A New Dawn Bug Reports and Feedback

[rtt4a]

Yes

But theres a place for stealth bomber with capability to operate on carriers. That is also real life difference between bomber and fighter-bomber.

I've been getting a CTD everytime I try and start a custom game using the random map script generator. I tend to play huge/giant maps, but the game seems to load fine if I used a "normal" map type (e.g. fractal, continents). I attached the dump file, I hope it is helpful. although this is from the latest version, it seems to be something I can recall happening on previous versions. I apologize if this is a known bug and/or on the "to do" list. All of those involved in building this mod are awesome, and I thank you all a lot for many weeks of gameplay.

I'll have a look, thank you.

I am playing on Giant earth map on latest version, at deity and eternity. I am getting this CTD. It keeps crash at the same point.

I attached the save file.

Update to the latest revision, that CTD has been solved in the latest SVN update. I've tried your save and with the latest revision it doesn't crash anymore.

Even with a watercooled sandy 2500k and 12gb of memory I gave up on gigantic maps. By the time I reach the early industrial period it just bogs down into mush.

However large maps with 6 civs (5 AI's) I can have a great time.

I even lost my last monarch game. Got bogged down in a war with Brenus that evolved all the way to the modern era. Bastard still manged to start his spaceship as I was struggling on mine. The the Egyptians got into a 3 way war with him and I and they started nuking each other. Damn glowing clouds started popping up near my cities.

Only to have Saladin pull off a culture swoop victory lol.

Need to grab the latest build

I have found a bug that might already be told but sometimes the turns just don't work. The game is waiting endlessly and the next don't come.
It happened two times in my games but i managed to workaround it by loading old saves the first time.

Now i can't go to the next turn and the game don't CTD neither.

Thanks for looking at it.

Latest build with Koshling's graphical paging should help a lot on gigantic maps; let me know how it goes.

I've played some turns without any issue...

 

[dbkblk]

Ok thanks, that's strange. I'll try to find why !

Once i finish this current game I will try a gigantic map again with 12 civs.

See if and when it turns into the 3 minute per turn. If not I will be a very happy camper

I've tried again to load my game and it doesn't go the next turn. There's no error, no output in log files, no CTD... May do you have an idea to find the reason ?

Does it just hang/freeze or does it take you back to your desktop?

Does this happen when you click the Red Button to end the turn?

How much ram and video ram do you have?

Please look in your Main BtS directory (where the exe is) for a Minidump.dmp file. If there is one and has the date of your last freeze/hang/CTD, then .zip, .rar or 7z it and upload please.

Once i click to end my turn, the game compute some of the values for the AI (research, gold, etc. change their values) but that does nothing else. I can move on the map, enter informations screens (but not BUG options). Note that i can't zoom in or out neither. The earth cursor keep spinning indefinitly and the game show "Waiting for others civilizations".

It does not freeze nor crash to desktop and don't create any logs (no minidump).

I have a laptop with:
Processor: Intel i7-2670Q x4 2.2ghz
Dedicaded video card (used with civ 4): Nvidia optimus GeForce GT 540M with 2gb of VRAM
Integrated video car: Intel HD3000
4gb of RAM
Windows 8.1 64bits

Try clearing your cache and reloading the game. Also try recalculating (ctrl+shift+t) before ending the turn. See if it helps and please let me know. Thank you.

P.S. Otherwise I'll just play 1 turn for you, will upload the save and see if you can play on from there.

The "Waiting for others civilizations" referred to as WfoC was a big problem for C2C for sometime too. Iirc some of them had to do with REV. The C2C team had to redo some of the REV code.

Do you have REV On in this game?

Something I think we need to do in a future revision is differentiate the various Sanitize worker abilities. I was trying to figure out what they all meant and I had to dig into the XML and Python code to figure out what was going on. They look they are only triggered by various advanced nuclear weapons. I think this is what happens:

• BBM: Sets terrain feature of land to Infectious Smog and sets terrain type of water to Slimy Coast.
• Poison Nova: Sets terrain feature of land to Plagued Smog and sets terrain type of water to Slimy Ocean.

And then the sanitize worker actions are:

• Aquaculture: Can sanitize Slimy Coast and Slimy Ocean.
• Artificial Life: Can sanitize Plagued Smog.
• Gene Manipulation: Can sanitize Infectious Smog.

I think we should find a way to differentiate these in game text. I'm not even sure if I am completely right - someone who has actually used these weapons in gameplay may need to correct me.

Sadly, it doesn't work.

@Joseph: Yes i have Rev on. There are many emerged civs in this game.

I've tried:
- Upgrade to rev670
- Enable/Disable graphic paging
- Press CTRL SHIFT T

No changes :S

I haven't used the Biological Nukes since err.... I think 20 or 30 revisions ago, but if I'm recalling correctly Aquaculture allowed work boats to sanitize the infected water tiles, and Gene Manipulation was for the land based infection. I'm not sure about the Plagued tiles though.

I do remember raising this question in the forums some time back when I had launched a BBM at a coastal city on the other continent and many turns later I saw the infected tiles spreading dangerously close to my shores but couldn't sanitize them because the "water" Sanitize and the "land" sanitize required two different techs and I didn't realize that


Sanitize Ocean maybe?



As a slight off-topic, what exactly is the NLOS Cannon unit supposed to be? The pedia entry says nothing about it or what it's name stands for, and neither does C2C's. I've been curious about this unit's origins since I first played AND and yet I still don't know anything about it
My mind wants to say the NL stands for Non-Linear but the OS half I can't think of anything.

I think it's supposed to be Non-Line-of-Sight. The XM501 was a US Army/Navy project before it was cancelled in 2011. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM501_Non-Line-of-Sight_Launch_System
