Author Topic: Crash/Freeze on Save  (Read 613 times)

Unfortunately my computer sometimes freezes when I try to save. It's precisely once it's done counting whatever it counts when you save a build. The computer freezes solid -- completely unresponsive. I have to reboot. It's also done it once when I wasn't even doing anything in the game. Blockland is the only thing that does it to my computer. Here's some information to help diagnose the problem:

  • I have very few add-ons, but it's hard to test whether they are the problem, since it doesn't freeze every time I save.
  • By my recollection it's always happened when there are events on the map. They have been extremely simple events, sometimes just a single event, but they are there.
  • There has also always been at least one light, and, of course, bricks.
  • It happens on any map.
  • I am using the RTB 2.01 addon.
  • I checked the console file and didn't spot anything unusual at the time of the crash, but I can post it anyway if someone wants to see (I'll have to try to get it to crash again though)
:(
  • It's happened both on LAN and Internet servers hosted by me, with at least one other person building with me.
  • My drivers are up-to-date.
  • One time it happened at exactly 10:30 and another time at exactly 10. Possibly unrelated, but I couldn't help but notice this.
  • I'm using Windows XP.

That's all I can think of to help right now. I'm happy to give more information that will help solve it. Thanks in advance for any helpful hints on how to stop this :)

Do you have a stuffty computer ?


Oh.
Downloaded something ?

Are you asking if I downloaded some sort of malicious software or similar? Not that I'm aware of. I did some scans (AVG, Spybot, etc.) but couldn't find anything suspicious. I reformatted within recent months, and take careful care of my computer. I haven't ruled out the possibility of there being harmful software of some kind, though.

Any other ideas?
