WELL, i have a problem... in mp, on lan setting, both mpr or not, udm game locks up either on first, or definitely 2nd turn. this kind of error comes up

The program trek.exe version 0.0.0.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

any ideas? tried win 7 32 bit laptop combo, tried mpr/d version, nothing works... vanilla ok, fluids ok..

last crash was when i went into research... prev ones where just when i manipulated ship paths.. if i just press turn without changing anything, no crashes

the windows event log is not really helpful in most errors unless they are unexplained and always the same such as the ntdll error. and even then it is just something to blame.

botf error log give most useful info. was there a botf error log?

but what you describe sounds like different installed version or edited version. both (all) should reinstall from same link.

both were fresh installs from website. mpr. fluid mod we had 2 games, minimal crashes for 60 turns each game.. not sure. I looked at udml crash log, I find this

this is one I do not see very often. but still makes me think version conflict. but look at date.

I will reinstall again and see what happens
