Crashing

[Kam]

I have not been able to reproduce the crash. Does the log provide any clues?

Not without the game source code, the stack traces are meaningless. Even with the game source code trying to find out what when wrong could take ages.

If you had the unprotected map would that help?

And would you have the time and interest to look through it?

No it would not help at all. I need the game source code which Blizzard owns. Even then it would require you to be able to accurately re-create the crash to debug it properly as different builds have different stack alignment due to optimizations.

With the map I could only look for possible common causes (off edge units etc).

And would you have the time and interest to look through it?

Not if it cannot be re-created or only happened once. It would need to be pretty common to find it this way.

Crashes usually occur as a result of something happening. For example a trigger firing. In very big maps it can be hard to find out what exactly causes it but knowing the run-up to the crash can help.

I can tell you that it occurs when playing one race, or if they are present as an AI. I am limited in my understanding of vjass,etc.
