[?]Fatal Error

I made a map which has no problem in single player mode. But when you play with others on b.net, some players (not all players) sometimes get a fatal error and leave game. What would cause it??


It should be a TRIGGER problem I think, but I can't figure out what it is since a trigger problem will get a fatal error in single mode. And it shouldn't be a sync problem since de-sync makes disconnect instead of fatal error.


Hope some1 can help>"<

If it's the same players that crash all the time (like for example same 2 friends you always play with) it might be their pcs and not your map, if it happens to many players then it could be something that your map does that only applies to 1 player and not to others (stuff that doesn't cause desync). Perhaps something with trigger calculations is causing this, because anything else (unit creation, units attacking, units learning skills, units taking damage) would cause an error for all players, not just 1. Your best bet would be to test the map several times with friends and then after they crash, ask them exactly what they did, or what happened a few seconds before the crash to the moment of the crash. Fatal Errors can be a pain to solve because it's hard to figure out what causes them as the error is not very helpful, and sometimes it's something that you wouldn't even think of that causes it.

Thank you but I still can't figure out any possibilities:

1.Sometimes only 1 player got an FE.
2.Sometimes 3 or 4 players got FE at the same time.
3.Sometimes it causes a server split.
4.So much event didn't have a common one (at least I can't figure out)

They say they almost never got an error before, so it's unlike their pc's broblem.

Is there some event that will cause a map FE?

I've heard that some ppl gets disconnect playing X Hero (But I haven't played it som I dunno whether it's a fatal error~.~)
