the game,and restart.
very annoying , can someone help?

/ ENDLOG

Curiously, two separate .dmp files were created (on both system crashes with EF), but both are empty

However, here's the rundown of a fatal system crash:

Map: Lyon (1vs.1) standard, skirmish mode

Player: Wermach (Terror doctrine)
AI Player: Soviet ( AI chose Urban doctrine on both occasions)

Description:

Started the game by blocking all bridges with sandbags & tanktraps.

Proceeded to reinforce all fuel & ammo points.

Chose the doctrine as "terror".

Used "firestorm" off-map ability to drop the two side-bridges crossing the river. Focused defence on the main crossing with some 2 AT-guns, 2-3 MGs, 2 snipers and three mortars.

Created a gap in the sandbag wall (using pioneers) to invite the AI forces to commit an assault.

THEN: as soon as the soviet forces come in range and my defence force opens up firing, I use the "firestorm" off-map ability to drop some white-phosporous on the opposite side of the bank and BANG: Game goes into freeze, sound into a loop and I am unable to use ctrl-alt-del or alt-tab to force desktop. Only sollution is to cut of the power.

I tried this setup twice and on both occasion (same map, same general course of actions) and the mod crashes at the very instant you hit "Firestorm" button to drop the arty.

Hope this helps to find the cause.

I trust you find this in order,

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Hi!

I have a problem.

I've installed EF, I have all patches and expasion packs to CoH. When I'm trying to play USSR army on any map, on 3/4 of loading bar game crashes, sound stop playing, and if u pres alt+tab u will se:
Coudn't make a bug report.
Please check your TEMP folder.
When I'm playing other factions on new maps, everything is ok.

What should I do?

How much free space is left on your hard drive? What are the specs of your pc?

For me looks like a bottleneck between higher effects and low ram or vram.

Do you use ultra settings? Do you have the latest drivers?

Tannenberg

Quote*Which factions were involved?


US, Soviets, Wehr, PE

Quote*What were you doing when the crash occurred? Try to be as accurate as possible!


Not much action on my side of the map, there was a large firefight on the opposite side between Wehr, Soviets, and US. Unfortunately since I wasn't involved and no temp replay was generated, I can't be very specific. There was a Halftrack, and a group of Volks and Stormtroopers were moving into cover while some Conscripts were doing the same.

Quote*Do the crashes happen during every or almost every game?


This was the first crash I've experienced once the game had started. I've had a few others during load, but this was the first in-game.

This screen shows the ‘Alarm’ options available with SensorsViewPro™.
By default these options are not activated unless done so by the user.
It is advisable to activate this option to alert you should your computer have any critical events occur, such as excessive temperatures or low voltages.

You will notice in this example that the boxes ‘Notify’ and ‘Play Sound’ are marked.
These are marked as a personal choice of this particular user.
The file used for the ‘Alarm’ in this instance is: “C:\WINDOWS\Media\WindowsXPCriticalStop.wav”; however, any ".wav" file may be used; this is entirely up to the user’s individual preference.

Other enhancements of SensorsViewPro™ are the ability to have the monitoring of temperatures, voltages, Fan speeds, and CPU useage shown in Chart form. This feature is accessible by clicking on ‘Charts’ in the Options Panel.

This screenshot gives an example of the Temperature Graph.

Conclusion:

The majority of the settings used in this example are the default settings of the program, which are quite adequate for the general computer user and therefore, they do not really need changing.
However, should you decide to change them, do so at your own risk. It is recommended that you create a Restore Point before any adjustments are made, with this or any other program.
Now that you have tested SensorsViewPro™, you will agree that it is a very user-friendly program.


Notes:

[1.] Although there is no guarantee that the readings given by the SensorsViewPro™ program are correct, the writer has compared the temperature readings with the BIOS SMART status temperature readings, and found them to be accurate to within one degree Celsius.

[2.] The Trial Version of this program is for 21 14 days; however, it is available for purchase from the program developers for a small fee, either during or after the Trial Period. All enquiries in this regard need to be directed to them, as TSF does not sell any software.

The writer would like to acknowledge and thank STV Software for their valuable assistance with the supplying of some of the detailed technical information contained in this article.

The software is a fully functional trial, enough time for "testing" ;), I think we can use it to check if the crashes are related to overheating or something else... Please post your temps,and voltage readings. I think that Everest from Lavalys does the same and more, but it's "complicated"; I hope it helps to diagnose.

As SensorsViewPro doesn't check the video card temp, you can download and use GPU-Z, an utility for video cards, free by the way. While playing you can keep it open to log the information of the sensors from your video card, recording the temp of the chipset, etc. To enable save logs you should click on Sensors tab->Log to File->Choose path.

