Constant crashes late in games

[gparancz]

I have installed Build 44. I use openGL for 3D only. I have the latest video driver, But my historical replay games crash constantly late in games. Usually between innings in the 8th inning after the third out and the option box appears but the video freezes and the sound comes on for a moment and then the game shuts down. Sometimes it happens in the 7th or 9th inning as well but never earlier in a game. If I exit and save a game midway through and then re-enter it the game will usually conclude properly. The game is acting as though after a set time it runs out of video memory and can't handle any more 3d graphics. Never experienced this in OOTP 23.

I am using Sylvan's modified historical stadiums. Any thoughts on what may be causing this? This is a wonderful game otherwise.

If you update to build 48, it should fix most of these.

There still seems to be one super random crash that very rare we may not have fixed yet, but fortunately it's like a 1 in 10,000 chance or so, so you ma y not even run into it on build 48 and we should hopefully have tracked down a fix for the next patch.

Same issue here.

Our latest build 52 was released this morning and does include a 3D memory leak bug patch that could be what you're seeing with your video memory issue. Please update your games to Build 52 and let us know if that fixes the issue or not.

Thanks

Hi Alex! Hope you are well. I have had this same issue with no mods at all playing in Modern 3D engine. I have followed all the steps listed on the game freezing thread and submitted at this stage 4 support tickets. It’s s bummer because it normally happens 6 or more innings to a game and really makes me wanna stop getting invested.

Here is my info
1. PC
2 Windows 11
3. Steam
4. -
5.. video card: Intel(R) UHD Graphics with 8000 MB of shared memory on a system with 16 GB RAM and 117 GB of free memory of 457 GB total
6. See above - late in game 3D engine game play
7. Every save I have done
8. I am on mobile but can send this to you if helpful

I am not sure where to post this but this feels like a relevant place.

Thanks! Reid

My Game was crashing during gameplay as well around the 7th inning. Here is how I was able to fix it. First I reinstalled the game on my C drive and not my original secondary hard drive.
1) Installed the latest patch 24.3.52
2) Uninstalled the game from Steam
3) deleted all second-party mod files that I was using in 24.
4) Reinstalled the Game from Steam
4) did a verification of local files from steam (report showed no issues)
5) Played the game

Initially, I turned off the sound but after one game I turned it back on and even increased some of the settings to test, and no crashes.

Hello, I am still having this problem on the most recent version of OOTP 24, build 61. I am running OpenGL 4.6, I'm on windows 10, it's happening on both windowed and full-screen mode, my drivers are up to date. Late in a 3d game, the animations will start to lag, and sometimes I'll "click to advance," get a blue loading wheel for a moment, and the game will crash. It's incredibly infuriating, I've tried every fix I could find on the forums and I'm still getting the crashes.

First time, long time here. I'm having the same issues listed above. All updates/suggestions have been tried as listed.

I've also noticed a lot of times before this happens, relief pitchers and occasionally 3d outfielders will disappear. The ball will still be there, but it's being thrown by an invisible man!

Any new information about this? I just had another crash in the 8th inning. I've attempted all of the suggestions listed on these forums and it's still crashing. It's very irritating for someone that's been buying this faithfully for years to not have a reliable game this long after it was released. I sincerely hope this is rectified soon.
