editor made game freezing

Hi all!

A small experimental scenario I made - 30+30 standard units (no tinkering with data files) - keeps freezing on enemy turn 10-15 (or so) having worked normally until then. Scrolling doesn't work, zooming does. Some tools work ok,some don't. All very strange since the scenarios that came with the game work fine (haven't played them all, though). No problems with P&S campaigns & Sengoku Jidai ever, editor or otherwise.

Updated the game, lowered game settings (speeds, windowed mode, shadows off, no other programs running etc.) as instructed on the forum) but to no avail.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Henry

would need more info to pass on to the developer, and when i say more, a complete list of the ways you can do it that is repeatable so he can replicate it, before fixing, so before that, a log file and report may help, sorry for your issues

ok lets take a look and see if anything straightforward can be seen,.

How to get a DirectX Diagnostic file:

1. click on "START"
2. click "run"
3. type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments rather than pasted into the body of the post.

once the report has been made, just attach it to your post with first adding the file to a zip, which is then permitted to attach to the forum
include any error logs from the game (these are found in C:\Users\[your PC]\Documents\My Games\ANCIENTS). Look for the error.log txt file. (Note: It is important to copy this before restarting the game, otherwise it will be rewritten)
- If it is repeatable

Have you used a scenario script? If so something you have put in it might be causing the program to go into an infinite loop.

Only AI data dialogue. Teams 0-2. Aggression 16. Targets 1-3.

I have the dxdiag (zip). Attempting to attach it here.
