Pinpointing a CTD error

[anansethespider]

Lots of people playing my modpack are reporting a random CTD error that occurs around turn 150. Is there a crash log that I can direct them to that might help me determine WTH is causing the game to crash? How would yall go about pinpointing the source of this error?

random CTD ? meaning you can't reproduce it from a savegame ?

oh, no I didn't mean that. I assume its reproducable. I just don't know what log/firetuner tool helps me identify it.

Ananse -- I was playing a game on Sunday and had the repeated CTD (I can't remember if it was at turn 150 or not). Anyway, I would reload and reload from my last autosave and it would crash. I then reloaded from an autosave from 4 turns previous, and was able to "play through" the CTD. At the time, I just figured there was some random "perfect storm" that it was getting stuck on. Will let you know if I come up with it again, but a possible "fix" might be for the player to reload from an older autosave, and just change a few things up to avoid the "perfect storm"

Yea that does generally work. I just wish we could pinpoint the exact cause well enough to fix it. If it is a "perfect storm" sort of thing then it should be easy to identify!
