Crash by pyrogenesis.exe error

[Fabian Schwan]

Hi, when i am playing a game, the same Error accures after like every 30 min gametime. The screen gets frozen until i click anything. A white screen appears with a window saying nothing more than "pyrogenesis.exe" doesnt work. I am using windows 8. I can attach files as the crashlog file.

That sounds like an out-of-memory error when using a too large mapsize, too much population and/or too many AI players.

Try 8 players * 150 population or 4 players * 300 population and normal mapsize.

[Fabian Schwan]

I only played 1v1s against a bot with a pop max of 300 yet.

Does the replay crash as well? If so, upload it.

[Fabian Schwan]

No, it just says the reply is finished when i reach the crash point.

Try tracking your free memory next time you play (even though 6GB should be more than enough). Perhaps also running at lower graphics settings in case it's running out graphics card memory.

even though 6GB should be more than enough

But a 32-bit process can still not use more than 4.

Didn't we add r18711 for that?

[Stan]

No it only allowed to use more than 2.

[elexis]

Right.

Was it some kind of large map that crashed? Try tracking the memory used by pyrogenesis.exe and see if it approaches 4GB.

Vladislav also asked whether it always crashes in the same place in the code. So someone with windows might want to get the stacktrace.

its working perfectly now with lowest graphics ty a lot for helping me so fast
