Whilst playing around the year 1996 the game must have had some memory error. It completely crashed and crashed my browser. I know it was the game because first the game crashed then the tab crashed and then the whole browser crashed. I am using a MacBook with 8gb of RAM and I know it was not the computers fault. I use Google Chrome.. it wasn't that bad but just saying that it had crashed.

Did you have autosave on? You can disable it so it doesn't crash

I had that off, i believe it may have been a table problem.

Oh that's weird. How many CPUs have you developed? Did you load the game?
Also yeah, there's no way it's the computer's fault.

RR_Records6 years ago

I had about 14 CPUS, each had unique names though but all had ascii characters like, abcdefg...

Also will there be an ETA on the next update? if not when do you expect v2.7 or even v3.0?

Yeah that can't be a problem. No idea what could cause that. I got past 1997 on browser with autosave on.
And https://itch.io/t/210226/frequently-asked-questions point 2. (so basicially there's no ETA)

Ah okay, any hints to what will come in the next update? will it be 2.7 or 3.0?

I think i found the reason for the crash. I was on V. Hard and for some reason my popularity would not increase at all no matter what, it stayed at 4.47%. Then my money started to drain and I had to get loans and then the loans were about 800K and i had to pay 20K a month. Then the game crashed

Oh the "History" section is not correct, it has false data and doesn't contain all of the CPUS I have put into it. I am not hating on the game, jus ttrying to help.

There is one devlog which contains a tiny bit of info about 0.2.7, but I'm not saying anything else just yet.

Unless the crash is reproducible, then that's no reason.
History not being displayed properly has been fixed in 0.2.7. But not containing all of your CPUs? Did that occur after loading a game?

RR_Records6 years ago

Well i reproduced the crash somehow and no it was a new game.

Yes, but did it crash every time you took a loan?

RR_Records6 years ago

a loan? no but i think it crashes after a certain amount of years and along with CPUs

RR_Records6 years ago

I know im spamming but I was playing and i got yet another crash, this time i was on easy mode and i was making tons of CPUS, each with names similar to intels.

In browser? On what date were you?

RR_Records6 years ago

around December 1996

Whatever I do it just doesn't crash with autosave off, I have no idea what's wrong. Normal exceptions return a popup or an error message..

RR_Records6 years ago

Hmm odd, i will investigate it further. Also i am not sure if the mac download works.

Why? What's wrong with the download?

RR_Records6 years ago

HTML crashes after 1996 for me. Download crashes(immediately, no gameplay) on Mac.

uhhh very weird. I don't have a mac to test it and it doesn't crash in browser for me. You just open the .app and it closes immediately?

RR_Records6 years ago

Yeah i downloaded multiple versions and all crash even if i run them by the terminal
