Random crashes .-.

[speedoflight]

Hi guys, ive been playing FTL perfectly fine until 2 weeks ago, when the crashes started. I dunno if its any mod im using wat is causing it, but i dont think so, the game crashes in loading tansitions, when i go to enter in a store, when i just passed the hangar and the start game event will appear, but mostly when im going to start after the hangar screen or when im going to enter in a shop and i click in the event text, or when i click any event text option.

The stack error file only shows this ->

Version = 1.03.1

Can you try removing your mods one by one and seeing if that's the problem?

[speedoflight]

It looks like the problem was causing for my mod itself, but i dont have any idea why. The game seem to be working fine with only the highresolution backgrounds mod and a little modification to the fleet pursuit. I still need to make some tests, but i was hoping to find a way to fix this issue, working in my mod is the only thing is keeping me playing ftl. The weird thing is, other users doesnt seem to have this crashes.. its very annoying. I wish FTL had a real way or a real error log to look into.. another thing that should be more considered..

Last time, when i installed my mod, i was fighting a ship and when i destroyed it, the game crashed. I dont see any circunstance that will cause in that spot the game to crash, as i said there are random crashes, im really lost here.

Need to say i already updated my video card drivers, just in case, my so is Vista 32 bits. I really dunno if the crashes are related to video card problems, i dont think so.. but sometimes the game crashes when i click start, sometimes when i enter in a shop, sometimes when i just go to another beacon and the screen is about to pop-up.. etc. wat could cause these crashes?

I think they only change in 1 line... the last 2 games i tried, the game crashed in the first shop i visited. In both cases..

If you're modifying the XML files, you might have just made a bad event or piece of equipment that causes a crash when it's accessed. What have you changed for your mod?

In the future, it'll be easier and faster to get support about modding directly from the mod forum http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10 since I didn't make any of the tools myself, it's a community run effort

[speedoflight]

Thats the problem. Im pretty sure at 99,9% that i dont have any equipment, weapon, event (i dont use events in my mod) wrong, the reason i posted here is because i thought the tech support could tell me something looking at those stack files. But apparently they are useless. Besides, in the mod forum i receive almost no help about this issues (the community mod forum is a bit abandoned)- so i guess this is probably my last day of playin / modding FTL, thanks anyways for making this game, though i cant play it anymore. I really will consider in future titles to make a better error log treatment, really much better if the game is a modeable one.

Have you tried installing the game in a different directory, and run it unmodified?

[speedoflight]

Have you tried installing the game in a different directory, and run it unmodified?

Yup. I tried. Im testing again with my mod again, but this time, since my mod is composed by several ships, im testing ship by ship (with its specific weapons, augments, etc). The problem is to find all the weapons / items in shops to test it, but this is less painfull than anything else, since if i install another ship and it crashes, i know thats the cause. I really dont know wat else to do lol.

[boa13]

Are you saying that the unmodified game, installed in a different location, crashes? Are you sure you are running the new install of the game, and not the old one by mistake?

No. The original game without any mod works perfectly fine, its when i add an specific one that starts crashing without any apparent reason. Those stacks up there are from the game running with the mod installed.

I gave up. I could not see anything wrong in the files. There is always a crash in a store, and because is not always (only in some stores) i assume its due to any item. But since all the items are perfectly defined and coded in the files, i dont see any solution to this and im thinking this is mostly a "bug" of the game that apparently is almost impossible to fix (since there is no legible crash log anywhere). I only hope the Overdrive project keep evolving so i can play this game again.
