[1.4] Game crashes/freezes - Post here
« on: May 27, 2011, 11:45:16 AM »
We figured out the TEMP Folder Full Error.
See here for more details.


Please include the following files:

*Documents/My Games/Company of Heroes/warnings.log
*Documents/My Games/Company of Heroes/LogFiles/scarlog.[Date-and-Time].txt
*Temp/RandomLettersAndNumbers.dmp (see below)

How to get the DUMP file
  • Hold Windows Key and click R
  • Enter "%Temp%" (without " " and with % %)
  • Find the .dmp file that was created at the time of the crash

Additional Information
Please provide the following information as well.

*What map were you playing?
*Which factions were involved?
*What were you doing when the crash occurred? Try to be as accurate as possible!
*Do the crashes happen during every or almost every game?


Doing this helps us figure out the cause of the crashes easier, and fix them. Posts without any relevant information will be deleted.

I honestly don't have the slightest idea what triggered this one, just randomly happened about 10 minutes into the match during a skirmish between some conscripts, upgraded naval infantry, and a commisar against some Panzergrenadiers. It was a 3v3 with 5 AI players on Hedgerow Siege, 3 Soviet vs 2 Wehr and 1 PE, me being one of the soviet players.

Can't analyze this one without a dump file.

Same as above except on Montherme.  No idea what triggered it.  Naval infantry present. ~10min into match.

CoH was running out of memory and failed to allocate memory. System specs/dxdiag?

Here is a new dump file and all logs from the time. Map was a custom map called graves bridge. Was playing as Russia with three Russian allies against 2 WM and 2 PE, all AI.

Install patch 2.602 for CoH. No other patch is supported.

PS: I'm also sorry for your English ;).

Hi
in fist BIG Thx for all your job =D
here my contribution to the crash report for 1.4

I tried to play "all" possible maps. But I have always a crash report after 1 minute of game. (so I don't know what it happened for the crash)
I played always SU with American ally, versus WH.
1vs1, 2vs2....

There files are crash report for the map "Godno"
I : SU
ally : American (middle)
Enemies : 2 WH  (hard)

please excuse my English, i' m French

You're using v2.601. Update to 2.602.

I did run out of memory? Wow. Can't wait for games to be coded for 64-bit systems. I've got 8GB+2GB video ram and it can't even all be used!

Anyways, here is my DXdiag results.

Also, my system:
AMD Phenom II X4 @2.8GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM @1333MHz
AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB

My friend's system:
AMD Phenom II X6 @3.2GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM @1333MHz
Nvidia GTX 470 1.25GB

Why does this not seem to crash on vanilla CoH, but crashes even with lowest settings on EF?

It failed to allocate memory and the most likely reason for this is that you're out of memory.

I tried to find the dump file per your instructions, but I didn't find it anywhere in that folder. What does the file typically look like, is it a hidden file or something?

Edit:

Hmm, crashed again, this time I DID find a dump file.

3v3 on Kiev, 2 Soviet AI and me vs 3 Wehrmacht, half hour into the match towards when things were wrapping up I tried to get my two IS2s and my IS3 to move to a new location when it crashed. It seems like a lot of these crashes are occuring after move to location commands.

Another one:
I was playing as Wehrmacht vs. Sovjet CPU on Vienna.
Don't know what could have caused the crash.
I was producing an mg42 and having some skirmishes with the enemy

For me, the game is unplayable due to the sheer amount of crashes that happen to me.

another game, another crash.
program sayd - Cannot create error report. Pls, check, that in your TEMP folder enoght free space.
Before starting that game i cleaned PC by CCleaner.

I think it huge memory leak, because playing on minimal graphic settings dont call game crash.
