Crash and money problems

[Monty]

Since I updated to the new 56 version and upper the game keeps crashing
Also I reached a certain amount of meney, around 4billion294M and it refuses to collect more money, but the annual profit shows that I have more and more money !

Please help if You can, I can provide a savegame if needed.

Cheers

We need your crash001.txt file (or other crash file), your ttdpatch.cfg,
And we need to know when the crashes appear. About your money,
I don't know... maybe it's the limit of the money I don't think the money is without limit in this game.

I have Crash000-015. Here is the lates, no 15:

While processing GRF file: newgrf/USSETW.GRF; Sprite number: 14A9 (hex)


The crashes apper anytime, not at a specific moment. I have an Athlon 2000+ with 512MB DDR 400 and Radeon 9200 running WinXP Pro. I doubt it's hardver issue.
Interesting thing is the same happens on my girlfriends computer (about the same config). Sometimes the game goes on for hours, sometimes it crashes within a few minutes one ter the other.

Yes, maybe You're right with the money issue, though I'm only in 1990ish, so it's a shame I can't earn more

Thanks in advance!

Try running the game without the USset.
tell me, Are you using more trains graphics?
Give me your newgrf.cfg.

[Monty]

I don't use any other train set. Formerly it worked very well with the USSet.

[Death]

But your crash file has the line:

While processing GRF file: newgrf/USSETW.GRF; Sprite number: 14A9 (hex)

I tell you what, I had had a problem with USstats.grf.
Everything was perfect, but there were crashes.
I opened the crash file and there was the same sentense but with usstats.
So I removed the USstats, and there's no crashes.
If you're removed the usset but the problem still exsist, it might be a bug.

[Patchman]

Do you have the latest version of the US Set? If not, try updating and see if the bug is fixed.

[Monty]

I have the latest version and it worked fine for weeks. The problem arose when I downloaded Goerge's newest long vehicle set and it required the 56 version. I upgraded and the whole thing started.

[Death]

My problem that I wrote above was happen after I had upgraded my version
(I think from alpha 54 to alpha 55). Did you try the game without the USSET?

[Patchman]

I have the latest version and it worked fine for weeks. The problem arose when I downloaded Goerge's newest long vehicle set and it required the 56 version. I upgraded and the whole thing started.

Well, the crash message indicates that the US Set is using an invalid var.action 2 variable. So you might report this to the US Set team and see what they say, but only if you're absolutely sure that you have the latest version already.

The money problem is simply that TTD doesn't know any numbers larger than that, so it stops counting.

And even if you are absolutely certain you have the latest version, download it again anyway. The website didn't get updated with the USSet update.

That 14A9 looks very suspiciously like the bug that caused the latest update.

Patchman, am I talking to myself? I told him that's the money's limit.
And about the USset. Look at the updated version's date, it's Apr.20 2005. I don't think that our friend has an older version.

[Oracle]

The US Set problem was fixed by DaleStan in this post, so download the version there and that problem will be fixed. However, I'm not sure whether it's on the official US Set site, so that might be your problem.

[DaleStan]

And about the USset. Look at the updated version's date, it's Apr.20 2005. I don't think that our friend has an older version.

Like I said (well, intented to say) that page didn't get updated for some reason. The file it links to did, IIRC.