By the way the links redirect to the most recent version.

Thanks to chauffeur2 from Tech Support Forums for the article.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

What map were you playing?

(6) Kiev

Which factions were involved?

3 Russians, 2 PE (me) 1 Wehrmaht

What were you doing when the crash occurred? Try to be as accurate as possible!

Nothing...during the loading one russians crash (disconnection made appeared).
When game star, I heard only the noise of my Swimmwagen and i don't saw nothing (monitor completely black).
Then , the game brought me back to the desktop and appeared a window that says "The driver of your graphic card has stop to work and now has been successfully rehabilitated"  ??? ???

Do the crashes happen during every or almost every game?

Relic's Bug report appeared after.

PS the game don't save me the replay.
In this way is the first time

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

I get the same problem any map over 4 players (Stalingrad, Berlin etc) and the game crashes, doesnt even finish loading just end up getting "Failed to create dump file (error 183) and then crashes to the desktop. If i play americans or british the map will load but will crash 10mins into playing :(.

I have no problems at all with normal company of heros and i run the settings at high, i did lower the setttings to medium to see if it would work and it it did load Stalingrad. however its a pain to play it in medium graphics especially if normal company of heros works fine :)

Is there a fix for this error or a way around it? any help would be appreciated as the MOD is awesome

I go to start COH EF, the game checks for updates ok, but when I go to play the game it just says that the game is up to date and does not start at all.

Go to the EF Launcher->Settings->CoH Directory->Select the correct path. Do you have Steam CoH?

If you update EF before fixing this you will need to go to CoH folder\EF_Updates and install one by one update starting from EF_Setup([IP address redacted]) :P. If not, after selecting the correct path just click on "check for updates" button.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Hi,

First of all... fantastic work to produce this mod  ;D

The game crashes with a Resource .DLL not found error.  This has only happened on the Prague map, playing as Russians Vs Wher(AI).  It does not seem associated with production of any particular unit (at least by the Russian faction) and i have played other maps with no problem.
The same crash seems to occur after 20mins or 2 hours.

The game hangs, screen goes black and a window pops up (that i couldn't seem to close), saying;

"BugSplatRC resource DLL not found."

The warnings.log file was actualy 18.1meg(gulp) so i have edited it, removing the mass of lines reading
'Warning: upgrade in upgrade prerequisite doesn't exist' and hopefully leaving the rest.

Below is the bugsplat.txt file created when the crash occured

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

I had a 5 man ZiS AT that was destroyed leaving a single crew member behind. I moved the guy back to try and reinforce and could, to a cap of 3.  Then I proceeded to try and re-crew one of my own crew-less mortars with the now useless AT team and the game locked up. The map was Moscow and I was facing Wehrmacht.
Also the gunless crewmembers could not enter buildings of any kind.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Clash, that isn't a crash. Or if it crashed tell blackbishop. You should post it in a topic already like that or make your own topic about it.

The bug is that you are playing with an old version of EF(1.1X). I suggest to update from the launcher or download the last version from ModDB.

@Seeme
Yeah that was a crash :P, hard to believe but if you can replicate it :P. If you have EF 1.10 and upgrade ZiS-2 with four-man-squad to five-man-squad; if you lose the ZiS-2 only one soldier will survive, you can reiforce him up to 5 times(4 soldiers + 1 AT gun :P... yes the lost AT gun is treated as reinforcement :P). Of course, even if you don't reinforce by a 5th. time(avoiding the AT gun) you will have a 5 man squad capable of recrewing any type of heavy weapon but the game will crash :P. Also that squad couldn't garrison anywhere, they're suppose to be AT crew after all ;).

I did not discover the bug by myself, was Artillerist, Original Thread.

I took my time and posted screenshots of that bug if you want to watch them :P.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

Hey, i've got plenty of new crash dmp for you ;)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/369241/EF_CrashDMP.7z

I can't remember what i was doing or playing for the two older but i've got a fresh new crash right now while playing russians on 2vs2 (with and vs IA) at Pointe du Hoc.
I was capturing a point (but the game crashed before the end) and building nothing.

I love this mod, so thanks you. However i have to admit that the game is far more unstable since 1.2 (network problems & CTD).

I tought that it could be linked to the patch 1.0 > 1.1 > 1.2 so i reinstalled the game in fresh 1.2 yesterday.

Re: *NEW NEW* If your game crashes - Post here

I'm not sure but i think i don't have this enabled.
However, i use "Granola" which regulates the energy given to my processor to save power. More infos here: http://grano.la/

Each time i play heavy game, i put granola on "highest settings" which sound equivalent to the "highest power" unmodified windows settings i think.

Do you think this could be linked ?
