Modded Crashings
« on: June 25, 2009, 09:43:44 pm »

So I didn't know whether to put this in the bug section or here.

The deal is I have a heavily modded game I am playing right now (from 3 or 4 different authors and some of my own work). My problem is the game is crashing occasionally. I have checked the error logs and they are blank. Any idea what the problem could be, I am playing 40d11 and have noticed it happens sometimes when I push to many buttons to quickly.

Sounds more like a game bug than a mod bug, I'm not quite sure though.

Oh wait, "insane" doesn't work on this forum.
Crap, can't think of an alternative.

Hmmm. Well I'm trying some things out, hopefully they will stop.

I had my modded V.40d13 crash in worldgen when I had added more attacks to Giant Eagle (bite, grasping claws) and Mammoth (bludgeons with its TRUNK). Try removing some funky non-humanoidbody beasts.

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

I would recommend testing it out a bit.  Try pressing too many buttons too quickly with mods, multiple times.  See if this makes the game crash.  Then try it on a fresh download of the same version that you are currently using, without mods.  This should at least reveal whether the key press is what is triggering the crash (if it doesn't help you figure out why pressing too many keys does that), and at most tell you whether it's a game bug or modding bug.
