Author Topic: Thrawn Crash (Read 10492 times)

I apologize for posting, but I've spent the last two days tearing out my hair looking for a solution, then spent the better part of an hour going through most of the threads here and not getting an adequate answer.

But while playing as the Pentastar Alignment, it's pretty much come down to a situation to where I so much as look at Thrawn in a bad way while he is in the Empire, my game crashes in a bad way.

Now, again, I apologize for bringing this subject up, because frankly, I figure you guys are all busy. But, it's come to the point to where I'm about to just screw it, bottle up Thrawn at Obroa-Skai, and go and finish the entire game stuck at Thrawn's Era simply because I can't do anything about it.

Is there any solutions available, I've attached what the except log has given for the error, so hopefully that will help.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Install hotfixes 1 and 2. Hotfix 2 specifically fixes the issue you are encountering. You may need to start a new GC however as an old save may not work so well.

Yah. That's actually the problem. I have both hotfixes already installed. And I just did exactly what you suggested anyways, and it told me the files were already there.

I'm 99% sure that was fixed in the second hotfix, according to all of our testing and reports from that, but whatever. Unless it's something new you should be able to just autoresolve him to death.

AlSmash · « **Reply #4 on:** January 22, 2013, 04:09:38 AM »

Actually, nope. I tried to autoresolve when Thrawn attacked me, insta-crash.

Here's the exception that was generated.

Hopefully this helps.

I'm probably just going to shelve the entire Pentastar Alignment. As much as I like dropping two SSDs on top of the peasant AI, having it crash everytime EmpThrawn gets uppity is not a fun experience.

Odd, I know I"ve done that as the PA (90% of my playing is as the PA since I'm a huge fan of the Praetor and Venators) and it was no longer crashing for me.

sadly it crashes for me too, I've tried auto-resolving and fighting it myself, but it keeps on crashing when I kill him. i have both hotfixes installed

Same here.

tlmiller · « **Reply #8 on:** January 28, 2013, 10:59:50 AM »

And it's NOT an old save?

Corey · « **Reply #9 on:** January 28, 2013, 04:13:46 PM »

What factions are you all playing as? The scripting is different for each set so it's possible for it to happen with one and not the others.

Rougeman · « **Reply #10 on:** January 28, 2013, 08:45:18 PM »

I've been playing as the Alignment, its not an old save either

PA and IR.

When I'm PA the crash occurs every time when i kill Palps, but with the IR every time Thrawn dies it crashes in EoW and AoW.

I just encountered this while playing Essence as the PA. Killed Isard, no problem. Killed Thrawn with a fleet that included Jerec over Noquivzor. Doubt that info helps, but same crash as what the others encounter here after the battle ends.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention both hotfixes are installed.

Corey · « **Reply #13 on:** February 20, 2013, 05:54:04 PM »

I, once again, think I have fixed it. It'll need further testing to be sure though, might just be this method always worked.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2013, 11:02:44 PM »

Please do let me know if it does indeed work. I enjoy wreaking havoc with Kaine and the later eras beg to meet him.

Guderian · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:59:36 PM »

May i ask if anyone of you had this problem after destroying a major faction?
Like Pentastar Alliance, New Republic?
If that is the case:
Don't destroy them and it won't crash ^^

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2013, 07:42:51 PM »

Yes, it still happens if you destroy the PA, or IR. incidentally great username he was very central to Armored warfare!

Corey · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2013, 08:18:40 PM »

But does it happen if you don't?

Guderian · « **Reply #18 on:** February 25, 2013, 08:05:07 AM »

i tried it:
I left alle factions a few planets and i can progress to the next era without any problem.
If I destroy one faction the game crashes

@Lord Xizer
i use that username quite a while now in other forum's (? what's the Plural form of Forum? Forum, forums??)

Corey · « **Reply #19 on:** February 25, 2013, 03:49:40 PM »

Fora. These would technically be the Thrawn's Revenge Fora with each individual board (Tech Support, News, etc) being a forum.
