Crashing in carrier

Post by Nimbus »

Been having a slight problem inside a carrier . Pearl warzone. I buy a mil frame . Clicked build ship and the game crashes. Second time was fine. I built a Chimera ,no issues. 3rd time I built an Avenger it crashed again. Built the Avenger the 3rd time it was fine. No crash. Seems intermittent. Otherwise no other issues. Absolutely loving the game.

There are quite a number of memory loading operations during that phase. Check to see if your system has sufficient system memory (RAM available, not just installed/capacity) as well as video memory (minimum 2GB dedicated not shared) needed for the game to meet the recommended minimum requirements. If it's close or below, try lowering detail settings, then test again to see if the problem returns. Also make sure nothing is else is running in the background that might consume video memory and/or system memory. If the problem persists, I can review your setup: https://www.starwraith.com/evochronlegacy/faq.htm#208 (including the save game will help me test against the issue)

Edit: Completed numerous cycles of building new military ships at the Arvoch WZ without a problem. I can test or evaluate further with more information.

Edit 02-24-2025: Rolled out update 2.0758 which has some changes applied to specific image index handling that should help resolve the issue on certain systems that may be lean on video and/or system memory.
