Title: Random RA2 Crashes
Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on October 28, 2013, 01:43:43 PM
So I decided to play around with Stock 1.4 today (AwesumSauce's DL link), and the game has a very annoying tendency to crash randomly and frequently. Is there anyway to avoid these random crashes?

make the game fullscreen if you haven't already. the same thing happens on my computer if i even so much as dare wiring a bot or selecting an ai bot for too long. you need to do it quickly otherwise it will crash.

Fullscreen seems to have fixed it, but I just found something else: It is absolute hell trying to delete stuff inside the bot, requiring multiple clicks to even select them.

With that, I've found that changing tabs (E.G. go on Overview, then back to construction) fixes it, and that it can affect any component (usually when something attached to a motor is moving for whatever reason).

Nah, it's not the spinning motor thing that normally happens, it just takes multiple clicks to select it regardless of switching tabs.

Close game, start game again. Stop changing tabs.

That can't-click-a-component-because-I-just-changed-tabs is old news.

Yeah it fixed itself eventually.
