Strange Crashes and Fatal errors

[Ultimatix]

Hi there,

I have the newest Version of Worms Armageddon (v3.6.29.0).

But Since Yesterday, the Game got sometimes an Fatal error, most when i have played one Game and click to "New Match". But the Strange thing is, that i can´t minimize WA when the Fatal error is happening and the whole PC frozen so i must restart the PC. That´s because i cant show you a screen from that Error.

Have somebody an idea Why this happens ? I have MSN or other messengers turned off, too.

Is an ERRORLOG.TXT file created in your W:A folder?

[Ultimatix]

Yeah, there is an Errorlog.txt. Its a huge one, i cant post it in the Thread. Can i send you the txt File to you Emailadress ?

[CyberShadow]

If it is too large to post as an attachment (250kb), compress it first.

[Ultimatix]

Ok i have attached this Textfile now !

Could you check if the time specified in the log corresponds to when the problem you described occurred?

[Ultimatix]

Yes, the Time in the log corresponds and the Error occurred at 8/5/2009 18:59:22.

The crash occurred due to a font rendering error. Please try updating your video drivers, and try applying the SlowFrontendWorkaround tweaks.

Hello, I have a question concerning the same problem. I am trying to make a video out of Worms Armageddon replay file.. I try to use the "Export replay" feature but when the game has exported around 7000~ image files, it gives a Fatal Error message...

It made an error log for me too so I thought this thread could be the right one to post. ;)

I use the v3.6.29.0 of Worms Armageddon too.

I attached the Errorlog.txt here.

For me Error occurred at 8/7/2009 04:41:12.


I've been trying to solve this for a very long time now.. I really hope someone can help me with this. Thanks.

Looks like a memory leak.
You can work around this by extracting the video in segments of several minutes' length.

I believe the replay extraction issue affects multiple people.

If you mean that I should first export few minutes, pause, copy the images somewhere, continue; I have tried and it still crashes.. Should I get more RAM memory then? I have only 2Gb right now..

[CyberShadow]

No, not pause. You can enter the intervals for which to extract the frames in the "Export video" dialog.

[Vilde]

ohh.. Thanks a lot ! I didn't know that. Now I think I should get the images exported...

Next thing to solve is how to combine the images to a video, as my Ulead Video Studio 11 and Windows Movie Maker can't do it because they crash because there are too many images :(

[CyberShadow]

Try VirtualDubMod.

[Vilde]

Thanks. THANKS... I would say "Thanks" more than million times but it would take too much time and I would get banned. :D:D

I really have tried to find a program for the image combining about 2 weeks and I almost quitted.. Thanks again.

PS. Thanks a LOT.

A new Worms Armageddon Version without these many Bugs would be nice. This bugs make Worms Armageddon untasteable sometimes

Many known bugs and issues have been fixed for the next Beta version.
