I have a saved game that worked well in TTDPatch version 29, however in all newer versions it crashes at the start or does not load at all just gives me a black screen and a crash log.

I have tried to run it with a basic ttdpatch.cfg and an empty newgrf.cfg, it loads okay but starts in 'pause' mode and as soon as I click on the pause button it gives me a black screen and errors. With my updated ttdpatch.cfg file it just goes straight to a black screen.

I am running under Windows XP home.

I have added the game, the basic ttdpatch.cfg file and the original ttdpatch.cfg file

The crash log is this

Sounds like the order table has become corrupted. I don't think there's a way to fix that, sorry.

By the way, the same thing happens for me when I try it in alpha 29 too...

I found out that when I leave my ttdpatch.cfg but remove newgrfw.cfg .... then the game works fine (alpha33 here) ... it looks like a graphic bug somewhere .... I will test it more

you won't belive ... that bug ... was hard to track ... because 2 GRF files crash it ... :
DBSetXL and Polish Signals (at least here both crash the game)

i'm adding all crash files that was created during tests and that Polish Signals graphic

I tried mine again using version 29 with the basic ttdpatch.cfg file and an empty newgrf.cfg file and it worked okay although I had some very confused ships as all the canal locks had disappeared. I also tried it with version 33 and no newgrfw.cfg file and I had the same error as before.

What is the order table and could I rejenerate it by recreating the original TTD Windows program?

I looked into and it seems that the game works for me with normal signals (altough with Polish ones it does not work) .... I found also all my crashlogs diffrent, so let's hope it will be source of knowledge ...
Patchman said, he will look into the savegame what is wrong ...

as for you CEW, try my ttdpatch.cfg (which I am now posting) with empty newgrf[w].cfg (or better remove it)

thanks for your version of ttdpatch.cfg.

my program now works although obviously it has not got the new graphics.

I will try adding the new graphics gradually to see if any of them cause it to error, maybe that will help track down the problem.

thanks for your help.

I have tried all the graphics with no problems.

I will now try and see if there are any differences between the two ttpatch.cfg files that cause the error.

I have tested all the differences between your version of ttdpatch.cfg and mine and found that the switch that was causing my program to error was 'morevehicles'. I had it set to 1 and you had it set to 6. Now that I have changed my version of ttdpatch.cfg my game works okay - brilliant!

Was there something in version 30 that caused the error or was i just unlucky?

Thanks for all your help.
