[BUG] - Increased crashes to desktop in MP on 1.1 - stable on previous versions

from Demigod Forums

Tracking post for what I submitted to [email protected]

See attached for needed log information. 

 

Issue - Since 1.1 went live, I have had an increased number of crashes.  My drivers have not changed, same version of everything.  The only new variable is Demigod 1.1.  The details I attached are from the last crash.  The last line in demigod.log = info: Error decompressing data from Rahab7:61599: CDeflateOutputFilter::BufWrite(): call to deflate() failed.  I don't see any rhyme or reason... both crashes have occurred after some time playing.  Might be linked to people conceding, but I'm not 100% sure.  In the last game it was at a point when someone on my team (3 human v 3 human) may have chosen concede or dropped from the game.  Here are the stats from that game... I think it's curious that both I and another player had 0 favor recorded.

I was running into massive crashes, and it turned out that some of the game's data was corrupted

I tried the impulse repair tool but it didn't help, uninstalling and reinstalling the game fixed the problem

Interesting.  I've played several successful games since, but I'll give a fresh install a shot if crashes come back with a vengeance.  Thanks for sharing your experience.

In case anyone stumbles across this thread, I've read several other posts that had similar issues, along with their solutions - if there were any.

1.  Delete your Game.prefs file which is located in \My Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Demigod. 

2.  Uninstall/ReInstall the game

They added a feature that allows a demigod to select skills and/or buy items after they die.  This new feature, sadly, crashes the game, and may account for your random crashes.
