My game is crashing whenever..
caffeinated.joy:
Put in some cc, go into your game and go into buy mode to generate the thumbnails and click on each item. Exit your game, put more in and repeat the process until you have everyhting loaded. In process, you mind find the exact object that's causing your game to crash. That's what theraven means.
Ancabee:
if its an object causing the crash howcome I am able to load each file into the game alone and it works fine, but altogether it causes crashes...? ;_;
Theraven:
Objects can interfere with each other - like a duplicate GUID, borky texture files, duplicate meshes, duplicate file names, or whatever else might be wrong.
Try the thumbnail thing first. If everything loads perfectly while you're testing, you can see if you get troubles when loading all the CC. Notice where things go wrong if the game does crash.
Most likely it's either an object problem (same place every time), memory trouble (random places), or maybe even a corrupted object file in the game files or something like that.
I had the random crashing in buy/build mode first, after moving the CC I had used for my laptop to my new computer. Then I started having serious graphic troubles - things ingame just started flashing purple on random, getting worse and worse. That was both CC and maxis objects, mind. Anything but floors and walls. After I did the 3GB enabling it got much better, but still crashing when overworked. After I started using the memory manager, none of it has happened. Not long ago I even had the game running for almost a week in stretch, going in and out of it while doing other stuff too. Didn't have a single problem with crashing or things like that.
Ancabee:
I mean like...if I put one folder in at a time, it works okay...but as soon as they are all together it doesn't work. So yes it is most likely conflicting files. I have also tested two folders at a time, to see and it works fine...so I don't know...I have no way of telling what files are confliting if they all work fine alone, but only crash while together, and work fine in pairs aswell..you know what I mean?? I don't know if I am explaining clearly sorry >.< lol ..I will test out everything later though, my game loads too slowly right now for me to do that >_< lol
something I notice also is when it crashes the game doesn't generate a groups.cache, if that means anything :P
I'm gonna try the thumbnail thing now ^^
----
Neither method worked. I deleted the thumbnails, added one folder at a time, checked out all the CC, deleted a few 'borked' ones (meaning those that were blue like I forgot a mesh, was only three). Still crashed.
I took out all the folder, paired them each in twos and made sure I had each folder paired with the others once. Still crashed.
I already knew it wasn't conflicting files if that makes a difference, I mean I have had these same exact files for two years now. And they've been tested and scanned since before the crashing started..
:( I don't know what to do now..all the borked files are gone now, and there are no duplicates. I guess the only positive is it took about half a second longer to crash on me this time :D yayyyy...

No more suggestions..?? ;__;

Do everything, but the 50% method is the best way to find conflicting files.
