Game hangs after 5 couple minutes....

Post by aadje93 »

Hey guys, got a problem :(

After starting a new game, it just randomly hangs after couple minutes (maybe due my extreme stock price? 2k+ while competitors are just starting with 10-20 bucks 8-) )

I've tried complete reinstall, used the latest patch, tryed compatibility mode (windows 7 and XP) starting as admin, didnt do anything. Could you please help? Happens when starting new games so i cant realy give you a save to check it out....

Greetings

Edit, sometimes happens when i "buy over" an CEO from another company (while still making leaps of profit compared to them) Maybe because i make to much moneyz?

Did you encounter the same problem with scenario games too?

You mentioned that it happened when you have an extremely high stock price. If your stock price was in a normal range, did the problem occur?

Hard to tell, i have stock price of ~11k now (my tactic seems to work LOL), others ranging from ~12 bucks -> 284 bucks. For reference a supermarket build price is around 1,030.000. Got an anual profit of around 1,5 bill (year 2016, started in 2000) using the 10 city script from real-world 6.60 which i slightly modified to my liking so its easy mode. I may try again on the stock settings now i see my strategy works like a charm :) It happens randomly, but i noticed it's probarly when a company does a huge share dillution, like 50-55% so i lose control at the exact moment. (i own every company for 100% and try to keep it like that, making to much money with real estate lol) it happens if that message pops up at the same time as another message (like a pay raise for my CTOO or something)

If you want i can zip the savegame and script so you could try it out yourself, but i don't think its due to the script. Happens with the script and without the script

We will investigate the problem.

Could you please provide us with your save game by posting it here as a ZIP file attachment and let me know the steps for triggering the bug with the save game?

Also, for the auto save, you may use the script to modify its auto save frequency. Please see this web page for details: http://www.capitalismlab.com/script---s ... rules.html

Please let me know the steps for triggering the hanging problem with your save games (and please specify which save game to use)?

Hi well it randomly happend while buying shares pretty fast (buying 5%'s when a company did a dilution) use save 003 (the latest one) or any save, they are all from the same play.
