Slitherine

No problem, will do. Ready in 15 Minutes.

Damn, a different crash.
Did not touch the management panel, this time i finished all moves in russia and against ottoman. Then i continued with western front, wanted to fire with my artillery on the reserve corps that is in position between the two fortresses at the german border south of strassbourg.
Than it crashed, heres the log file.

I ll try again, this time i will do that arty move first.

i tried again, indeed, i cannot use my artillery in france anymore. everytime i fire it crashes.

Do you want me to complete the turn without using artillery and the management box?

Better still to do NO moves at all and just end the turn. That way I can test stuff without having to watch the lengthy replay each time.

Once the problem is fixed I'll pass my turn too.

Both crashes point to the same problem with stats for kills/casualties for the defender (= Germany) being botched up.

I've never seen that kind of problem before, no clue yet what's going on.

ok, no problem. I will do nothing at all, i will not even invest my diplo points or produce new units or anything else, just "next turn button" immediately.
Hope you find the problem.
Ready in 3 minutes.

Done, hope you fine the bug.

Game crashes right after replay because of casualties stat for Germany is "nil"...

How the @$#§& is that even possible?

I'm sorry, but our match has come to an end in a most unsatisfying manner.

Damn!!!!! Thats sad
Was such a great match, really enjoyed this. We had battles all over the continent.
To be honest, i think i would have lost this game due to my bad performance with russia at game start. But still, we could have continued for at least 1-2 more years.
UK and France were very stable and Romania/Portugal were about to join me as well. And I think i had enough reserves to defeat ottoman with fresh re-enforcements coming in via the persian gulf. So sad!!!! F*****.

I even had an army marching to Medina, that took me 10 turns to march in the desert from kuwait to medina, aaaarrghhhhhhhhh

Restart?

or maybe you want to do some research first to prevent this from happening again before we start?

up to you. i am home alone today and tomorrow, so i could easily complete many turns

I'm too down in the dumps to start a new match right now, sorry.

Besides I must first have a look into that issue with the stats going nil at some point during the game or else this will corrupt future matches.

ok i understand. No worries. It is a little bit sad as we played almost 3 weeks on this match and i think the decisive battles were just about to start.
At least I had a breakout plan for france, a stable northsea blockade and a started offensive against ottoman.

But yeah, you absolutley smashed me in russia. Had zero initiative since late 1914. I was just slowly withdrawing whilst trying to maintain a straight frontline and fill the gaps. Main idea was just to keep as many german troops occupied as possible to prevent you creating a stronger stance in the west.

But in the end i think the french would have run out of men. I was already "orange" with their manpower. Probably the french army would have been exhausted after my offensive. Never mind...i learned a lot. My relation between the quality and quantity of troops was out of balance, i had too many armies everywhere and therefore never enough PP to upgrade them all or invest in research. This gave you an advantage, your german troops were always at least one or sometimes two levels higher than my french armies. Whatever, hope you find the problem.

Let me know if you want a rematch.
By the way, lots of activity on MP at the moment, i am still playing 3 other matches against 3 other players right now.

The vanilla game, right?

I only play Potzblitz V11.1., and so do my opponents.

Current games against paabo, mrdozer, bolt. Sadly our game came to an end, however i did convince another strategy game fan to give it a go.
He has completed CTGW on hard multiple times, i told him its time to improve and today he started his first campaign on potzblitz.
I ll give him a few days to practice, but he is learning fast. My next competitor. I know him, he will fight and take it ´serious´, i.e. dont give up at turn 5 or so.
i dont like that. actually the game starts making most fun from turn 20+ when the alliances get bigger and bigger and you start seeing the consequences of your early played events and the invested influence finally pays off.

Biggest mistake is to stop at turn 5, but yea, some players do

both my games when I go to end them crash. Its why I haven't returned my turns yet.

Also a few weeks ago my other install of the original game refuses to start beyond the pop up screen.

Neither can I. Slitherine's has recently switched to a new PBEM system. I'm suspecting that this has broken the ability to play CTGW in multiplayer.

If the game keeps crashing please provide the ctgw.log which is usually to be found in your Documents folder, so look in "My Documents\My Games\Commander The Great War".

NOTE: This log is overwritten every time you start the game. Please make a copy of the log after any crash/bug you want to report BEFORE reloading the game.

Put the ctgw.log and/or autosave.endturn files into a .zip or .rar archive and attach them to your post using the forum's "upload attachment" feature. You can find the upload button in the bottom left corner of the reply box after you click on "full editor and preview".

Alternatively you can just copy/paste and post the last few lines of the "error" message at the end of the ctgw.log, usually this holds enough information to fix a bug

it says my kernal memory checking is off but no idea how to fix that.i looked online before but got lazy at potblitz has me more interested now but both are not working lol

If you don't post the logfile I can't help you.

You could try reinstalling your original game installation to see if that fixes the issue.

Mrdozer, I thought so. That's sad as I liked the game we played. But I think we all have that problem.
My other MP matches also crash. I have 2 other games going on. I cannot continue the turn. Stand by for crash logs.

I am afraid our great games have come to an end.
Enjoyed the matches with Mr dozer paablo and robot robotron.
That would be terrible if MP is out of action.
Hope not.

@unwichtig: please be so kind and give a short notification including the last lines of the logfile with the crash report at

viewtopic.php?f=58&t=101697

so the admins can see the problem is still persisting for several users

Hi!

I can finish the turns, but the moves always end with this crashlog:
It is a little sad as every move takes me approx 10-15 minutes just fo find out that pushing the "next turn" button crashes the game.
I don not want to replay it all the time, question to mrdozer:
Do you have the same problem with our game ? Same crashreport?

Note 1: This crashlog is from my match against paablo.
Note 2: Shared the crash with slitherine team on link you provided, robotron. i could see that you have exacelty the same crash.

@unwichtig: I just had an idea: maybe only matches that were opened (not started) before the recent PBEM-system switch are affected?

We should try this out. I'll send you a PM with the password.
