Visitor3 crashing all the time

[Waterman 0]

I don't know if anyone else gets this, but I find Visitor and buldozer to be very "touchy". Sometimes when I'm working on doing some terrain tweaking, it will crash when I click to highlight an area. Or if buldozer is loading and you tab to another program, it stops responding. It's very annoying and I have lost lots of time when this happens. I do try to remember to save every 10-15mins or so, but sometimes I forget.:rolleyes:

Is this normal, or is it just my computer?

Not really normal.

Depend on how you close both Visitor and Buldozer it can likely crash.

Only way to close without a crash is to Alt-F4 when you have Buldozer highlighted, then close Visitor any normal way .... otherwise they both crash.

Are you opening Buldozer via Visitor itself?

Whats the launch config line inside Visitor?

Is it more likely the cause is addons you are using/displaying?

Ahh, its just done it again and lost about an hours work!:mad:

Yes, I open buldozer through Visitor.

For launch: "P:\buldozer.exe" -window -cfg=buldozer.cfg

buldozer.cfg:

Only addons im using are BI ones. Usually happens when placing roads/ altering terrain.

I've noticed it crashes when placing roads using the road building tool then changing to terrain editing tool with roads still selected (highlighted). It seems to be a very fussy program.
