Game Crashing

[bringit]

Anyone have tips regarding the game crashing/freeezing during the AI's turn? Has happened on 2 consecutive games now. Have to end the application through task manager. Was playing Woodland, Dungeon and Highland additions.

Me too, i have tried disabling expansions and it keeps happening at any time, game freezes, i have to close it with the task manager and i cant continue the game nor doing load. It started to happen to me from the Woodland expansion, but even if i deactivate it, it keeps happening. Reinstalling the game doesnt work either. Any ideas?

Me too, when it happens to me, it seems to be associated with The Woodland expansion cards. This last time I drew Shaefoal, however it was drawn in the Hidden Valley. No other effect could have been in play. No player was even near the Woodlands for a very long time.

Same problem. The game has become unplayable. I was several hours in and now I cannot continue, so frustrating.

There's a possibility that the freeze is related to certain card combinations which means we can reproduce and fix this.

If you get a freeze and that tanks that save (every time you load up it leads to the same freeze) could you go into the save and then screenshot the board, screenshot the inventory and then screenshot the log?

We should be able to reproduce any problem with that information and fix it.

If it's general game stability then we will have to investigate another way but the above is a more likely scenario.

I have had fatal freezes twice. If you check my screenshots I have one showing the events leading to this... and it happened again to me just now... but I couldn't get a shot of it this time. I think it is woodlands related. All was fine - a few hours into play - until I tried to take the next card and should have been pulling from my own 9 card pile after getting the card ( sorry don't remember name) which enables a pile of 10 cards to be pulled and you can use fate to discard any you don't want.. I'd pulled a few of these no problem but on the 3rd or 4th I got a freeze.
I had to shut using task manager - Restarted and tried different actions - but it always froze when it came to clicking 'draw card'... there was no way around it.
I feel it might have something to do with the amount of cards drawn somehow - as last time it happened after 'wise willow' was pulled - and then pulled again in the same turn.
I reported that bug via the form - but thought I'd write on here to add my voice.
Most bugs are a mere annoyance ... but this one is fatal!

I think since you initially posted we have made an open beta - could you move over to this build and let us know if you are still seeing the same issues?

I entered this a while back from a thread called "Skuld causing game-ending crash:

I encountered this same Skuld Bug, here is what happened.

Round 4 Turn 3: AI Tavern Maid arrives at the Woods and draws Skuld, the history shows she discarded only "Forest Goat" but I did notice she had 2 light and 2 dark fate at that point I thought she may have discarded 4 cards. I made mental note as I had seen the Bug report. (BTW choosing Forest Goat Strength 2 to discard at this early point of the game seems unusual, especially given the cards that were kept as you will soon see.) I numbered the cards below for reference.

Round 5 Turn 3:
AI Tavern Maid arrives at the Thicket and draws:
1 Faerie Feast - encounters this card as normal
2 White Stag Craft 2 -has a Standoff

Round 6 Turn 3:
AI Tavern Maid arrives at the Woods and draws:
3 Redcap Strength 4 - which she defeats and turns in for a Strength

Round 7 Turn 3:
AI Tavern Maid arrives at the Dense Forest and draws
4 Baba Yaga - Rolls a 9 = lose 1 fate (Remember AI TM had the option to discard this one-every option on this card IS a loss.)
5 Leprechaun - Rolls a 1! Toaded! AI Tavern Maid has 3 light fate and 1 dark fate but cannot reroll because of Fortune's Fool (Drawn by AI Dwarf in this same round: For 2 rounds no replenishing, gaining nor paying fate to reroll for 2 rounds)
I hear the Ribbit and see the toad.

And the Game Freezes Here...

6 Personal Journel - Never got to it as it drops
Cards 7, 8, 9 were never drawn.

So the Skuld Card Bug is confirmed from my vantage point. I also remember the game freezing just before this event on my turn to roll for movement. But I restarted and the game and did move on. This was after the Skuld card was drawn, again I was aware of the Bug and looking for issues after reading the original post here. I think that happened twice before the Toad Freeze. This freeze, after many attempts, so far will not move on.

All expansions except Harbinger used, No Reaper No Werewolf NPCs. Dark is Light - Dark fate works as if it were light fate. I usually play myself and 2 AIs. The Ending was Domian of Dragons. I'll save this game if possible to report any other issues, I am able to see the beginning of the game to the freeze point. The Screenshots are just before the second of the freeze.

Another fatal crash happened to me just now - I have a screenshot uploaded with how this happened (don't know how to put it on here but it is public on my profile) - Happened on AI Martyr's turn (in the woodland- after trading his trophies - End Turn... freeze). I do hope the new game engine resolves these issues - I was enjoying the game :(

I've played a ton with all expansions save Woodlands and (err - doomy expansion that most players don't seem to like) and seem to have very few crashes.
