Sorry to hear you're having these crashes/freezes. The first step in us fixing any crash is to reproduce the crash at our end. Unfortunately, in this case we simply haven't yet been able to do that.

To help us get to the bottom of it, please can you get the freeware utility called MyEventViewer ...

This is actually a bug in the client. It should be fixed in the next version, thanks for pointing it out.
I'm making a note of the idea for a description for challenges as a future possibility.
Thanks

Firstly, can you turn off compatibility mode, as that's unlikely to help.
Please try leaving it starting up for 2 or 3 minutes, just in case it's taking longer than usual for some reason. It does take a little extra time to build a cache of historical scenario details after being installed/updated ...

Does this error happen every time?

If so, please manually go to this folder (you can copy and paste):
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Slitherine\FieldOfGlory\
Then, manually delete the file start.fogsg.

The error message that you're getting indicates the game cannot write to that file. I can ...

Thanks for that. When I open your game vs dav956 on Lion (though not with identical hardware), the crash doesn't happen for me. However, we've made some small changes that might help in the latest version.

When Eternal Empire is released, FoG will update to 1.6.0. We intend to release this on the ...

P.S. please also try doing a Software Update, just to make sure no graphics driver updates are available.

Thanks for the info. It looks like the crash might be caused by us drawing the camp symbol on the mini-map. To confirm this, please can you try starting a historical game vs the AI, and let us know whether that crashes when the game loads?
Then please try starting an Army Generator game vs the AI ...

The way the game is implemented right now, the criteria for supporting defenders is purely and simply that they must be one of the other BGs that the attacker could have melee-attacked instead.

It's possible for one defender to be attacked multiple times in a single player turn, so therefore the ...

The defender should be supported by:
any other BG that the attacker could have melee-attacked instead.

The attacker should be supported by:
BGs that close-combat attacked the defender earlier this player turn, and are still adjacent and not routed
BGs that could yet melee attack the defender ...

Sorry we missed this. If you happen to see it again, please reply here. I'll be notified and try to respond quickly.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I was away on holiday (a rare event). I guess I've missed this, as we can only access the current and second-last game states, and in both of those the game seems to have moved on since the screenshot.

I've ticked the box to be notified when a reply is ...
