Internal Errors, Have a IE? Post here! Options

[SeekSomethingNew]

Well, it seems people are starting to get more internal errors... or is it the fact that they no some one who can read them...

Anyhow, if you are getting Internal Errors, post here your Except.txt and information about what happen when it occured, otherwise i will not help.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

a strange IE.
I tried to move a unit on a hill whose only entrance was blocked by an activated firestorm wall and laserfence. The IE happend exactly at the point, when i shut down the firestorm wall.

i've also reloaded a savegame, saved short time before the IE, and did the same, but then no IE happened.

Its a Hierarchical or a Regular findpath failure from what i see. Was this normal Tiberian Sun or a modded version? First i have seen of this...

a modded version (of course).
Maybe it also has something todo with the amount of units, particles and animations in the savegame. Because i had 4 AI player with all of them having huge bases with a massive amount of units attacking me (4 players with 1-3 attacking teams with each having 5-10 units=40-100 units). At the same time my base defense fired nonstop, causing hundreds of flames and debris (caused by anims with spawned debris).
Finally my game runs on full speed only as fast as on slowest speed setting.

At least it's good to know that it has nothing todo with the changes i've made. Thank you for finding this out.

Its nothing to do with animations, particles or debris of the like. a Unit as had problem setting Cell ###,### as its target or something was in its way that can not be moved or the engine randomly had a error handling.

[SeekSomethingNew]

Ok, this might be a bit foolish question, but I got this when a few Disruptors fired.

The EIP, homever, is something different what I usually get when a laser/disruptor etc crashes my game. (I usually get "006717CB")
Is this WaveClass-related? (I've been trying to fix this problem for a few months, and I'm still trying...)

Your IE is WaveClass_Draw Mr. Rampastein.

[Rampastring]

Your IE is WaveClass_Draw Mr. Rampastein.

Hmpf.. I thought that I got this fixed with some INI editing and by putting visual details to low.

Well, thanks for telling me. (And sorry for posting in the other IE thread, but I didn't know about this one so I posted my problem there)

[SeekSomethingNew]

WaveClass is common for some people, and other not so... I dont really know how to fix it.

[Nod Strike]

Eternal errors for nod AND NOD ONLY. Happens in firestorm, normal TS and any mod.

[Crash]

You gotta say what happens and when it happens and what happens when it crashes.

[SeekSomethingNew]

Hmm, seems to be the same as the other guy yesterday, its Hunter Seeker Related...

[sniper]

im not sure about this but i think this IE happens when a laser tower kills an infantry on a slope.

[Nod Strike]

So how do i fix it?

[SeekSomethingNew]

Sniper, you have a WaveClass error, have you edited any lasers? If its normal TS... it could be random.

Nod Strike. Internal Errors only show you where the game had a error running the code, they only tell you want Class, had a error. Fixing it is the thing you have to do.

[sniper]

the only laser ive edited is the advanced cabal obelisk laser.
and this error happens waay to often for it to be random.

[SeekSomethingNew]

Well, check your lasers then, if its not random and it happens with the one laser, there is a error with it.

[sniper]

the laser that the error occurs with has not been changed in any way.
hmm, its not when an infantry is killed on a slope by the laser, i think it happens when i move the screen away from the laser when the it fires or shortly after. its hard to tell.

[SeekSomethingNew]

Whatever way, the game had a error drawing a laser.

[sniper]

hmm. then i think it happens when the laser turret is on screen but its target is off screen.
then the hole laser isnt drawn or something. ill just give it an obelisk laser and edit its damage.
EDIT: nothings working.

[Dutchygamer]

I have an error too; only it ain't an IE, but the game just freezes. It does create an except.txt file though...
It freezes when a laser kills something, but i only have modded the ai and fixed the TS anims (from LKO's topic)...
A strange thing though: i have played many games before this one with Nod, and it didn't freeze at all. It appears to be random, but it only happens with lasers.

Aye, Mr WaveClass again. It could be a random error and not related to any weapon in specific, but if it happens to a certain object or at a certain time, then you have a problem.

[CommanderSpartan]

I got an IE, its related to my mod, though I can't post it cause this is a school computer. I have to go home and post.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

hmm. then i think it happens when the laser turret is on screen but its target is off screen.
then the hole laser isnt drawn or something. ill just give it an obelisk laser and edit its damage.

am i understanding this right, that you added an obelisk laser clone to the laser turret? Maybe you forgot to remove the Charges=yes and other obelisk relating tags. If you never had problems with lasers with an unmodded TS/FS then it's without much doubt your mod.

[sniper]

no the error happened before i changed it, i thought the change might fix it, but no. i have the original code for everything related to the laser. and for some reason this error just started happening a few weeks ago.

[Dutchygamer]

I'm beginning to wonder that the WaveClass IE is getting more normal these days, even with unmodded games. Maybe the game is getting too old

[SeekSomethingNew]

Seems that way yes, but i think its more likely that no one knew what the IE's where before, so they blamed them on random errors, where in fact its more like WaveClass. I think new systems have something to so with it. Too fast gameplay or too high visual details can sometimes cause this.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

How about starting a topic where all people with waveclass errors post their computer specification? Maybe it reveals a system component that causes these errors.

[Dutchygamer]

Still, why don't you have anykind of WaveClass errors in RA2, which uses the same engine? Maybe they fixed it (or they use a different way of coding)...

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

because RA2 runs even on the fastest pc very slow, due to the many unused stuff that EA left in.
TS is much more optimized and thus runs maybe too fast on some PCs causing waveclass error, what could be similar to the borland pascal "Runtime Error 200", that appeared on too fast machines too.

[SeekSomethingNew]

Also the fact that RA2 does not use the orignal (and more than likely under development) WaveClass. Plus i dont think you will get anything from computer spec's, but i would think graphics cards and CPUs would be the problem. Ill talk to pd more.
