Map-Loading than Crash

Post by Frostwyrm »

Im sorry, when this problem called, i not find it with search.
:oops:

My problem:
When i start a game (for example: speedmetal), than the map will load. Before the game start, spring crash and im back on the desktop.

The map Mars, SmallDivide and Monopoly run, but maps like speedmetal, DryRiverV10 or Shore2Shore crash.
The maps crash in sp and mp. :cry:

What i can do? Someone said i must delete the datas into the subfolder "paths" but that dosnt help.

Thanks for help...

Edit: i tried it with different mods and ais, it change nothing
The game crash when it load/done "calculating estimat path costs "32" 19/20"

Edit again (argh): It can be, that the maps crashed when "creat sky" done.

hmmm I cant really tell whats going on here, are there any messages in infolog.txt?

What OS?

I take it you where hosting a game, hence why someone told you to delete the subfolder paths (theres a bug that makes people connecting to the host drop out in 0.72b1 but fixed in the next version and the commonly accepted fix is for the host to delete path caches so loading takes longer, but the host shouldnt crash from this bug).

What're your specs? ATI graphics card or Nvidia? When did you last update your drivers?

this sounds like the drivers. What version of the drivers are you using?

And have you turned on any of the graphical effects like dynamic water or shadows etc?

How many processes does task manager say you're running?

:o
I think i found the problem.

When i activate dynamic water (into the settings) than crash all maps with water.
Basic Water run perfect.

Thanks for the help, now i can play many maps more.
