Crashing every 5 turns or so

[keyser42soze]

I'm using the following mods on a Mac (OS X Lion):
Civ V Unofficial Patch v2.5.2
G&K Enhanced Mod v1.13.4
InfoAddict v19
R.E.D. Modpack v25
Throne Room v2

I just finished a game, but after turn 130 or so the game would crash every handful of turns (and it was a ridiculously peaceful game, so turns were going quickly...has anyone else ever had alliances with 6 of the 7 AI players?). After a crash, I'd clear the cache and load the last autosave. Deleting the ModUserData folder didn't make any difference, nor did moving all other mods out of the MODS folder.

There didn't seem to be a consistent pattern of what crashed the game: it happened sometimes when the AI was moving, sometimes when I loaded the espionage overview or the throne room, sometimes when I opened a city's page. The attached log file is from before a crash when I tried loading the tech tree, but there doesn't seem to be anything obviously wrong there.

Note that I started the game with a previous version of the CivUP from Steam, and updated when I ran into the Wat Phra Kaew bug. I used a standard size map, shuffle (ended up with archipelago), normal speed, standard settings.

Any thoughts about how to avoid problems in my next game? Thank you!

Welcome to the forums keyser42soze.

I have never used the Throne Room mod before so I don't know how compatible that one is, however I do use all of the other mods you do.

Make sure you don't have any dupliccate copies of any of the mods you use and make sure any mods you are not using are also out of your mods folder.

Could be the farm bug problem if it's happening consistently around the same time, but if it's crashing repeatedly and when interacting with the UI, I doubt it. Glad the Wat bug was fixed . It sounds mostly like UI glitches crashing it.

I don't think updating mid-game should have caused repeated crashing with the changes in 2.52, but perhaps try a fresh game with the new copy and see if it repeats. Sometimes, or usually, updating mid-game can cause problems with the save and sometimes not.

Throne Room shows up a lot in the log with errors, but that could just be that mod isn't polished itself (or reports a lot of things) rather than causing crashes. I've not used it either. Maybe try disabling it and see if it's causing some instability or unforeseen conflict? That'd be important to find out.

Thanks for your replies. Throne room was showing up a lot in the log because I was trying to crash the game, and I had crashed a couple times when going to the throne room before. Next game, I'll skip the trip down memory lane and play without the throne room, and see if that helps. I'll send an update partway through next game on whether things are running smoothly.

I'm having mostly the same problem. With the mod enabled, my games will randomly crash after a few turn (it seems linked with loading the leader scenes, but isn't replicable, by which I mean loading a save game just before it crashed will work, but will just crash later). No crash without the mod.

OSX 10.8
Steam version 1.0.2.44
Only mod is CivUP 2.5.2

Tested with the latest beta, same result.

BladeRnr, is logging properly enabled?

There's nothing in the lua file, which either means the mod didn't load at all or logging isn't running.
