Constant crashes.

[Drakedge]

The game plays for like 20 - 25 minutes then crashes. Constantly.

Hi, I'm investigating the cause of a crash rightr now. I suspect its due to autosave crashing, or possibly something to do with supply stockpiles or manufacturing slots. Can you confirm that your layout had at least 1 supply stockpile or manufacturing slot (ir: something not on the production line that makes raw components)?

I've just fixed one rare crash actually. I still cant see *how* it happened, but I've coded a fix for it. Hopefully this is the one. I'm going to update the game in a few days with a whole bunch of improvements.

I have the same problem. If you include a method of submitting crash reports, We could possibly help identify problems. Keep up the good work.So far I Like what i am seeing with htis game.

Yeah, so for my set up on the assembly line I had one of everything that you can build in the start. I had 3 stock piles for different high demand areas, and a really short production line and small foot print. I will try to play the game again today, and take some screen shots for you. I haven't been able to see yet though the cause myself, as it feels random at the moment.

Also I could live stream it, and you could see when and where it crashes? Add me, or let me know when you would be available and I will be happy to help.

I put up a few screens now http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=929696876

Others are in my screen shot area

Pro tip: Make a seperate forum for technical bug reports. That way it is easier to track the stability of the game in general.

done!

I dont suppose this is related to having a (relatively) low frame rate, and running on maximum speed all the time and having a few supply stockpiles does it? If so...I may well have a fix for it.

I have not seen that personally, I don't often run at higher speeds. As far as frame rate I haven't felt a problem with it, but I have not directly watched for it either.

I have had the constant crash problem too, and mine comes when i'm running at higher speeds. idk if that helps at all...

[TheAppleIsALie]

ive had lots of issues with it crashing contantly too. not ure if its because im going at high speed sometimes though.

Has this got better with yesterdays update to 1.20? This is my #1 priority, but I want to be sure some of the fixes in that patch have not already fixed this.

First off thank you for being so active. I really enjoy the concept of the game and with you being this active it's very encouraging.

I will play it today and give you my feedback in about 2 hours or so.

Okay, I got about 10 minutes into the game before the crash. What I did was start a new game, build out the factory on pause, then press play. The game was in the process of filling each station with the needed resources.

The production line had two chasis complete before it crashed.
