Beta 6 Bugs

[LarryHookins]

I usually go after the French ships when I've got my hands on a 74 gun SOL. It seems like every time I fire on the French ships, I end up with a CTD before I can capture them all. The only way I can capture them all is to never fire a shot.

I've put all sorts of probes in the code to try to figure out exactly when the CTD occurs, but the game always gets through everything I've traced. For example, the weather change always works and finished before the CTD. I did a lot of tracing of the surrender code, but the CTD never happened in the middle of it. And every time the traces I had were the last things that were recorded by the program before the CTD.

I am not entirely sure the French CTD is the same as the one you get during any ole run of the mill Two Fleet ship battles at sea... but they could be related.

The CTD's I have even gotten, are the ones where you hit "F1" in the middle of a massive battle (8+ ships) and it randomly CTD's. I've never personally seen the one with the French ships myself, and I have fired on them a fair bit out of frustration and my will to simply die <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> But then, I wasn't in a SOL... more of a beefed up Xebec, with a crapload of skills and attributes.

Maybe its ship related... a particular 'ship' that is used, causes a problem somewhere down the line?

And for tracers... well ... I gues you need more! LOL !!!

I am taking these CTD bugs to a new thread to discuss them directly, and hopefully get other peoples attentions toward it as well. So, I will not continue further discussion on the ctd issue in this thread.
