i've created a scenario with the editor with all the items to see them, their bonus and so on, and to see how the new lairs work (fey,demon and the c tower big building), but i crash instantly after the game start with this error
Firma problema: Nome evento problema: APPCRASH Nome applicazione: The Protectors.exe Versione applicazione: 0.8.7.0 Timestamp applicazione: 585bf524 Nome modulo con errori: StackHash_bc0c Versione modulo con errori: 0.0.0.0 Timestamp modulo con errori: 00000000 Codice eccezione: c0000005 Offset eccezione: 00000001 Versione SO: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 ID impostazioni locali: 1040 Informazioni aggiuntive 1: bc0c Ulteriori informazioni 2: bc0c4dad520785999fd3e0a37b6f7e6a Ulteriori informazioni 3: 1018 Ulteriori informazioni 4: 1018a4994a26e176ef66415a2129d4ff
i'm playing with 0.8.7 in compatibility mode XP S2 (that have more problem than the 0.8.5, why?)
maybe some item or new buildings cause the crash? In 0.8.5 a map with all items in it work perfectly
Also everytime i close the game the game crash, here the error:
Firma problema: Nome evento problema: APPCRASH Nome applicazione: The Protectors.exe Versione applicazione: 0.8.7.0 Timestamp applicazione: 585bf524 Nome modulo con errori: The Protectors.exe Versione modulo con errori: 0.8.7.0 Timestamp modulo con errori: 585bf524 Codice eccezione: c0000005 Offset eccezione: 0037c4b8 Versione SO: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 ID impostazioni locali: 1040 Informazioni aggiuntive 1: bc0c Ulteriori informazioni 2: bc0c4dad520785999fd3e0a37b6f7e6a Ulteriori informazioni 3: 1018 Ulteriori informazioni 4: 1018a4994a26e176ef66415a2129d4ff
This happen also in 0.8.5
playing through undead campaign i crash at the second scenario and in startup there is this:
[xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <151> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <150> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <148> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <147> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <146> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <145> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <144> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <143> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <139> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <138> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <151> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <150> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <148> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <147> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <146> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <145> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <144> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <143> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <139> [xcGraphicsSystemLoadBitmap] Error on loading <138>
for this one i've seen that maybe is corrupted the pack loaded on modb, so i've tried to download from piratebay but the link won't work and searching through piratebay's mirrors give 0 result for 0.8.7
Up that mirror of piratebay is blocked in my country, switched mirror, searched and i've found the torrent. i'll let you know if that build works properly.
Up it's something related to my hero and its units, because looking through the map, enemy being killed or everything else doesnt cause crash.
Up The first problem is surely caused by troops. In the Scenario i've linked: Starting with no troops = no crash Starting with troops = crash Starting with no troops but summoning creatures = crash after few sec (i've used Knight Racial spell to summon some dancing sword...and crash)
p.s. looked online for stackhash problem solving, disabled data execution prevention for theprotectors.exe but nothing

Are you running the game in Windowed mode?
Could it be caused by the game hitting the cache limit?

i've managed to put the game in fullscreen, so no.
hitting the cache limit? how can i see that?
my pc have 8 gb ram gtx 750 ti amd fx8100 3.1 ghz 8-core
i have seen that the game recognize only 1gb ram, it is that?
using compatibility mode windows 2000 let me play, but units where invisible.
i've also reinstalled the game from the torrent reset everything and used win xp sp3 compatbility and i've get a crash error like the first one but instead of APPCRASH there is BEX

If it is the cache, it's impossible to see. It's a hard-coded internal memory limit. I don't think there would be any fix other than by spreading the items over 2 maps.

I've playtested the map in the dev version and couldn't manage to make it crash. Whatever was causing the issue has likely been fixed in 0.8.8.

Thx, but like i've said the game crashes even in other maps, with other heroes race and so on. The game simply crash when i look to the troops.
If i move the hero withouth centring the screen on the troops i can take every item in that map. If i play without troop i can do anything in that map, so its not the map the problem.

Bitmap loading errors happen to everyone since wbc3 doesn't find wbc2/1 assets. It's harmless and likely not the issue for your crash.

The fact that we can't reproduce the crashes on our end means that there is a local issue, either software or hardware. Mind telling your PC specs?

AMD fx-8100 8-core, 8 GB ram, nVidia GTX 750 ti, 1 TB HDD, windows 7. Alla driver updated to the last version. The only thing changed in my PC since i've played 0.8.5 its the GPU, from an ATI radeon HD 6xxx to the nVidia one. And differently from the 0.8.5, the 0.8.7 recognize me only 1 gb ram with every compatibility mode, with 98 256 mb.

Try playing with a different hero or no heroes at all.

i've made 3 video of the problem.
Hero+troops in a created map, crash on centering on hero+troops Only troops in a random map, here with no hero you can see that after a bit when more troops arrive the game crash. Only hero in a created map, here you can see that starting with no troops but spawning something make the game crash.
the video will be online in 20-30 minutes.

Wow level 10 spells. Also, activate shadows in graphics options.

Try a rollback to 0.8.5. Does this still work?

unistalled 0.8.7, deleted the folders, installed 0.8.5, played a great match withouth a crash. There are still few minor bugs like the windows locked at 800x600 even if is setted to 1280x1024 or what it is.

Have you tried running the game with less CPU cores?

If you can, try disabling all but one processor core when running the game and see how that turns out. I have heard dodgy things about 5-8 core processors on older games so I'm thinking there could be a chance - even if it's a tiny chance - that it may potentially be the cause.
