Is there anyone else who's GFFA map just randomly crashes after a long time? Say 40-60 weeks in? There is no single thing that causes it. Could it just be the EAW engine giving out after a certain amount of time because of all the planets and ships? Though this might be stated as the GFFA GC is unstable and I know that Pheonix is working on A fix for 1.1 is there any way to fix it? If not and the fix is in 1.1 how long till 1.1 is out? (I know I shouldn't be asking that from a modder.) But a general idea of when the patch will be out would be greatly appreciated.
Apart from the GFFA crash with no exceptions the mod works perfectly.

From what I remember, most of the errors in GFFA have something to do with the CSA that's hard to pin down. You may want to take a look at the bugfix threads.

how long till 1.1 is out? (I know I shouldn't be asking that from a modder.)

I think you more or less answered your own question. I don't think there's much of a set date at the moment.

Ya I did those and it still crashes. CSA is not an AI any more and AI doesn't move it's ships around too much. Could it happen cause the AI has too much money or some other odd thing?

Edit: even made ship movement slower. I think by half.
And 1.1 can come out when it's done, just curious as to the status. Probibly just "Work in Progress". :(

I don't know why it would crash without an exception error...Perhaps your computer stats are low? No offense if they're high, of course.

As for 1.1, PR is trying to perfect space, so it's undetermined as to when it'll come out.

I think PR said around the end of August if things do not come up. Anyway no way to be sure. The crashing is not because the engine is giving up it is just over taxed. The CSA ai is probably trying to do something that the XMLs cannot do and it crashs.

I reinstalled the mod with the enhanced mod and it works so far. Hoping it stays that way.

The only suggestion I can give you is to reinstall FoC and PR. :wink_new:

I still had the same problem after installing the mini-mods. So I went thought campaigns xml and deleted any refrence to the CSA myslef, and so far (180 weeks in) its run prefectly well, with no problems.

Well I have bigger problems now. My CD/DVD of FoC decided that it would crack and no longer register as the orignal Foc CD. Anybody know of a good no CD crack for FoC?

I crash occasionally even with all the bug fixes. Whatever, I just hope this is fixed. I mean I did the CSA AI fix to reduce lag it helped somewhat but the game still lagged.

Is it the actual CD that's not working, or the CD key?

The Actual CD. Fortunately I haddn't un-instlled it yet. It's not a scratch either. It's a crack on the disk.

Ouchies. Too bad it's not just the key or something...That would be easier to fix.

So I'm guessing that you don't know of a good No-CD Crack?

Nope. I can only tell you to look on websites like Filefront, EaW Filefront, and such.

Hello there.

First time poster, and i'd like with this ocasion to congratulate everybody working on this mod for a great job.

Now about the problem at hand:
I'm getting crashes without any exception. Now i've installed the improved AI, the aestetics pack and PR enhanced, but i also modified the files myself a bit.

What i did is combine the Core worlds map and the Inner rim map for the rebels. I combined the locations, the trade routes, and the pirate bases.

The CSA AI is turned off.


In most cases the crash appears around turn 20, and if i load the autosave from a minute before it, it crashes in the exact same time.

But the weirdest thing is that if i use the stock outrer rim campaign i don't get any crashes!

Probably a result of your changes. I'd suggest just waiting for the new release at this point.
