B4 impressions and CTD...

from Stardock Forums
Brad:

B4 has a good/better feel and flow- all AI's are on average setting; overall feels much tighter; new pop-up screens are very nice, and opening screen is great, and pleasing to the eye.

Even on 'average' setting the AI is a challenge (much more so than ever before); though the AI ability to zoom in and colonize planets seemingly at will is a bit too much- had one AI snag a system right next to my Home planet (was fortunate in having two 15/16's nearby... but was able to only get one of them) and not one AI Survey Ship to be seen till much later.

Here is the CTD- unfortunately I don't remember what was going on at the time... circa 5am or so. I've pasted the entire .cra file- currently I'm set for append... but will change that now since there is no way to differentiate what version crashed at this end: so the last entry is for B4, the rest are the last two B3 versions.

I attempted to submit the report, but it didn't seem to take; or no notification that it was sent; did I do something wrong?

Hope this helps,

Jean-Claude

The first crash is in ClearTileMap. Do you know what was happening at the time?

Brad:

No I don't- that was in B3?, and was a way's back. Any way to notate the date and time, and version # on the appended crashes within Smartexception?

When you say 'First Crash"- you mean the beginning of the File? If so, that is a B3 late version crash (I'm assuming exceptions are appended to the eof?). The last entry is a B4, and it was late. I posted two more for you in another thread.

Jean-Claude,

SmartException has an option to toggle appending new exceptions to the report file. Locate the SE icon in the right side of the desktop tray and right click it. Then click the "configure" option and it will bring up the familiar screen you get with a crash. Check the options at the bottom of the SE screen.
