Crash Issue - Page 2

Wrold of Warcraft still runs fine. Even if it was a spell like Mind Hunt, it wouldn't work at the very first turn of the beginning of a new name.

Same problem here.

The game works perfectly when I make a clean install (version 3.00), but after applying the patch, I know some turn down the line will fail to be processed and then every other one after that will also fail, no matter whether it's a saved game or a new one.

I'm playing without any patch right now, but hopefully we'll find a solution for this.

Cheers,

Alex

Well, are you sure you use the right cd key? There were some reports of problems after press the end button and johan commented that this has to do with copy protection and wrong cd keys are used. I also heard this copy protection was improved with 3.06!

Compare your key in the key file in your game diroctory with your cd key on your manual.

I have experienced some random crashes. Yesterday I was playing a friend on Edi's fixed version of cradles, and on turn 25 or so, the game crashed trying to process the turn.

We tried to run the turn 3 more times, kept crashing so we had to abandon the game.

I recall a crash would occur in DOM_2 when summoning a mummy with the Amon Hotep helm only after a specific patch... this was eventually fixed with a patch, but until the patch I just didn't summon mummies from the helm.

Suggestion to those experiencing crashes: If the crash occurs... try changing what items are being used and what spells are being used.
Also I would say most people posting have purchased a legit copy, but those who have pirated the game don't complain about crashes because 98% of your crashes are coming from the patch by design. The developers will most likely continue making the pirated versions more and more unstable thus turning the pirated copies into more like games with a turn_limit(DEMOS).

Not only do i have a legit version, i bought the legit version for the people i play with. So, that is not an issue.

one is my nephew and one is a close friend that needs some prompting to play dom III with me rather than wow constantly.

I too have many legal copies of Dom3 but have had this problem. So even for legit copies it can be a good idea to at least try deleting the file named key and then let Dom3 prompt you to put the key back in. And one guy I know couldnt fix his problem until he had someone else put in his key (for some reason he kept reading the key in the manual in the same wrong way every time he tried it)
