For example might suddendly get error message "This stack trace indicates a problem with your graphic card driver." even if never had a problem with that.
Ideally you will want to find out what causes this and fix or report it blablabla.
But maybe one just wants to play right now?
What worked for me is this:
1) Find your spring.exe
2) In same folder make a file bla.bat (.txt file and rename it)
and write into it:
Code: Select all
spring.exe script.txt --safemode
4) After it has crashed, doubleclick the bla.bat file and maybe you will be able to play now.
Of course that is a bit ugly and if you report the crash there is higher chance that soon it is possible to play normal again

See here how to report bugs.
Pro tip:
instead of waiting for it to crash, close Spring during loading.
If it says "can not connect, player is already ingame": wait a few seconds
non-windows:
You have to start the spring executable with two commandline parameters:
script.txt --safemode
How excactly that works depends on your OS.
