Cartographer Map Crash

from Elemental Forums

Everytime I save my map creation, exit out of the editor then try and return to the editor the game crashes.

This is on top of the random crashes while simply creating maps.

At this point in time, it's not worth putting hours into a map due to random crashes. I've put at least 3-4 hours into one of mine only to have a crash kick me back by about 2 hours to my last map save. Very sad considering the amount of work and detail I now have to redo. I believe I'll wait for more patches to work on my custom creations. As is, it's too frustrating.

I have 2 issues with the MOD tools that I was going to email but maybe here somebody will read it.  First off, when I am done making my map and I go to the main menu... its 100% crash to desktop.  No message, nothing.  The other issue I have, is that if I need to edit my map, I go into the map maker, load my map, and its blank.  right map, but empty.  And yes I saved it.  Very bothersome.

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and link the contents into a post here via pastebin. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

The file can be found in My Documents\My Games\Elemental

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug log will be erased and recreated for the new session.

If there was a dump zip created in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic on Windows XP), please post that too.
