OOTP always crashes during long-term sims.

BradG223 · 07-13-2017, 02:52 PM

I usually sim many years at a time and in 18 I have never been able to make it more than a couple years before the game crashes. This happens on both my desktop and my laptop. This is an issue I didn't experience on 17 and it is starting to get a little frustrating.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I would typically guess this is probably the result of something going on with your system, but it's weird it would be happening on multiple computers.

The best thing would be if you could fill out a support ticket (link in my sig) and when you do so, give me whatever info you can to start like your systems specs. Also any info on programs that you might have installed on both computers, particularly those that might be running at the same time as OOTP (your anti-virus f.e.).

Once I get that, we can go through some troubleshooting and see what we find.

You could try that, but if the problem is only with one saved game, it may be that the save is corrupt.

The first thing to try would be to restore the save from the autosave function and see if that helps.

I have the same anti-virus (eset) installed on both machines and I tinkered with it on my desktop and everything seems to be in order at the moment. If it was the antivirus was holding me back; funny it effects ootp 18 and not 17.

Anyways, thanks so much for your help.
