Camp Button is Crashing My Game Again

[White Fudge]

Hey guys, whenever I play a game with the Adenian (Cavalry) Faction, at some point something goes wrong with the Camp Button so that whenever I click on it, the screen goes black and I get a windows error message saying something went wrong with Mount and Blade and it has to close it down.  The only thing I can do is start over with a new game.  It gets frustrating!  But it has never happened to me when I play other factions.  I tried to reload the game, change graphic settings, but nothing works.  The time in the game is random when it happens.  This time was around 35-40 days, last time it was around 130 days.  Nothing funny happens in the game to lead up to it.  Its just at some point I go to access the Camp button menu and it dies.  Any help?

It'd be more helpful to modding team if you can provides more details about the crash since camp button is really  includes many functions together. I also had this crash during my Zerk game, I still managed to build an Empire though

I dont know what else to add.  The game works fine.  At some point, on some random day, when I click the camp button, the screen goes black, the monitor clicks like it is changing resolution, there is still the cursor from the game and it moves and clicks on the windows dialouge box when it pops up and says there is an error with Mount and Blade and windows needs to close it.  The music still plays, and I dont know what else there is to say.  the game works fine otherwise.  Here is the error signature from Windows:

AppName: mount&blade.exe AppVer: 0.7.3.0 ModName: mount&blade.exe
ModVer: 0.7.3.0 Offset: 00118fab

If there is more specific information you need, just let me know and I can get it for you.  Im on Windows XP.  Thanks again.

Yeah, the game also works fine for me, expect this mysterious crash 
But It looks like you can reproduce the bug, which I think is really helpful to the modders so they don't have to dissemble the whole camp code thing to find the problem.
So what did always happen before the crash? Specifically, what have you done with the camp button before the crash?
Did you:
- Use the upgrade troops function in camp?
- Use the Strat map?
- Use the Relic mini-game?
- Issue edicts?
Etc, etc.
And if you use any of these function, describe how do you "use" it?

 

[White Fudge]

In my latest game, the only thing I used it for was mercenary upgrades and inventory management (mostly as Item Pool).  Im only on day 40 and havent captured anything yet so I cant use any of those other commands (edicts, relic game, fief management), and I never use the strategic map because it causes all kinds of problems for me.

Before the crashing started the camp button worked just fine.  But at some point the crash happened and now every single time I load the game and hit the camp button, it crashes.  And whatever is making it crash is saved to my specific game save because I have started other games and in the saves for those games the camp button works just fine.  Again, when the camp button stops working is random because I had another game where the Legion was about to appear before the camp button died, about 300 game days into it.  Nothing funny happens before the first crash.  But as soon as the first crash happens, it happens ever single time after that.

Thanks for looking into it though!  I can make it crash at will, and if there are specific files or logs or anything I can pull just let me know.

UGGGGHHHH!!!!!    It happened again with a new game...............

I just finished beating up a caravan, and after the battle I level upped my troops, and then I hit the camp button because I wanted to upgrade my mercenaries, but instead the screen went black, and a few moments later the windows box popped up saying there was an error and windows has to shut down mount & blade.

In the Warband Version I actually had issues with the Adenian Pig face Helmet troops. I had to remove them. But this seems unrelated to this issue. When the game crashes again post your "rgl_log.txt" file located in M&B's Main Install Directory here in the forum so we can get a better look. Right now Cyclo is expecting a newborn and Kuba is busy with RL. When I release 4.0 of SOD:W I'll work on SOD 5.0 a bit. There are some things that I know need fixing.

 

[White Fudge]

Hey, thanks for the reply.  I know people are busy and have lives, and thats a good thing!  I just really like this game and its a bummer that the same thing keeps happening after a couple weeks of play....

Here is the RGL_LOG.TXT
All I did was start the game and hit the camp button.  When the crash happens, it corrupts the save game file for some reason.

Yeah that's a serious bug there though I don't know what's causing it. I'll have to just leave it here for Kuba when he gets back.

 

[Kekk]

I had this issue, too. Now, this tweak doesn't ALWAYS work, but it does most of the time.

Go to your My Documents folder, and enter the Mount and Blade savegame folder. There, you'll see your savegames and the savegame backups. Delete your corrupted save, it should say something like "sg00" and rename the backup to the file you just deleted.

