Game Keeps Crashing

[MX-Alpha]

I just got this game and it will run for like five minutes and crash every time, what do i do

[D.Mussen]

My game crashes alot too. I think I might wait for a more stable version.

What are you doing when the game crashes? This version has been very stable on my end. We will try to reproduce your problem, but it could be an isolated issue.

i was editing a coaster twice and another time i was laying down some paths

I wanted to add that I am experiancing the same issue. My first time ever playing. I just started the game, and watched the quick start vid. After the vid I started making my map just like the vid did, just to get the feel of things. I was using the path tool that lets you select pieces to place rather than the more adjustable tool. I placed 2 straits, then selected a hub piece, decided I didn't want it yet and clicked on the outline for the strait for the first time. It was the first time selecting the strait even though I just placed it twice because it already had the strait piece selected when I opened the tool. That is exactly when it crashed. I wouldn't call it random, but an issue with that tool I was using.

Not sure yet, but the coaster probably uses the same tool. Maybe that is why "sharterFTW" had crashes with the paths and the coasters. That tool I am talking about reminds me a little of Roller Coaster Tycoon's way of making coasters, only this tool has more to it than that. I will come back to add more if there is more to add on this issue.

I hope this helps, I am a huge fan of Roller Coasters. I had been watching this since release, but was not interested till it had coasters to build. I may try the other tools till this one is fixed.

@derakoduran I don't have any crashing problems using the path tool. Could you please post you computer specs as that might help to isolate the problem.

As I understand it, you had 2 straight path pieces placed chose to build a hub and then changed your mind. Had you already pressed build before choosing your next straight path?

@SharterFTW, posting your specs also might help.

To you both, so far my game hass been very stable, the only time I had any crashes was when I tried doing several things at the same time. Take it slow and don't rush things. Remember this is not like a RPG or FPS where quick timing is a must.

Yeah, to know about the specs of each of you who has posted here that he has problems, would help a lot!!!
Also the driver version that you are using and which OS!

Good call @abletudu - I am a tech support agent, and after your comment I had realized I didn't actually test the issue for the exact cause. So I crashed the game over a dozen times to find out what does and doesn't cause this issue.

So all that is necisary for me to reproduce the issue is to first make sure I am far enough away that I can place any "Specialty Segments". I click on that specialty segment, and instead of building it, select any regular path pieces right afterwards. If I actually build it, I am OK and can continue to build.

I do not have a problem doing that same thing if I go select more than 1 "Specialty Segment" and then choose the normal pieces.

Error that comes up says...
// Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library "This is the bar at the top"
// Runtime Error! "Image of red 'X' to the left of this sentance"
// "Path to my install which is not on the same drive as the OS"
// R6025
// - pure virtual function call

Also my computer specs are below, I can get the DxDiag if you want that much info, but that is a little personal. Also, my computer had been rebuilt and I had re-installed Windows about a month ago. I also keep it clean with CCleaner from Piriform and use a Registry Cleaner.

OS - Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
CPU - AMD A10-6800K - Richland 32nm Technology
RAM - 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-10-24)
Motherboard - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. A88X-PRO (FM2+ )
Video Card - 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (ASUStek Computer Inc)

I have an embedded graphics chip (Intel HD 4400) on a 4th gen i5 processor. I do not have any major crashing issues. There have definitely been major performance improvements over time and I am sure there are more to come.

[derakoduran]

At least it isn't as bad as I initially thought. Save often, be slow, and do not replicate my issue.

@ Deralpduran I tried to reprodue using the steps you outlines and it did not crash on me, it's wonderful though that you took the took to isolate what is causing it to crash for you. I wish others would do this, it's still early access and there are some bugs but for the most part I think the majority of us have found that game to be very stable for an early access title. Providing steps like you did will really help the developers find and fix these types of things before release making a better game for all of us.

To make sure I understand and can retest though you place any coaster type, select a speciality piece but don't build then select a regular track piece and it crashes? Thank you Derakoduran.

I have some crash/game stopped working also. Seems to be doing it when toggling between coaster track and paths. It seems like the game is confused when going from coaster track editing and path edit/build.
