Title: Win 7/64 Crashing after loading tactical screen.
Post by: BrotherWu on July 10, 2011, 08:26:50 pm
Any ideas?  I have tried running in XP compatability mode.  Running on a laptop with an Nvidia Quadro FX 880M.

You should share your ufoconsole.log. It may contain information about the nature of the crash. It is also important which version do you play and how it crashes.

Same problem.  Windows 7 64-bit crashes at tactical mission start every single time.  Geoscape and base management seemed fine.  Running version 2.3.1.  Not sure where to find my ufoconsole.log (I don't find that file in any of UFO AI's directories).

Seems this is already reported other times, assuming this is the same bug:  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3019699&group_id=157793&atid=805242 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3019699&group_id=157793&atid=805242).

please retry with 2.4-dev (http://ufoai.ninex.info/snapshots/ufoai-latest-win32.exe) and check whether this error still exists.

does this happen every time you try to load the map? only this map? any map? does it only happen after you performed some specific actions?

Same bug here except this only happens when running Full Screen - Windowed shows no problems with crashing. My monitor is a Curtis 19" multimedia TV and my resolution in Windows 7 64-bit is 1360 x 768.

I have the same issue.  Windows 7 64bit with ATI Radeon 6800.  Game crashes immediately upon entry to tactical screen, whether it is campaign or skirmish, game crashes. 

Log:
http://www.mediafire.com/?yd82num2csi6g2o

:edit: full screen and windowed mode both crash.
:edit: doesn't matter which map.  any campaign map and any skirmish map causes a crash to Desktop.

Same problem. Map loads, then boom:

ERROR: Unknown model type in R_DrawEntities entity chain: 0
Shutdown server: Server crashed.

Tried in fullscreen and windowed. Various video settings and resolutions between 1920x1200 and 1024x768 makes no impact.


Unable to reproduce in the latest build due to it locking up immediately after the loading screen with garbage on both the screen and audio until I kill the process.


2.3.1, crash on map: http://pastebin.com/6T2fCQCj
Latest build, startup crash:  http://pastebin.com/NKJ8c32L

I have the same problem.

Is there any solution available?

It seems only to occur with in the Full screen mode or when I change the solution.

I got pumped up by the news of an XCOM94 remake by Firaxis/Sid Meier so redownloaded UFO:AI to get my juices flowing. A few hours into v2.3.1 however and I had half a dozen crashes. All from tactical layer. Geoscape and bases is fine just the 3D combat is causing me problems.

playing on my laptop with win7 64bit OS and the latest NVIDIA driver. Dont have the log file on here coz I deleted all the files after many reinstalls. But someone mentioned R_DrawEntities and I think I saw that in my logs.

Here's hoping a fix is forthcoming  :'(
