[DC] Fatal Scar Error when attacking Chaos Base

[DeathOfLuggage]

Hi,

My game always crashes when I attack the Chaos Base. Doesn't matter what I'm playing with, I alway get the Fatal Scar Error during the intro movie when a unit walks past the Chaos Marker.

When I try to escape the movie before the unit walks past, I also get the Fatal Scar Error.

Does someone know how I can solve this?

Application closed without errors

The Warnings.log doesn't show anything i'm afraid, but can you provide your dxdiag report (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=57900) please, as I believe that may show us what is the problem here.

This is also alot like this problem too (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=130235&highlight=Fatal+Scar+Error).

Thanx for the quick reply.

I didn't attatched it earlier because I didn't expected it to be related to my hardware.

Hope this helps.

I believe that these are currently unfixable presently, but will be fixed by Relic in their next patch.

GroundZero:

For Fatal Scar Errors they need to open the console, and screenshot the text there (ctrl+Shift+~ or just Shift~ might do it).

Scar errors have nothing to do with hardware, and are strictly mission related. Essentially the level code is breaking because the player has done something the designer's didn't anticipate.

Attaching a save game with the error in it can be helpful as well.

Ah, so screenshot it so the Error can be logged for the developers to see exactly what series of events caused the error to surface.
And obviously - report it so it will get patched/fixed, else if nobody reports its, its not a known issue.

the fatal is because you have units inside the spawning zone near the gate

after you destroy the gate just move your units as far away as possible that should solve the problem

earmuffs, this can't help me because it happens during the intro I get when attcking the Chaos Base in Dawn of War.
I can't control my units in the movie and I can't control them beforehand because then I'm on the mapscreen

I'll do this when I'm home tonight. Thanks.

Thanks GroundZero. Could you tell me where to officialy report a bug? Is this in the Bug Submission Threat? Or is that not the place.

Here are the screens of the crash. Hope you guys can help me out.

Screen 01 and 02 show the mission I mean and with what extra units I attack.
Sreen 03 and 04 show the Scar Error (one while letting the intro run and one when I escape the intro)

Oh well, I see the sequence of the screens is screwed but you get the point.

I also posted a savegame in the Bugs Thread

Which would be funny in my case since I am just watching the very first intro after selecting Disorder. ;)
