Comments on: “Sharky’s Air Legends” preview #3 build released. How does a 5 vs 5 battle sound? http://sharky.bluecog.co.nz/?p=161 Home of the Air Legends game for Xbox 360 and Windows, Bionic Shark Studios, XNA game development & other madness Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:22:43 +0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Sharky http://sharky.bluecog.co.nz/?p=161&cpage=1#comment-47379 Sharky Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:10:59 +0000 http://sharky.bluecog.co.nz/?p=161#comment-47379 Thanks for the feedback Philippe. I agree, logging would certainly help and I'll see what I can do. I am surprised you're getting a crash so quickly with the Windows version though. The only crashes I've been getting are with the XBOX 360 version and I've been looking into that. Or if I play for ages I can make the windows version run out of memory (I fixed that last night, not released yet though) Have any of my previous builds worked for you? http://sharky.bluecog.co.nz/?page_id=27 Sounds like you got past the menus, so I'm guessing you must have all the prerequisite stuff installed and updated... - XNA 2.0 - and have you done a recent WebUpdate for DirectX? (I'd do this anytime a new XNA comes out) - .NET Framework 2.0 Thanks for the feedback Philippe. I agree, logging would certainly help and I’ll see what I can do.

Unfortunatelly, I have no idea how I can help you debugging this windows installation as I have no logs written. If you want your readers to help you out, maybe you could just add some try...catch with a TraceListener attached to a file output so that we can at least send you over some exception information? Cheers, Philippe Hi Sharky,

That's one reason it's still a "preview" release. hehe. With all the extra planes flying around now, I need to look at memory usage. I think all the extra particles (smoke, explosions, bullets etc...) might be consuming too much memory after playing for a bit. Get's garbage collected, but sometimes not soon enough. That's my guess anyway. On the 360 I get similar symptoms. Play for 5 minutes and eventually it crashes - sometimes. Yeah. That’s one reason it’s still a “preview” release. hehe.

It seems to happen after horsing around button mashing for about a minute. :) I found a crash in the game in the Windows version where shortly after you collide with a ship and die it errors some times.
