Crash, crash and more crash :/

Hi there,

I have a problem playing Wesnoth. The game crashes after some time I play it (sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after an hour).

AppName: wesnoth.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: wesnoth.exe
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0005ab91

Is the only thing I can copy from the crash info file, the rest I just can send as a bug report to microsoft.

The game version is 1.1.5 (the newes I think)

Now comes the funny part:
I have the same problems at my home PC and on my notebook. It just crashes.

So what can I do?

I really like this game but where is the fun playing a game that crashes all the time :/

The crashs happen in windowed mode and in Fullscreen mode.

I hope somebody can help me.

My DxDiag.txt (from the notebook) is added in my post as an Attachment.

(I had to delete some of the headlines, the file had some more then 50 KB ;/)

Greets,
Nimiria

Wesnoth doesn't use directx, so some relevant information are needed before someone can say anything on your problem.

What version of Wesnoth do you play? Post your stderr.txt.
When do the crashes happen, i.e. what do you play? Mainline campaigns, add-on campaigns, multiplayer online/offline...

Actually, SDL does use directx on windows.

Hi,

So now I post my stderr.txt from my PC now. If needet I can later post the same from my notebook, too (it is the same game version).

The crashes happen at szenarions both in multiplayer and in single player. If you want I will write down the exact names of them from now on. The crashs are on more then on szenario.

Very often it crashes at "The Wilderlands". Even when I just watch the AI playing. Perhaps somebode whants a savegame? I crashed this morning there in miltiplayer, tried to play the savegame from the map then in single player (letting the AI play), and it crashed 2 minutes later again.

Err, is this from a game run where you crashed? The file gets overwritten everytime you start the game..

No sorry

Did not know this. I will post the file after the next crash again then

Well, here we go

Not even 5 minutes possible to continue our game

Seems like there are some problems with your audio. I suggest simply turning it off and see if that helps.
No idea what could cause this, corrupted music/sound files maybe..

So the only way to play is without audio? :/

Is there no way to replace all the files? Perhaps I had a bad download, downloaded both (PC and notebook) from the same mirror.

And the next :/

Reinstalled the game, and then it crashed again with another message in the txt (I loadet one of the savegames).

Obviously not but we're trying to trouble shoot your specific problem, I haven't heard of this before.

There is nothing special in your next stderr.txt. Really, just try without sound and see if that helps or provide more information.. (you might not know which and neither do I)

I reinstalled the game totally new and for now it runs (the savegame did not, I deleted it).

A friend of me had the same problem now for the first time on his PC, too.

Could it be some language problem? We come from Germany.

It was just an idea

When the game crahes again I will post the stderr.txt again then and try to play without sound ;/

I can't see how that should be possible in any way but if you think so, well, try and play in english..