EX:

Before, your folder has two files, "sg00" and "sg_Backup"
After you delete sg00, only the backup remains
Rename the backup to sg00

Viola, that should get you back in the game.


"Note that I always play on 'Realistic' save functions, because I hate losing progress to a crash. Realistic save functions autosave frequently."

 

[White Fudge]

I will have to try that.  I just learned to have multiple save when I go to save the game.

 

[White Fudge]

Well, I tried it and it didn't work.  Thanks for the idea though.  I've just learned to keep multiple saves while I play.  That way I only loose a game day or two when it happens.

Correction:  It does work, im an idiot.  Too long of a story to explain 

And not only did it work for this problem, it worked for all the various crashes that happen during the game (I've been getting random crashes lately for no good reason.)  Thanks for the great tip!!!

Hey guys, whenever I play a game with the Adenian (Cavalry) Faction, at some point something goes wrong with the Camp Button so that whenever I click on it, the screen goes black and I get a windows error message saying something went wrong with Mount and Blade and it has to close it down.  The only thing I can do is start over with a new game.  It gets frustrating!  But it has never happened to me when I play other factions.  I tried to reload the game, change graphic settings, but nothing works.  The time in the game is random when it happens.  This time was around 35-40 days, last time it was around 130 days.  Nothing funny happens in the game to lead up to it.  Its just at some point I go to access the Camp button menu and it dies.  Any help?

It'd be more helpful to modding team if you can provides more details about the crash since camp button is really  includes many functions together. I also had this crash during my Zerk game, I still managed to build an Empire though 

It always happens to me when I try to assign garrisons. But it also happens sometimes during a battle.

 

[adawhite29]

For me the camp button crash started after I fought in a battle where an enemy joined the battle at the beginning of the battle who was named
'Unarmed Troop'.  (Make sure to read the lines of text when you start a battle to see who joined the battle.)  If unarmed troop joins the battle, quit without saving and reload last save.  He is a single soldier that I came across in the Swadian territory.  If you are playing realistic, where you can't quit without saving, two options that I can think of.  Ctrl + Alt + Del, then close the game from task manager, or do as listed above, and go to your save games folder and delete the current save, and change the name of the backup save to what the current save was named.
Hope this helps others out there.  Of course, many reading this post already have this problem, and may not have any good saves left.  Save often, and keep an occasional save in your folder with a changed name, so you can use it later if problems occur.

 

[saiyanwarrior]

ugh I'm geting this bug kinda annoying when I'm just starting out and have one castle, I'm VERY dependent on my hired blades as thier free to upgrade and are fairly cheap to have lots of the fix above didn't work any other fixes that work?

 

[adawhite29]

Saiyan Warrior, unfortunately, it is most likely that you will have to reload an older save that isn't corrupted.  Barring that, start the game over.  It is such a fun game that starting over from the point your at shouldn't be too bad.  I find that when I have to back up a lot or start over for any reason, it is always great fun.  When I got that bud, I had to reload a save from 30 days back, but I liked what I did the second time better, so it was cool.  Wish I could give you an answer that includes a fix without starting over.  Maybe someone else can.  Good luck.

 

[kaze-yaida]

It seems to be related to that unamed troops, I do remember seeing him when the battle ended, and it never happened in anything but 5.0

As a sidenote, it seems to only happen aFTER a "conversation" with him occours.
I originally thought the stratigic advisor was the cause but it seems to be some kind of connection between this unnamed troop and the camp.

Perhaps the stratagic advisor(after leaving your party) is "respawned" as an unnamed troops, in which the game is crashing trying to contact this unnamed troops that dosnt exist anymore, thats my theory anyway.

 

[hugeisno1]

I've had this happen to me several times in the past. It seems that there is or was an event that is supposed to cause you to fight a group of bandits at your camp, but it is bugged, causing the game crash

 

[placenik]

I've had this happen to me several times in the past. It seems that there is or was an event that is supposed to cause you to fight a group of bandits at your camp, but it is bugged, causing the game crash

Yep, I reported that at least 5 times. Solution is, just don't camp near the castle between Praven and Dhirim (I forgot name), that is only place where you can have "unnamed troop" bug.
