Regular crashes

Post by tmoj2000 »

For about 3 weeks now I have regular crashes.... There is no pattern... it happens on different scenarios with different players

However once the game crashes on a particular combination of scenario/player it will continue crashing every turn......

I then have to reload the game itself and relaunch that particular scenario/player...... about half the time it will load and play fine while the other half it will crash on loading

This does not happen on BA nor Panzer Corp.. Only BA2 is affected... And not all scenarios/players are affected

Is this in MP or SP?

well since its with different players as mentionned, it is MP

sometimes an error message appears (unhandled exception)... Just had a case with Bagration City River where I had to load 4 times before I could finally play the turn....

I think this is a bug with the sync checking which is now fixed and will be part of the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Perhaps I have the same problem. For some scenarios--so far Buchholz v1.2 and Chess_AL 1.0--I set up the challenge, someone accepts the challenge, but then when I attempt to open the file to play, it crashes completely, dumping me out of the app. I'm using an ipad with 8.1.3 FWIW. As far as I can tell I have the latest version of Buchholz.
Any idea when the next update might be?

Hello BHacker,

Is this just happening with Multiplayer or do you also have problems with the Singleplayer as well? How much space do you have free on your hard drive? And can you press and hold the hold and home buttons until the Apple logo appears, then allow your device to reboot. This is known as a "Soft Reset" and it clears all temporary files and closes all background apps, while not affecting the stored data. Then please run the game and see if the crashing persists. If it does, can you also tell me which version of the iOS you are running and what device you are running it on, e.g. 8.1.1 on an iPad3. If the crashing persists after the Soft Reset, please let me know.

Only with Multiplayer, never Singleplayer.
Reboot did not solve.
iOS 8.1.3 on an iPad Air 1st gen; 28 GB out of 114 GB available.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. We are working on the next update as we speak, so hopefully it shouldn't be too long.

Cheers,
These scenarios are my scenarios?

I never did a version for BA2 of these scenarios, so if someone has just copied the BA1 scenario and ported to BA2, the scenario should crash.
The same happens if you try to play a BA2 scenario in BA1.

Even if I thought it was obvious that Scenarios by Enric in the BA1 forum are scenarios for BA1, I added a warning about using them only in BA1.
(It would have been so nice that scenarios from BA1 just worked in BA2 :D )
