When does it crash ?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

that isnt fully known to me. it crashed on the pc of the player i played with first but exactly what that player did i cant tell for sure. all i did was build a night elf ship yard and i purchased some night elf mining ships but that havent caused any crashes before.(i tested it again and that didnt cause a crash.) what caused the crash is therefore unknown.

You should've asked the person first.

i did ask the player i was playing with but the only answer i got was that wisps was created and sent to a mine.(i tried that and i didnt cause a crash so then i am out of information.) please help me out. i would help other people in need but i got punished last time i tried that.

I'd say ignore this issue unless it happens again. Unless you find a definite way to reproduce an error, it might be caused by things out of your control.

If it happens again, post again with the following informations:
1) what did you do when it crashed?
2) how did the game crash (Error message, simply returning to desktop, game freeze, server split)?

The second question is extremely important, as it gives your crash details that help to find the culprit.
Crashes with error messages are often caused by incorrect input data of functions.
Crashes back to desktop without any error messages are usually caused by infinite loops.
Game freezes are pretty rare and usually caused by semi-infinite loops or high memory usage.
Server splits are caused by various issues.

the game crashed with an error message.

In this case, play the map again and try to reproduce the error, then post the corresponding triggers.

i tried to play it again but i couldnt get the crash to show up. could the crash be related to something other than things in the map.

It can, if you use a lot of gamecache.
But an invalid use of functions is much more likely. Also, when the error happens again, copy and paste the error message. It may be cryptical stuff, but sometimes you can actually read information out of it, like ability or unit IDs.
