Introversion

I've collected all the darwinians on the first island with an officer then I try to send them in the radar post, the game hangs, and doesn't crash so no blackbox is generated.

I have 1 squad, generated at the second island and walking around the 2nd island, and 2 engineers on the second island, also killed quite a lot virus thingies (those >>>>>> thingies).

I also had this happen, and can replicate it. It appears to happen when you have reprogrammed both radar towers, i.e. the one on the first island, and the destination one on the island with the refinery.

Yep, also it randomly hangs with the officers sometimes... when you move the darwinians around most of the time.

I can confirm that.

Yep. I can also confirm that, although I'm gonna see if I can replicate it without having anything on the second island, ie the first thing I do being sending the Darwinians over.

Slightly off topic, I had some issies getting some people into the 3rd Radar when it was pointed at the 4th Radar. However, this seems to sort itself out once I re-aligned it with the 2nd radar and then back to the 4th.

Other issues have been odd pathfinding issues resulting it squads getting stuck, so I had to delete them and make new ones. Right, from now on I'm keeping a pad of paper handy, and maybe some sort of screenshot taking program.

This just happened to me,

I had only made 1 officer and had split the darwinians into 2 groups. One I took to the radar and, then the game hung.

I will try and replicate it.

EDIT:

I have tried it again and it does the same thing.

I made the officer order the darwinians to go to the radar by right clicking on it. It then just hangs.

I have tried it from different camera angles:

This last one I had sent and engineer to reprogram on the second island and the control thing on the first island had also been reprogrammed.

Darwinia has a built in screenshotter. Just press 'p' and it take a screenie of your current view. It even works in the Task Manager.
Only problem is, you'll need to convert it from .bmp format to get a decent size for internet viewing.

Same with me, click on a darwinian created the officer sent it to the radar post and it froze locked up had to do Ctrl Alt Dlt to close Darwinia.exe.

Is it necessary to confirm this again? Maybe not, but I'll confirm it.

if anyone wondered, it will hang even if the radar on mine-island is aligned to both radar on island 1 and radar 2 on ref-island.
But it doesn't hang before the darwinians are on the other side

anyone know exactly when it hangs?
edit: After some testing it seems to hang after the darwinian enters the tower but before the spirit is spawned in the connection-line

Also, this doesn't happen if the officer isn't close to the tower himself (maybe within "earshot"?)
edit: with earshot i mean the effective ordergiving range of an officer
umm, you know how near you have to be to be able to get darwinians to do what the officer says

Confirmed here as well.

Also had this hang.

Created 2 engineers to simultaneously activate both radars, after activating both (in the order of radar 1 then radar 2), brought engineer from radar 2 back to first island and terminated it. Then created officer to send darwinians through radars. Game hung after RMB click for officer order.

=== No black box ===

Just aimed the radar dish on the first island. Created an officer, and froze right away on the first right-click. I was just clicking on the ground, not on the dish. Sounds like the same problem.

Confirmed, sort of. I teleported my first officer and some darwinians using the dish, and then when I tried to create a second officer it hung.

it may be because we didnt 'activate' the building next to the radar dish on the second island with an engineer, because i could only get it to hang if i forgot to activate the second building. maybe thats not the problem tho

Just happened to me as well. The radar wasnt active on my game and it still crashed. :/

Heres the blackbox.
