[Melee] Warcraft crashes and error - screenshot included

[Necromancer]

Hi,

Sometimes while playing a custom default map (default melee map with custom changes using the editor) for a long time it crashes randomly and gives an error. As I don't play default maps anymore I can't tell if it's because the map is not supporting something in particular after some long time of play. So if anyone has an idea why this happens I'll appreciate a fix.
Thank you.

With the amount of information you're giving us, it's impossible to tell. What is this custom map? Are there triggers in it ? What are you doing when the map crashes, casting a particular spell or ?

 

[Necromancer]

The map is basically any default map, for example, divide and conquer. Yes there are triggers and they are well tested and not much doing in the map but playing against the AI, conquering bases, etc... last week I was afk for a few minutes and it happened. Also happened in footmen frenzy 9.4, I play that version.

I used to encounter crashes like this back when DotA (1) was still around. Yeah like playing it too much makes your game crash. Im guessing it has somethimg to do with the game's compatibility with your PC? Or the game's version you're playing on? Im not quite sure but that's just me offering my two cents.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Show us the code of the "custom default map". You can claim that the triggers are "well tested", but that isn't convincing imho. Warcraft is "well tested" and yet it has many bugs.

 

[Necromancer]

How can I find the code? By the way the other day I left the game on for like 6+ hours and no crash.

 

[A Void]

Maybe it crashes due to insufficient computer memory to process? Can you show us your map's triggers and your Warcraft 3 folder?

 

[Necromancer]

How do I insert all the triggers here?

Here's the w3 folder.

How to easily post triggers

Ok, these are the triggers in the map. Thanks for the link KILLCIDE.
