Version 7.021 generates unhandled errors
« on: April 30, 2014, 02:32:26 pm »
I updated to the latest version of AI War but now my game generates Unhanded errors and then finally crashes with "Error in GC: Too many heap sections"

The game does not even generates a crash report. I includes a save game maybe someone can recreate the problem.

Is there any way to revert to the previous version?

Thanks

There's no way to revert to the exact previous beta since the files for it were replaced with this one, but I will certainly investigate the save file you posted and try to fix it ASAP, thanks very much :)

Ok, I just loaded your save and have it running, but there haven't been any errors yet.  So some questions:

1) When you load the save, do you get errors?
2) If not, if you continue playing for some time, do you get errors?
3) Are you on windows or mac?

Thanks :)

No not immediately

There are 2 incoming waves by the time they are in full swing the errors start happening... surely if you watch them.
3) Are you on windows or mac?
I use the windows version on steam

Thanks :)

Ah, ok, they did happen for me.  They were in the reinforcements-logging logic, though, which I'm actually in the process of improving in my working-development version (not the version I used to test this).

Do you have the Reinforcements Logging checkbox in the Advanced tab of the Settings window checked?  If so, please turn it off and try again :)  I'll do the same and see if it gives me more grief.

Ah, ok, there was still a problem (less severe, but would still throw errors, though it didn't actually crash).  I've put in a change to prevent the problem and will get the hotfix out shortly.
