canshow Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Ok, UCCE keeps crashing randomly for me. One crash is when i was on the bridge, the other one was where i was going to press EXIT on the perscan. Im not sure why its crashing, i got the latest stuff to keep it from crashing. Any help? This has atleast wasted 7 hours of my gametime now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Which version are you using? What's your config? Which drivers are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalshion Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Save often. Usually a reinstall of the game will fix your problem (it did for me) but sometimes it doesn't. Also, if you have beta drivers installed that might cause an issue - if all else fails, then disable any services that are not important to the running of your system. You'll be amazed at what is running that really shouldn't (like Impulse, or Steam) that can in fact cause a game to crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 What Kalshion said. As a general rule, use the latest official, supported drivers for your hardware and the latest supported, non-beta patches for the game. UCCE (not the beta version) is the most stable game of the series, so if there are crashes, it mostly comes from bad drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canshow Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 im using the latest version thats not beta. idk what u mean by drivers, i use the CD i mean. i have AMD athlon™ 64 X2 dual core processor 5600+ 2.80GHz ram 3GB 32-bit operating system and i update my computer constantly, so all drivers should be updated my config my crashes occur when i dock my shuttle with 10 cargo items. i cant fix it at all. its really annoying me edit: Sorry, i cant make the image any larger, photobucket just brings it down to 300x300 all the time, but u shud be able 2 make out most of the settings, and i also try changing the settings like putting the filters on and stuff, but it still crashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I meant drivers for that hardware of yours. Check you're using the latests online, those provided on CD are usually way outdated. Now, if upgrading those drivers doesn't fix it, describe precisely what's going on (check this thread for an example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photobucket will automatically downsize any large images to 1024x768 For example: Your images stored at Photobucket will all have a UBB code line that you can just copy and paste into a thread response. Now, as for your crashes.... Are you using a screensaver? Do you have any auto updated A/V software running? Is Windows set to update automatically? Somebody slip you a mickey trojan worm that is spoofing your e-mail account? Any one of those items coupled with UCCE could be grinding your CPU to a halt The BC series has always been processor intensive, so anything else running in the background can cause crashes with any processor intensive application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canshow Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 well idk how to do it then, i cant resize it and all that crap as for A/V, i have AVG on. Im gonna try running UCCE in administrator mode, and then try picking up the shuttle. if that doesnt work, ill turn off my A/V and see how it runs. My windows updates is on automatic i have no screensavers and as for the trojan, nope, i would've noticed, or my A/V wuda noticed it. EDIT: I tried what i said. In administrator, i guess UCCE would have its own folder, since i had no saved games in that mode. And with my A/V off, UCCE still crashed a few seconds after the shuttle docking. And im not going to reinstall. I have a feeling i won't be able to play my saved game if i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Maybe you could upload the saved game somewhere so that we can try it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbal101 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 im amazed you figured out how to turn on your computer. save files are in wherever you keep your UC file, usually, C:/Program Files/300AD/ Universal Combat/data/ Save files or something like that.

RT Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Make a search on your whole harddrive, looking for player0.sgd, should help you. Now, what about checking the various folders in "My documents", especially the one labbeled "My games" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Make a search on your whole harddrive, looking for player0.sgd, should help you. Now, what about checking the various folders in "My documents", especially the one labbeled "My games" ? Saved games have no business being there. They are in a single location as you pointed out. He says he has UCCE, so they would be in C:\Program Files\3000AD\Universal Combat Collectors Edition\save assuming he didn't change the game's default install location. Anyway, I have no idea why you're wasting time on this. First of all, he needs to take a look at your sig and modify his to match yours, so we can see his sys specs.
