Random(?) Crashes

    I apologise for not being able to give more detailed information on this issue but since updating to v88.1 I have been experiencing random crashes (~10 in 2 days) with no apparent common factor. I will update this post with more information if I can find any.

    Edit: These aren't just TPT closing itself, I need to force quit through task manager.

    Yeah, same here, except not as many.

    What are you doing when it crashes? Opening saves or something maybe? Flood-filling? Or just completely random places in the game.

    Also did these random crashes ever used to happen in versions before 87.2?

    I don't use official for reasons like this ...

    It didn't happen on your mod, but it was: opening saves, closing saves (BLank page) viewing the 'list;' of saves, and just using TPT.

    Shouldn't this be on the help section?

    Ok, just had another one, I just opened TPT and my little startup ritual is to throw some dust about the screen to clear the startup information, did that and as the text faded out it just went not responding and I had to force quit through task manager. 

    Edit: @jacob1, as I said it's happened at various times, all seemingly at random. And no, only this latest version.

    Well, he might have thought that this is an issue that many people has experienced, and is a problem with the game.

    I haven't used TPT much after updating to 88.1, but in the few times I used it, it went as smooth as ever.

    Yes, I use that ritual too! Because I am OCD I also clear the page.

    I get crashes on small scale flood deletion.

    I already fixed that. You'll just have to wait til the next version for it to be actually fixed. Which seems like it could be a while ...


    This thread is about random crashes though, that aren't flood fill related. I've never seen any.

    And by the way, I right click-erase to clear the intro message, it seems to work a lot better. You can also right click close notifications. That way you don't have to wait for the dust to go offscreen, and everything is still like new.
