i also heard about games crashing because of a lack of ram (what should not be the case on your PC and if you say that there were not sooo many units), anyway maybe you also have a look on your ram (taskmanager) and you could also try to reinstall FA (this one can always help

1. Yes, just looking quickly through the games some of the maps where it has happened are:
-5v5 Battle of Thermopylae B, replay 445902
-Voodoo Game Enders War v1, replay 445448
-4v4isis, replay 442626
I will need more time to go through my replays to pinpoint others that this has happened. This has happened 4 times in my recent 5 games. The map that this did not happen on was a Setons map.

2. It seems to happen at that point. The battles are getting intense. These are teams games so we are at about T3 phase to early experimental.

3. Stratocaster was in the last two on the list above and Waldi was in the the first two on the list above. But none of them were present in the original post replay that I linked to. As soon as I crash out though I go back and see the live replay. They all are playing just fine till they finish the game.

4. Not really, I think I was at most 300 to 350 units.

As to your link, I cannot continue the game. The exception window pops up in the background and that is what freezes the game. The only options it give is to abort, debug, or copy the text to the clipboard. I will check my hard drive though and see what the health condition is.

Thanks for responding and the help.

Game Freezes after about 25 min of play

2012-11-25T04:15:36+02:00

Hi, my games have been freezing quite a number of times these last many games, usually around the 25 minute mark (in game timer).

Here is my game.log It has been edited to remove all the entries where the maps were loaded, otherwise pastebin would not accept it due to its size.

Here is my faforever.log

Here is also what was shown in the exception window that popped up for FA

Here is also a copy of the replay for the game up until it froze.
Map is "Voodoo Doppel Thermo v2" by Master Lee

I cannot seem to get a download of the full game replay. It was game 448207

So the problem is that the game plays fine up until about the 25 minute mark and then just freezes (not a hard crash to windows). I alt-tab out and there is the exception window. I can alt-tab back into the game and both my screens pop up with all the graphics intact, just cannot do anything. In previous games replays that I went back to after the game freezes, everyone else continued playing just fine.

I do run a number of the popular UI mods but this has not happened since I started to get back into FA in August/September'ish. Tried reinstalling FA and FAF and I was good for 2 games then this latest freeze. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
