Hey,
I'm running Sins Diplomacy Beta 3 in LAN multiplayer, and every so often the game just completely disappears, and I am back at the Windows desktop. This can happen after pretty much any length of gameplay; the longest I can remember it going without crashing was about an hour, today it crashed within a minute. Needless to say, even with frequent saving, this makes the game nearly unplayable. I have a brand-new, high-end computer (Core i7, 64-bit, 9GB RAM, GTX 260) and the game runs flawlessly on maxed settings. There is no lag, skipping, graphical glitches, or any indication that the game is struggling prior to the crash. It happens out of a clear blue sky, and with no apparent common denominator.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening, and/or how to fix it? Has anyone else encountered this problem?
- Phil
P.S. Before anyone reminds me that this kind of thing often happens with betas, there is no indication on these forums of a widespread bug in Diplomacy that causes constant crashing. Not to mention, I have been having this problem, with increasing severity, since Beta 1. It seems more likely that the problem is something specific to a certain configuration.
