TPT closes out some times.

    When I'm designing something in TPT, sometimes the program will close out. This is really annoying since now I cannot finish anything important without having to save it a bunch or something.

     

    This didn't start happening until this update, so it has something to do with what was added.

    Might be a crash... Do save way more often (even locally!)

    Heres a little info:

     

    It says it's a C++ runtime error, does that describe what could be happening?

    Oh and apparently when I try to SAVE my creation from the error, the error occurs and doesn't save.

     

    It seems like I will unable to make anything good without this error.

    saving crashes the game sometime, I don't know why. And i've tried a few things to look for it, but it never finds anything. It's always something with "corruption of the heap"

    you could try local saving / stamps or something. Also I don't actually use the c++ port of tpt, so I don't know how often most people get this.

    And are you on windows, mac, or linux? and which version of it?

    Windows.

     

    Version? do you mean operating system or the version #?

    yeah, I meant like windows 7, windows vista, windows xp, etc. Most people use windows, and I haven't seen excessive reports of constant crashing, unless people just got used to it and stopped complaining (I hope not, that never solves bugs)

    There were once people that said the mac version did this, that's why I asked. And I will keep looking into the problem, I also may have added in a new problem by accident (not in the latest version yet)

    Basically if we research an error we need every possible detail, every nook and cranny.
    Could you also tell us:
    1) what the runtime error exactly said? (Type it exactly, it'd be best)
    2) Windows XP Service Pack / sub-version? ( see image http://i.imgur.com/9CbnzW7.png )
    3) any other details you might feel left out? (what elements / features the save uses, can you save locally [ctrl+save], can you stamp, ... )
