Hey People.

Just an idea about crashdump files, For some reason i only ever have one crashdump file in my install directory at any given time (after a crash) however whenever i goto open the folder or to upload it on here it always says its empty so i try and open it on my computer and it tells me it is either an unknown format ( i use winrar for my zip files) or has become corrupted........

My guess needs your help to verify for those that have empty crashdumps aswell........

My guess is this and that i have the latest version which chris has bought out and i see that the crashdump has been having a few problems in previous versions aswell from reading posts ( i think )
I believe the crashdump overwrites itself for each crash using only the same folder same thing as screenshots (did/or is) so just wondered if people would delete there crashdumps and next time one is created to have a look and see if it has a size to it......

This could just lead to me trying to help and not actually knowing anything so could be nothing or it could half the problem which might help Chris know where to look on fixing it......

Great game

The crashdump is not a zip file. That's why you can't open it up with winrar/zip or others.
You can't upload custom file types on this forum so chris changed the .dmp to .zip (manually) so people uploading don't get errors.
(Just saying, so you don't loose time trying to open what seems a corrupted file with winrar)

Wish i had read that a few seconds earlier

Ok that makes sense but there still 0KB in size

Yeah they replace the old one like screenshots. If you delete old crashdumps, and there is a crash it still will become 0Kb's depending on the crash. I always move my crashdumps and screenshots from the main folder and still get crashdumps with size and with no size.

I would also suggest deleting crashdumps off the forums after you know chris downloaded them, You could tell by the download count. There is not vital or dangerous information but information in them all the same, & it can be read easily.

The 0-size crash dump bug is now fixed! Update soon.

Cheers Chris

I forgot to mention that it didnt work for me by deleting the old one i still got 0 KB size

But now you fixed it Bonus



Bug finally fixed (ty chris), topic locked. Pm any Mod for help with anything ~~1337
