Crash to Desktop Thread - Ultimate Apocalypse Mod (DOW SS) for Dawn of War

Hello UA team, since I install 1.84 every time that play with the IG crash to desktop, I try with the FoK maps and the original maps but ever crash the game. I was playing versus Chaos Demon. Can you help me??? I never had problem with this mod, but for strange reason begin the problems with 1.84. Thanks for your attention.

Greetings

I left this two files that are in the Soulstorm dir when I was playing last time, I don't know if this is relevant because ever I play appear this files in my Soulstorm dir (I have so many of this reports!!!)

The same problem happened from version 1.7X until now (1.84), I think.

Sometimes, it's can hold about an hour without crash (no respond), but most of time is crash at the beginning of the game no matter is big or small battle.

Just move the mouse might be crash either.

I already applied "Large Address Aware" on the Soulstorm.exe that can exceeds 2GB memory so should not memory problems.

Yes, happens same to me, 10 or 15 minutes and then crash... I see that UA team don't said nothing, I really hope that they can read this tread and said something ¬¬

Time in and wincons are both good feedback. Are you guys seeing any map or race that is always present when you crash? Even if the answer is no, I feel like it could potentially help the mod team out.

OK, if you read the logs these show the winconditions, only must read. I can't remember the maps that I use (names), only remember that use the new pack of FoK and some maps of the original UA.

It happens to me also, especially with Chaos Daemons present in the game. I dont have any problems with other races except them.

For the people who are crashing more frequently, have you double-checked to make sure ntcore is STILL installed? I know that Steam has stealthily replaced mine at least twice now. Your build number should be 456.

Anyways, I've only had this happen to me once so far. Given that it was only once, not sure if I can see any correlation.

For me, the game has crashed once, but every time, I get a fatal scar error, which pauses the game, then I can unpause and continue playing. But my guess is in multiplayer this would crash the game.

I did a simple test just now. THB, no extra factions, 1.84 patch. Eldar vs. Eldar vs. SOB vs. Tau. pastebin is here: Pastebin.com

thx.

i think Steam did replace my NTCORE, so I'll put it back, and do more testing, and see if the scar errors remain, or report any issues. Thx for the heads up on the build #. Is there a way to prevent steam from replacing the ntcore version?

Turning off automatic updates for the game might work, though I can make no promises.

Well, it looks Daemons are crashing me too

I know most of players not like me. I plays the disk version, not steam version.

Already apply the LAA which can exceed the limitation of 2GB memory.

Also known the disk doesn't have automatic updates setting. But I still crash frequently in any type races and maps when the game beginning about 1 min.

So sad.....

Ok, I confirmed I get the fatal scar error even with the ntcore version. Pretty basic 1v1 skirmish map using vanilla THB 1.84.

Well, the game was running fine a day or two ago, but now it crashes during every battle. Nothing I can tell changed. In addition, my build is 452, instead of the 456 listed above. However, I reinstalled the NTcore multiple times to test it, and the build number didn't change, nor did it fix my issue.

build number with ntcore is 452. And it is not possible to disable automatic update in the steam properties for this game. Same crashing problem here too since patch 1.84. Unable to finish a game in multiplayer. The game will crash to desktop anywhere after 10 to 25 minutes of gameplay. When playing same map, same win conditions with Titanium War mod, no crashes whatsoever.

If any of you haven't already seen these posts, they might be two causes of your problems.

When I play the Imperial Guard or Space Marines, the game crashes to desktop and when I play Tau or Eldar the game works, but after around 10 minutes or so, when I create dreadnougth or chimera, the game crashes to desktop as well. I don't have a steam version of the game and I use 64-bit Windows.

This seems to be a very common problem. We really need a fix, I tried reinstalling with fresh downloads each time and it's clearly not a bad download problem.

I get it more commonly with Necrons but I am sure it happens with other factions too.

I have noticed a very very significant reduction in CTDs after getting NTcore. As has been said before I can still crash if my enemy is someone really sparkly or glowy like the necrons/sob, but it is few and inbetween.

Posting on behalf of my friend: He also crashes mid game. He also has ntcore. Though he plays Tau.

He also has a decent PC, better than mine.

Same symptoms here. version 1.84, I'm using Ntcore exe, and steam version.

Game crashes 10~20 min of the game. To me, Chaos Daemons are the problem. I tried 1:1, 2:2, and 3:3 and all games with Chaos Daemons crashed.

Also, for me, 3:3 crashes the game. 1:1 and 2:2 are fine but 3:3 frequently crashes.

Confirmed, daemons ARE crashing the game almost 10 minutes in.

hey ua team so i keep having a dump file issue with the custom maps or when i get 10-20 mins of the game i have never had this issue before and my soulstorm is on steam and ur extra ram download for the mod wont install on windows 10 it stops it plz help me fix this

I've got crashed 3 times, all 3vs3, with chaos daemons AI.
