I have a bug in my game - as I try to play feb. 1863 as CSA my game stalls when the combat days are conducted. Is this a new bug?

When I went one turn back and replayed to the same date, the bug reappears

Are you sure it is a bug/stall and not just a huge battle that is taking place. I just had a massive battlein my latest, over 100.000 plus on each side and I timed the battle resolution at over 3 minutes - slowest yet on my machine. I though I had a stall but I could have even gone away and boiled the kettle.

Oh testing new beta patch. The game is running lot slower with this patch for me.

Hi Spruce!

Which version of the game are you using? Do you get any error message?
In order to reproduce your problem we need the savegame. Please post it (best as a as a zip archive) to the forum or a file hosting service like http://www.mediafire.com/ and post the link.

Thanks

I used patch 1.10C - I had no error message - each time the game hangs it seems to be at day 0/15 and when I check the task manager is says "not responding".

perhaps you need to play 2 turns to see the game stalling

you shouls see Jackson and Johnston corps hunting down a few Union elements in the Carolinas

Hi Spruce,

thanks for the file. I checked it but the game was not stalling for me. The processing time for day 0 was about 1 minute on my computer (Core2Duo E6750, 4GB Ram). I don't know how fast your machine is, but I would bet that the turn will process normally if you are very patient.

Cheers
Norbert

today I retried it and waited a longer time - stlil the task manager says it's not responding - at a certain time of waiting - much longer then usual the game seems to have proceeded. So the game itself is working - but with much more calculating time at that certain date (which seems reproducable, even with turning PC off and on and reload).

is that normal that task managers indicates AGEOD is not responding ? Of that I'm sure ...

No, it's not normal... How much memory do you have? (Another reason the OS runs out of resources when running ACW, is low memory in your PC). I have 2 GBytes.

It might happen if the program is busy, nothing to worry about as long as the game not really stall.
Please note also that AACW stops to use CPU power if you switch to another task, for example that task manager. There is a game option to switch this behaviour on/off.

I have a state of the art computer with 4 Giga byte memory, must be what Primaspirit is refering to.

thank you guys for the fast and good feedback!
