Crashing Problems? Look here (Thx Major Payne)

The game setting is on hard. It's a single player campaign with the Klingons as an ally against 6 individual randomly selected opponents on AI Hard.

Maybe some races uses some weapon, ship, AIP, station etc. which is buggy.

Hello again everyone! Got another problem for ya. I have tried duplicating construction ships on my Armada 2 so that I would be able to have the different races be able to build different stations. I managed to create a secondary construction ship for the Federation and the Borg, but when I copied all of the relevant information I need to generate a secondary Klingon construction ship, the game crashes. The error message says: Out of Memory-Increase swap file size. Do any of you know how I can rectify this problem? As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

That pretty much always means a missing " in the odf file.

Here's the ODF text for the backup construction ship. I don't see any missing quotes.

I don't think you can have empty builditem lines. Removing the extras should stop the crashing.

[Straxx]

I deleted the extra lines and it STILL crashes, with the same error message.

MaP, if you're still around, I know you can help with this.

Theres something wrong with the string refrenceing, i.e. how Aramda 2 has a list of strings to replace certian code with, some where during the procress of replacing those strings is where the error is occuring.

I have two possible casue of the problem for you.

One you need more memory.
Two theres an error in the Dynamic_Localized_Strings.h file of your A2 install.

If that dosen't work for you someone else will need to help you because that the limit of my understanding.
