King of the Hill Endless map still c ...
The map crashes to desktop every time I try to play it. Sometimes it crashes 15 waves in, sometimes it crashes the moment I select it. Most recently it crashed 36 waves in.
Honestly, it's getting kind of ridiculous. It doesn't matter what traps I use, single player or co-op- this map just seems to be trouble.
Help. :c
Tried verifying the steam file cache?
A note about validating the files: One file always needs to be reacquired everytime I validate. I asked a friend to validate his game and sure enough, he got the same message. I don't know if this is related to the King of the Hill map crash or what.
On a hunch I decided to update my graphics card drivers. This time, the game crashed to desktop when I hit the esc key.
So I don't know.
The game crashes every time you hit the escape key?
Not every time. Just recently.
An update: I recently completed this map in co op and it crashed on the results screen. This is hard for me to explain so here goes
- I crashed at the result screen the moment the skulls were given out.
- My partner did not crash
- The score we earned in co-op is displayed as my partner's singe player score.
- I do not have an entry on the leaderboards in single player or multiplayer
- I am listed as having 5 skulls for the mission, despite not having a recorded score.
This is getting confusing. This map is the only one that has been consistently unstable.
There is some sort of issue on this map for certain. According to my Steam profile I have 281 hours logged in OMD2. I am certain that at least 200 of those hours have been on endless mode maps. I have yet to have any disconnection or crashing issues prior to running King of the Hill co-op endless mode. It is very frustrating, especially when you are pushing high scores and know that you are in a run that will place #1 or #2. Yesterday, the game just closed on me with no windows issues or connection problems in co-op at wave 55. Tipsy and I had to have layed down at least 70-80 12x combos and hundreds of 10x's and 11's. We knew we were up there in the score, then...OMD2 just closed, no error messages, no nothing just closed.
Today we decided to try again since we thought our strategy is beastly. Wave 50 today and steam disconnects... I realize issues with Steam are out of your control but it would at least be nice if the game would just end and you could see a score out of the deal. Thats almost 5 hours played over the last 2 days on the KotH endless mode map, yet it shows ive never completed it! Sucks badly!
I am having a similar issue. Everytime I finish King of the hill it dumps my co-op partner off line as we lose our last life. I get a score screen but no rank or skulls. This is not the only map that this happens on, but it is the only one that happens everytime. Before anyone asks, yes I've reinstalled drivers, steam and OMD2. This has only been occuring since the expansion. There is a ton of lag, weapon misfires and orc path bugs since the expansion as well and I know I'm not the only one with these issues. Perfect example is todays challenge the hammer ceased to work on primary or secondary attack. I also got weird in game text on the screen (Refplanex). Screenshots below. I love this game but I will not continue to play if everytime I play an endless either I or my partners (more then 1) have a problem and our score becomes invalid.

Edit: My issue is exactly the one LordTwinkle is having:

@Strider051: Omg, look at that screenshot from the challenge. The bromage on the left looks like he broke his shoulder xD
Ontopic: This is very strange, I didn't realize this crashing at the end was a common issue. First time me and a friend played King of the Hill and got to wave 60+, he crashed at the results screen and the score was posted under my name (Devs, ignore this post. I've already reported this).
Really glad this isn't just me, then. I wonder what the issue is? What is it about that map that makes it so crash-prone?
Thought I would just update this and say that it still crashes after the 9/25 patch.
I know the patch notes didn't say it was fixed but I was curious if the patch had any general stability changes that might make the map less crash prone.
Yesterday evening, me and my coop partner got some critical windows error while playing King of the Hill around wave 37. The error was someting like 'error: particle: murble' or something like that and both of us got the same error at the same time.
I googled the error and all I could find was some c++ code. So there is definitely something wrong with this map.
This issue is not fixed, FYI. King of the Hill remains buggy and crash prone, seems like it just doesn't like to accept new #1 high scores.
If we do a run that wasn't going to work out it posts, but everytime the last rift point is lost on a run that would have taken #1 it's CTD and no score post. Only happens on this map.

*LOUD NOISES* !!!!!!!!!
We're gonna have our testers take another crack at tyring to reproduce this. We'll let you know more when we know more.
Good to know.
Out of curiosity, is anyone else who is experiencing these crashes using AMD Crossfire or other Multi-GPU rigs? Just a thought.
I'm using a single Radeon HD 6800, I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the GPU or it would affect more then just this map.

For the record, I am using two Raedon HD 5770s.
interesting... I suppose it's possible that somehow the problem is related to the Raedon HD series. Still I don't see how rendering the endgame stats screen would cause CTD only on this map because of a video card, i'd expect it to happen on all maps if that were the case... unless maybe KotH causes some kind of horrible memory leak issue.
We're pushing up a patch in a minute with some major memory reductions to the "King of the Hill" map, which should help the situation. If you guys would, please give it a play and let us know how it turns out. Thanks!
Good to know you guys are working on it. Will try it out when I get the chance!

UPDATE: Just played some co-op. I crashed on wave 16. :c
Same type deal. No error message came up. Game just closed to desktop as if I had quit it myself.
Could you run dxdiag for me, and either post here, or send me a private message? Thanks for spending a bit of time on this.
No it's cool. I sent you a PM.
