Random RA2 Crashes
« 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.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

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).
Yes that sequence of words I just said made perfect sense.

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.
