The relative frequency of CTD's and OOS's on Vista vs XP under FfH2 0.31

[EverNoob]

I'm running Vista, DirectX 10 and 0.31d.

When I reach a certain point in the game I get consistent CTDs. I basically get stuck on a turn and can't continue the game anymore because I get CTDs everytime I try to end the turn.

One Game i tried playing Hyborem and got CTD really often... In "normal" Games i have no Problems, not a single CTD

As for OSS. Im Playing with a Friend, Huge Map, Hell Terain Disabled and we are far in den Lategame and we didnt encounter even a single OOS. Smoth playing all the time...
Both of us have Vista.

It would be helpful to me if people listed their directX version (dxdiag will tell you).

Mine is directX 10

On a lark can someone getting the hell terrain CtD try this test patch:

Test Patch: Patch "d test"

 

[Kael]

Here is a better fix that hpefully keeps the burning sands ability while avoiding the crashes:

Test Patch 10: Patch "d test10" (never expire burning sands)

Is this happening after Infernal Pact + hyborem. if so you should be able to continue your saves with kael's patch 10.

Also, it might not work well with some old saves, I got one with an old save and Kael is getting a crash with that and he's checking it out.

I'm just giving a little warning since it does fix the issue with new games, but it might break old saves.

I had a hard time picking either "seldom" or "very frequently." I chose "seldom" because the CTDs doen't happen that often, but usually when it starts happening to a certain gam it keeps happening, making the game unplayable. I have vista.

Hey! Thank you for that patch! I had a save game that would crash every single time I ended turn even though I had never seen any burning anything, but I guess someone else must have been doing it, because it works now! I'm having so much fun!

(Also, I'm running Vista.)

Please! We need more people to vote on this. If you have any experience with CTD's (Crash to Desktop) or OOS's (Out of Sync - Multiplayer only) please drop by and vote. The results will simply be more likely more valid.

XP, most CTD come during Quickloading. And I think most OOS from connection "burps"

Win XP, dx 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
No crashes to desktop
quite alot OOS-issues in multiplayer - sometimes reconnecting helps (just 2-5 more OOS' until finishing), most of the time it just gets worse (OOS every 1-3 turns in the mid-late game, thus we normally give up)

Removing hell terrain from the game (or preventing Hyborem entering the game) helps with OOS, but still a few remain each game.

The latest patch seems to have fixed my problems, it even seems to have fixed old saves. OTOH I haven't played all that much.

DX 9.0c Windows XP. Saving and QUICKLY exiting/loading makes my computer reset instead.

My specs:
Vista Enterprise
Intel Core Duo 3,16Ghz with 4GB Ram
8800GT with 512MB DDR3
DirectX 10
FFH2 version 31e

With the prior version (d) I had the same issue . . . Basically the game runs fine, but at some point in late game I have a CtD (between turn 450 to 525) . . . Since I play on Huge maps, usually Terran (supposedly making them even larger), I figure it's a performance issue, though since I only just bought my PC I would've thought it could handle it . . .
I've recently started a game on a large map, hoping this will help - I figure there's no need to install DirectX 9.0c as well, after the new e patch for FH2 has come out . . .

EDIT: Since the large map didn't seem to pose a problem (albeit I never actually finished that game), I opted to try out another Huge one with all factions involved . . . Have yet to see how that'll turn out . . .

I rarely get CTD, though I did get one today in the very late game when reloading.

Only option I chose was Wildlands but Hyborem hadn't entered game.

64XP, DirectX9.0c, patch "e"
