Game crashes while playing for 40 minutes to an hour.

[longernamewanted]

When I crash this is what I see, keep in mind the following things. I reinstalled The steam game, and faf. I was having crashes from the Steam version itself and an error report for Gas Powered Games would come up after 2 or more hours of gameplay. I haven't touched the Steam version itself aside from menus (to check if it was working). Since the reinstall. Now however the crashes in faf are far more frequent then they were before. The first time I had faf there were some problems but not crashes. Now I can't go an hour without seeing a crash. I have no idea what is wrong and if you need me to redirect this, then tell me how to get there.

[Androish]

I know nothing about reading logs but:

Do you use the games option for dual screen?
It tends to make the game crash. There are workarounds avaiable to get basicly the same functionality with borderless windowed mode.

[longernamewanted]

I never use dual screen functionality.

[seero]

Back in days i used to get those random unhandled exception in long games, but they stopped appearing after i replaced my RAM modules. If you are using DDR3 theyre almost free nowadays so i suggest trying to get new RAM modules. And make sure that you are not running low in free memory during gameplay.

[longernamewanted]

I don't understand that tho, before the reinstall of both the steam game and faf it was working mostly as intended, now however its acting up and I don't understand why. This is the only game that i have that constantly crashes. Everything else works perfectly, just this does not cooperate. I'm not going to change stuff for one overly demanding game. Btw oh look another crash, but it's different.

[Uveso]

Hello longernamewanted,

in cases of EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION the game.log says not much about it, because this is not a LUA error. The SupCom.exe itself crashed.

Your first error was at adress 0x00915474, the second was at 0x00000000.
With those 2 adresses i only can say, your computer crashes randomly. If we had a game related error, you should crash always on the same adress.

If your game continue to crash, and always on a different Adress, then there are 3 posibilities.

1. Your gamefiles are corrupt. Maybe you installed manual a mod inside the gamediretories etc.
If you reinstall Steam and FAF version, please delete all related directories before you reinstall. This sould prevent odd files.
Also delete all downloaded Mods and Maps.

2. You windowsinstallation is broken. maybe GFX card driver, memory tools, Virus etc.
Reinstall windows.

3. Hardware malfunction.
Even if you PC can serve all other games, Supreme commander has the biggest Memory use of all your games. So memory is probably defect.

Also related is overclocking. If you overclocked Memory or the NorthBridge or Front side bus.

But you already stated that you dont want to change stuff for a single game. So we are done here at this point. Sorry.

[longernamewanted]

Wait, that might help. Can you specify what all the directories are? I'm not a computer genius. I don't have any mods but I do have downloaded maps, how do I get rid of them? My Windows installation was broken previously but it was fixed by a technician. When I said change stuff, I meant I am not going to spend money for this one game. Not going to take it apart for one game etc.

I went ahead and uninstalled everything involved with the game. Tell me if I missed something, please.

deleted local client for Forged Alliance on Steam
uninstalled forged alliance forever
deleted forged alliance game icon in the game folder
deleted gas powered games folder in the my games folder
deleted forged alliance folder in common files in steam app files

Try adding game folder to antivirus exceptions, my antivirus was deleting game files for ages.

[longernamewanted]

does windows defender count as anti-virus?

do you have an antivirus?
