Hello,
Here is something you can do:

- download ProcDump
- copy ProcDump.exe into your xwa directory
- open a command prompt and run this command:

Code: Select all

procdump -e -ma -w xwingalliance.exe
- launch the game

When the game wil crash, a crash dump file will be created: the filename starts with "XWINGALLIANCE.EXE_" and the extension is ".dmp"
- zip the .dmp file
- attach the zip to your next post

Forgive my ignorance, but when I try to run the command from command prompt, I get the following error: "procdump is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, but not sure how to fix it.

You can try with

Code: Select all

.\procdump -e -ma -w xwingalliance.exe
or

Code: Select all

.\procdump.exe -e -ma -w xwingalliance.exe

Just to be sure, did you change into the XWA directory before you run the command? so e.g.

Code: Select all

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars X-Wing Alliance\"
.\procdump -e -ma -w xwingalliance.exe

I got Procdump to work, but the dump file is too large to post on the boards. I was able to compress it down to 217MB, but even that is still too large.

Maybe try dropbox? That should let you put it up for download.

Hey, I have been having a problem much like this after reinstalling XWAUpgrade since I wanted to try your Mega version. I have used this upgrade in the past circa 2017 with no issues, but a lot has changed in the last few years with regards to the scope of this project. So, after reading some posts, I have attached my zipper .exe file. Here are some things I have tried these past couple days:

1. Sucessfully ran the game with no mods. Vanilla X-Wing Aliiance works perfectly. I am using GOG version on Windows 10. I have a GeForce RTX 2060.
2. Unistalled and reinstalled XWA, with mods. Crash after engaging hyperspace to the convoy operation area in Battle 1: Mission 1. Launch, hangar, flight controls, everything works in the initial area with the rebel fleet.
3. Once more attempt on Battle 1: Mission 3 (I think?), the A-Wing recon mission. Same result as 2 only this time the crash occurs shortly after lauching from the Calamari crusier.

Let me know what I can do to help, because I really appreciate this upgrade and what you've accomplished for the past 20 year is simply amazing, and I want to help those who might have a similar issue. I'm semi savvy with a computer but not a coder. Expect mistakes and questions. I do work full-time, and around this time is when I'll be able to respond. It's currently 4:00 PM on Tuesday afternoon where I am located. Thanks for your hard work.

Hello,
You can post a crash report from the Event Viewer and upload a crash dump (with ProcDump as indicated above).
This will help us.

Hello,
The crash is caused by Hook_TargetboxToggle.dll.

Here is a fix.
Just extract the content of the zip (it contains hook_targetboxtoggle.dll) into your xwa directory.

hook_targetboxtoggle_WIP_2104141552.zip

Hi @JeremyaFr I need some help setting up this procdump I've following instructions but when I get to the command prompt part it just says 'procdump' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. if you can help I'd really apricate it and also I'm not the best working with code stuff so if you can keep it simple that to would be apricated

Hello,
To make things easier, I've created a .bat file.

Extract procdump_bat.zip in your xwa directory and run procdump.bat.
Then launch the game from the launcher (Alliance.exe).

While testing, you can run the procdump every time before launching the game. This way a crash dump will be generated when the game crashes, even when the crash is random and hard to reproduce.
