Spring RTS Engine

Since the new version of spring the game now randomly quits. It does not crash but instead quits like I pressed shift + escape. It has done it in 2 different mods, the only common thing seems to be maps with water. It will usually quit within the first 10 minutes. It seemed to be effecting 3 or so other people I was trying to play with and no amount of changing settings seemed to resolve the problem.

same problem here, only after a bit longer play +/- 20 mins.

Just kicked mid game after 2 hours of gameplay. Wasn't a naval map so thats not causing it. This is happening in probably 90% of games I have played, its pretty much impossible to play the game anymore.

Maybe the problem is in the mods? Could it be they have something that disturbs the new version? Have you tried the mods packaged with it?

Im using the newest AA version, its happend on a few different mods as well. Looks like I will have to stop playing until they release a patch or someone works out what causes it, I can't make it through a single game without this or a hard crash since the new version .

Same problem here, AA mod, maps delta siege and high and low.

Some players simply exitted few seconds-several minutes after joining game!
It occured to me at least 5 times, 2x as host. (Game loaded, people connected, chat was working and suddenly bang - game quits to lobby)

Ditto....game crashes in 10-20 minutes. Only got a error once, something about the AI.

Haven't experienced this myself. I only play XTA tho, which doesn't use much new features so maybe a bug in one of them...

Same here, played several XTA games and no crash for any player.

XTA does crash here... tested with and without bots)

If you could post replays of these games I might be able to figure out what's triggering it, if it is indeed an AA problem.

Quit during a long game, my team mate possible had the same thing happen.

Quits as soon as level is loaded

It seems to be player specific, ill get it with one group of people and it will just keep doing it again and again but with a different host and players it will never do it. Usually it will effect 2-3 people at time.

same problem here, random quits occur quite often since the new version (or the new version of AA)
is already known what causes this?

I would say negative sun values. I am quite sure DeltaSiege has that, not sure abouot the others.

hm, last time it happened on altored_divide after some minutes of playing. i would think problems with sun values would make it quit directly at start...

I had these "quits" repeatedly on some maps with certain people.

If people don't move mouse/do any actions until all load into game, it doesn't exit.

Could just be the host leaving.

happened to mee too 3 times, all AA mod. At first i though its my OCed gfx (which works 1''% stable) but looks like i am not alone here.

btw 9800xt ati

it happened to me 3 times too.

I reinstalled windows, got the latests graphics drivers, windows patches, all that stuff. I installed the latest version of spring.

every time it exited back to the desktop with no error message at all. The lobby server was still running.

2 times in greenhaven (I can't remember... green something, the one with no metal)

and one time in another map. nothing to do with water. all 3 times it was while I was playing the newest version of AA (2.1 I think).

otoh, I did manage a game of speedmetal (it was the only map that was being hosted, ok? leave me alone!) and just as we were about to walk into their base, the host quit or something.

I will be moving this weekend so I won't be online.

Spring is looking better all the time. Customisable explosions! :D

there's an issue whereby spring doesnt show the crash dialog, and just exits back to desktop without warning....
