Access Violation Crash
Lerf:
My game has been randomly CTD. I can't seem to ID any pattern to it. All my hacks check out with the SW Hack Conflict Utility and I don't have the Kitten Killer or Insiminator. the Log for the Exception file says it's an Access Violation. I've included the log for the latest crash.
Edited to add: I have all EPs and Stuff Packs. I am not running a no CD Crack.
My computer Specs:
AMD Athelon 1.8 MHZ
2.00 GB RAM
ATI Radeo 9550 256 MB Mem
RealTek AC97 Audio
I understand there may be a problem with SuckyROM and my sound card. Could this be the problem?
It been happening for months-- pre FT-- but seems to be getting worse. No one family or action seems to trigger it. For instance had two crashes today--all the Sims were sleeping during the first one and it was too late for random sims with corrupted skin files to have come on the lot. The second crash occured while the residential lot was loading after a group of Sims had visited a community lot.
jolrei:
So, have you tried the recommended secuROM removal and running from no-cd crack? That would go a long way toward ruling that in or out I would think.
KinwatsaZ:
Hi, I don't have SecuRom and I do have the no-CD crack, every EP up to FT. And the same thing has been happening to my game, for no evident reason. There is NOTHING in the log that tells you Access Violation that gives any hints. What I hate is that the neighborhood stands a good chance then of being corrupted and lost. Just went through that. Same deal. The last time I got that crash I hadn't added any new DL, CC or hacks of any kind to that game. Other time I traced the problem to bad or corrupted CC in some cases. In others, investigating turned up nothing. This was the first time I had the error and had installed no new content. I am suspecting some kind of memory leak...I have three GB of Ram and it seems it had used an awful lot of it.
Lerf:
I'm going to have my husband look over the instructions for removing SuckyRom. If it involves regedit I'd rather he did it since he's a Professional.
I'm currently playing my Vanilla Except for Awesome Hacks game to see if it crashes the same way. If not I'll assume it's a an "undocumented" CC conflict of some kind. It's going to be a Bitch to track down, since I can't find any pattern to the crashes at all.
I wonder if the fact that I'm down to about 5GB space on my hard drive might be a factor?
Kazzandra:
Same sound card chip, no problems, except with surround sound. But that doesn't cause crashes.

Do you often delve into virtual memory? I mean, when you are playing, and you open Task Manager, are you using more than 2 gigs of memory? Because then that very well could be your problem.
