Random Crash
« on: 10 February 2009, 03:09:59 »
Sometimes, especially when I am teesting out new particle systems, Glest crashes seemingly for no apparent reason and then, even wierder, it makes up some random reason why it crashed, as if I had changed the XMLs and it was crashing because of that.  But I know this is not the problem because the previous time it did not crash, and so I know it has to do with the engine.  This happens when I test a particle system, then exit the game (but not Glest, so for clarification, I just hit ESCAPE and chose to exit Glest), then change the particle system to tweak it to make it the way I want, then begin another game.  I know this sounds like the doctor/idiot patient scenario (Idiot: Doc, every time I hit my head against the wall, it hurts!  Doctor: Then stop doing it!) :D but seriously, is there a problem with the engine.  This problem I only see on Glest v 3.1.2, but that's because it's the only one I use.

I've also noticed a similar bug on vista only. It involves AppData and is caused by the fact that after some time (unknow how exactly it works) vista likes to create the xmls in app data and Glest uses those ones, NOT the ones in the original glest folder. Oddly, it also saves screenshots, logs, dumps, and other xmls there...
