Hi all. VVBlastFuryVV has pointed out a potential problem with an inexplicable crash when on the Solis Maglev - it's especially annoying because I can't replicate the crash, since all the events seem to be in working order. I'm gonna keep digging into it, if anyone else comes across it could they send me a comment or a PM?

Thanks - I'll post and update as soon as I've got some clues.

Interesting game you have here, I quite like it's style.
About the random crash, have you asked blastfury's system specs? Ace tends to crash on lower end machines in particularly event(or script) intensive areas. Another possibility is the famous graphic disposing bug. Are you using the bugfix for it? Go here if you aren't. Good luck with your debugging!

Yah, I've got Mithran's debugger plugged in and doing it's thing already. Actually, Galv originally recommended it, which is why he gets a special thanks in the opening credits.

I think the theory me and Blast agreed on was that the problem was Windows 8.1 - and if the problem is with anything other than the scripts/events it's well beyond my knowledge to even begin fixing. That's super frustrating (I want to help as many people as possible who're experiencing problems).

I say this so often that it must have started to sound like just a tagline, but good feedback is like Christmas morning to me so thank you for the comment :)

I really doubt that Win 8 is the sole cause of the issue. Like a lot of the other issues that occur when RM games are played in Win 8. I played your game, and all other RM games, just fine in Win 8. It's usually an issue with the type of hardware of that PC not being fully compatible with Win 8, or the parts of the OS that are used to run these old programs, or something along those lines.

These kinds of random, non-recreatable errors pop up in many games and there is nothing you can do about it. That person can do a few basic things, like run in admin mode or compatibility mode, but just ask them to play it on someone else's computer. Don't pull your hair out trying to make your game work for every PC/OS configuration out there.

Yeah, the final thought of that agreed theory was that I couldn't do anything to help. Blast was reviewing at the time so I helped in getting past the crashes by sending editing save files, but once I'd established that it wasn't an event causing the problem, I realised there was nothing I could really do.
