[Crash] CTD on new turn

from Elemental Forums

Sorry, I don't remember if I moved manually or the move was automatically triggerred by a former order, or it was a hero moving alongside my unit. As the game crashed, I couldn't see exactly what happened.

Here's the end of the debug.err, with a nice error line:

I could upload the zip somewhere, but the Dropbbox you suggest looks ugly. There's just a video to see what it does with, probably, some sound giving explanation, but I can't hear that so it's out of the question to use this thing. the text that goes along doesn't help much, I've got no idea why I should download something to upload data in the first place. If you've got alternate options for uploading stuff, please share.

I've had no problems with Dropbox, and find it easy to use.  You install the software, give it a valid email address, and it creates a Dropbox folder on your desktop.  Within that folder are a "Getting Started.rtf" file and a "Public" folder.  Within the Public folder is a "How to use the Public folder.rtf".

Any file that you drag and drop into the Dropbox folder, the Public folder, or any other folder that you create in the Dropbox folder is automatically replicated to their server.  If you install Dropbox on another computer and give it the same email id, it will replicate all the files to that machine.

For use in reporting problems to Stardock, you just drag a file to the Public folder, then after it replicates (a green checkmark will appear when it's complete), you right click on the file, select Dropbox->Copy public link, and then paste that link into one of these forum posts.

You get 1G of space free, and if you find it useful you can purchase more online space.  I don't plan to, but the option is available.

If you install Dropbox via this link, you and I both get an extra 250MB of free space in addition to the 1G.

BTW, I have no connection to the company that offers Dropbox, and I'd never heard of it until reading about it on these forums.

There's zips but none is dated today.

It's been my experience that you only get a dump on a CTD.  Lockup/hangs and the Windows message box "Turn based fantasy strategy game has stopped working" don't generally produce a dump file.
