Still crashing with fatal error

[Verb8im]

Hey guys. I'm still having problems with the game crashing with fatal errors. I was redoing the campaigns, so playing a custom campaign, with different models, skins, adding heroes, adding a few new triggers, etc. However, the Orc chapter 8 mission and onwards into the whole night elf campaign, crashes. I get to the split second before the action occurs where the ending cinematic would trigger, and it crashes. Such as, right before Thrall approaches the ritual circle, it crashes. Right before the killing blow is landed on the paladin in the first night elf mission, it crashes. I have no idea what to do. I've tried EVERYTHING I could think of. I've tried reinstalling, I've tried doing the war3.reg, I've tried using different compatibility modes, I've tried deleting everything and having the vanilla game the way it was before I made changes, NOTHING has worked. I'm getting really frustrated, cause I basically can't play my modified maps anymore, without the ending cinematics. If someone has any suggestions on what I haven't done yet that might work, I would greatly appreciate it.

It only crashes when you used a certain model or not??

I've hunted for these things before, and it's a giant pain. Here's how I solved it:

Make a copy of your campaign. Then delete as much irrelevant stuff as you can, see if you can get the map just down to the part that crashes. Then start removing new models and using old ones, removing triggers, and everything else until the crash stops. Basically, you need to find the trigger that is causing the crash. Once there you can usually solve it.

I would look at any trigger that involves a dying unit. Those triggers fire immediately when a unit is killed (interrupting other triggers and so on). They can often cause infinite loops.

The important thing is to isolate the trigger though.

The instruction at '0x150348BC' referenced memory at '0x00000000'.
The memory could not be 'read'.

The memory adress tells you that this is a nullpointer exception. You probably forgot initializing a variable, like creating a group or region or trigger before accessing it, etc.

If you look at the memory dump, the last command was "TriggerExecute". You probably forgot creating the trigger before executing it. Check out whatever trigger was supposed to run when the game crashed for missing variable initializations.

Have you tried running the game as an administrator always?

I don't what trigger it could be though. The only triggers I made for the map was training another hero on the human team, and reviving that hero when he dies. No other new trigger is there

There are two native names on the thread stack. These could either be garbage left on the stack from un-initialized local arrays or the crash is occurring during or around execution of those natives.

Post these triggers.
