No need to apologise @Jip , I'm sure you've got plenty more pressing things on your plate. The only difference i can see is similar to what @camber mentioned before - Any saved game over the 200mb file size seems to cause the crash when loading. Fingers crossed it's something simple - Normal Forged Alliance Skirmish is nowhere near as fun playing FAF Skirmish

Hey @Jip , I know it's been a while but this issue is still happening? I was wondering if you ever found out what might be causing this issue?

Please see the following link for two save games - One that loads (4) and one that doesn't (5)

Would really appreciate if you could shed a little light on the situation...Do they both load for you?

Thanks David

What do you mean by that @Jip ?

If you mean how do i load the saved game...

I run the patched .exe via
C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe

Click "Skirmish" and click "Load game" then select the saved game file.

The Skirmish is started the same way, using the patched exe.

Sorry for the delay, Still loosing lots of time with this scenario.

Saved Game:
YSTD - Saved Game Example

TIA @Jip

I don't seem to have this issue when playing via the steam launcher.

I've also re-installed the game and FAF Client but have the same issue when launching via the patched exe.

Do the logs not give any indication as to what might be happening?

Thanks

Updated the original post with a screenshot. The "In Transit" screen does it's thing but it looks like it crashes just before the game renders and then exits to windows.

So to confirm, i do not actually reach "In Game"

and it only impacts some "mid to late game" saved games (usually once a T4 unit eg CZAR, Mavor, Novax) is being built/has been built on the map.

I'm running game patch 3724 and this issue has predated this patch.

Appreciate your responses

To confirm i've also tried the following:

Uninstalled Sonic Studio and tried running the exe without sound as detailed here (https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15689)

Set the graphics to lowest possible.

Run exe as administrator and tried all compatibility options.

Mods deactivated:
Retirement V1.0
Resource Rich V1.0
Nothing But Time V1.0
Chess V1.0
Total Annihilation Music V4.0

And this was a saved game load from last night

V1.6.0 FAF

Savegame file is 222.5mb in size (cant share here due to size and not sure if you can take it and load it to test?)

Still no luck.

This is the only other similar problem i've found...

I've installed FAF and play online sometimes but this is playing skirmish via the FA launcher: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe

Hi All,

I was trying to avoid posting a request for help here as i generally like to solve issues myself but i cannot find anything similar to my issue here on the forum.

I'm playing a lot of Skirmish against the AI and i save my game periodically. It seems that if i try and load my later saves it results in a crash and return to desktop with the error reporter to GPG.

It seems to impact saves once a T4 unit is being built/has been built - that's the only two things i can seem to join up, generally i can return to a much earlier save and play the game through to the end but this leads to hours of lost time.

Have tried deleting game prefs and running the exe in compatibility mode but no luck.

Would really appreciate if anyone might be able to shed some light on the situation?

Logs attached - TIA!
