I have also posted it in the technical support forum... But this seems to be a problem with the maps alone... on any map I am creating whenever I play that map I can save at the very beginning, but as soon as I pick up an item or gain an experience or whatever and try to save... it crashes with this error This application has encountered a critical error: FATAL ERROR! Program: c:\games\warcraft iii\war3.exe Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:6F056400 The instruction at '0x6F056400' referenced memory at '0x0000001C'. The memory could not be 'read'.

Guest | War3 was just patched. Did it work before the patch? Try compiling your map again. |

I haven't patched yet, but it was working fine before... and it's not just one map it's any map I create... |

I can save at the beginning of the map... I can walk around and then save, but the second my hero picks up an item or gains experience and I try to save, thats when it crashes... |

Guest | I can't help you. Sounds like the editor is corrupted or something. Maybe the patch fixes it. :D Good luck. Let me know if you fix it. |

Guest | reinstall |

Yes but it isn't just for me. anyone who I have sent my map to that has tried to play it states that the EXACT same thing happens when they try to save in my map after gaining xp or items |

Guest | Oh, I thought WE was crashing when you try to save your maps. Something is probably wrong with your triggers than. |

Nope it's in game, while playing the map. I can save when I first enter the map, but if I can any exp or items and then try to save, it crashes |

Even tho it is the GAME that crashes your editor could still be the problem. If it is corrupted it could be corrupting your map files. Or (a REAL longshot) - a virus on your system. I'd say uninstall and reinstall game and editor, apply patch and try recompiling your maps. Basic computer maintenance wouldn't hurt either... scandisk, defrag, virus scan. The usual. A pain, but necessary at times. |

IT sounds to me like it's your world editor. And there is no patch that's going to fix that at the moment. For some reason Worldeditor, has various bugs that show up in different way for different people. When it did it to me a while back I couldn't save any game in the Worldeditor it would complain that about Melee intialization. This would happen even if I opened a Map from blizzard and jsut saved it. So the way to fix it is to, Unistall Warcraft III, go into the registry and make sure you edit any command related to it, if you don't edit registry it will not fix the problem when you reinstall it. At least that how it was with me. Then reinstall it. You should be ready to rock now. |

It's prolly one of the things I did while modding. I am not doing a lot of the conventional map making things... As I am building an action rpg, my custom unit file is pretty big, lots of new units and dozens of ones that have been modified... I've edited the abilitydata.slk quite a bit... and I've imported my own music into the war3patch.mpq for use in my maps. But why it only causes a crash when I try to save my game after my hero has gained epxerience or items seems very strange. |

That is a wierd thing but it must be something you modded caused it. And I guess the thing you modded that it has a problem with is probably hero related. Did you edit something relating to picking up or experince Level. Well anyways, at least ya can at least narrow down the problem. |

I did edit how much exp you need to level upand the max level, but I also did that in my campaign mod and never had a problem with it before |
