Help with crashes

[SalubriCat]

My game crashes whenever I try to save a game.

Your profile may be corrupted. I would delete it, (go into the MOWAS2 files to do so) as a last resort. Before you do that however go into your files and check to see if anything is corrupted. Also verify your game cache.

Hi guys,
have you any solution?
This error started a month ago.. uninstal, delete profile, new gpu drivers, audio drivers, steam cloud off.. and more.. nothing helpful..

[Mopar]

The error log is invaluable for working out what caused a crash in most cases..

Each time you start game it creates a fresh error log ( overwriting the previous ) so its important to have a look immediately after a crash..

error log is located in:

My Documents / My Games / men of war - assault squad 2 / log / game.log

open game.log in a text editor eg. Notepad and copy and paste the last 20 lines here...

hope this helps....

It is like.. some problem with DX11?

[Mopar]

make sure directx is updated to latest and vcredist -

chek game install folder in _CommonRedist folder

if crash happens when you play a mod try no mods and see if same happens.... to rule out the mod being the possible cause....

[Loner]

No..still same error.. save or autosave = error and end game..
dx11 updated and vcredist C++ 2015 ver.14.0.24210
No mod only pure game. Uninstaled,delte profile and again instalet.. still not work..
I am tired for that now.. so many hour I search solution..vainly..

error log is same..

It worked

I had the same problem and it always wrote corrupted jpg files ( 0 bytes in size) even when i manually created a screenshot ingame.
(Windows 10 64bit, Nvidia Geforce)

I had to assign adminstrator priviledges to mowas_2.exe located in
<where you installed steam>\steam\SteamApps\common\Men of War Assault Squad 2\.
to fix the problem.


1. Go to the directory <where you installed steam>\steam\SteamApps\common\Men of War Assault Squad 2\.and right click the mowas_2.exe

2. Select "Properties" / "Eigenschaften"

3. Select the "Compatibility" / "Kompatibilität" - Tab

4. Choose "run as administrator" / "Programm als Administrator ausführen!

5. Then click "Ok"

You will have to allow Mowas 2 to use admin priviledges everytime it starts but it works for me


I also had to assign the admin privilegdes to the mowas_2_ed.exe for the editor to run.
