Guest Killjoy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've been having a problem with SB crashing out with "Steel Beasts has stopped working. Find solutions" window.I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but that doesn't seemed to have worked.Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 12, 2014 Members Share Posted January 12, 2014 So, even if you try to run Steel Beasts now, it won't start? In that case there may be a corrupt file that gets loaded while you start SB Pro which survived the uninstall process. Obvious candidates are the options file, and the records file. Their locations are described in the user's manual, chapter 2 (the boring section about the file structure which you thumbed through because you would never need that kind of nerdy info... ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj.Hans Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 My copy of Pro PE has a crash error every single time I play it.Every time I press a key or click the mouse to skip the end credits slide show, the application crashes to my desktop and I get an error reporting window.I haven't mentioned this problem until now because, well, come on, if an application is going to crash this would be the time to do it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunc Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Checking the log file (debugLog.txt) at "<My Documents>\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\logs" might also give some indications on what is wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I've been having a problem with SB crashing out with "Steel Beasts has stopped working. Find solutions" window.I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but that doesn't seemed to have worked.Any ideas?Make sure you wipe every file and trace of SB then reinstall from a fresh download.Also check your direct X version also you mite be able to do a windows roll back to a time When It Did work.But I would go for a total reinstall you can back up your skins and stuff to disk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invader ZIM Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I would get some random crashes in the sim, even when exiting the program like Maj. Hans, but running a malware scanner like Malwarebytes, I found some other issues with my computer that were interfering with normal applications running.After the scan cleaned them up, I've been playing crash free for months.Just a suggestion, sometimes it's not the program itself, it's a symptom of something else going on with the computer sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maj.Hans Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Running the current version on XP Pro 64bit, SP2 here.Like I said before, runs great, generates an error after the end credits/slideshow which isn't really a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 13, 2014 Members Share Posted January 13, 2014 I still don't like that. It's a symptom of something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmi Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Sometimes something makes keypad not responding. Game itself doesn't crash (I think) Only way then is turn off the computer... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Colossus Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 i get crashes in the mission editor for one particular scenario for a particular map i've been working on- it seems like it started happening after a point when i started adding lots more buildings and villages in the map editor. Â the crash will occur when i attempt to save the scenario as it's being updated in the mission editor, but when i boot steel beasts again, launch the mission from the mission editor, it will work again- it just seems to crash each time changes are being made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 15, 2017 Members Share Posted November 15, 2017 There should be crashdump files that we'd be interested in, and of course the map and scenario itself. ... assuming that this is SB Pro PE 4.0 you're talking about. With 3.0 crashes could occur if the 32 bit process was simply running out of memory due to an overly complex map (which is why we switched over to 64 bit, among other reasons). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mention the terrastan map because i have had similar issues to the ones described here with that map, and have been told by other users that it has been problematic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 16, 2017 Members Share Posted November 16, 2017 I don't doubt that you had your reasons, but then it would make sense to open a separate thread about it. Programmers might read this thread at some point and if there are too many different issues discussed at the same time this can become confusing (and therefore delay a solution). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
