Well, since long time ago, Ares tend to crash sometimes when I minimize game. I minimize game with windows tab (between left ctrl and alt), game goes down minimized, and immediately report that Ares crashed with this message.


But that specific crash occurs when I click on that button, not during gameplay, which is weird.
In debug snapshot folder it created a huge file 120Mbs, I am not gonna upload it here.
In this rar I uploaded just except from snapshot and syringelog.

The game crashed because something went wrong with the surfaces (that's related to drawing, in this case a building's radial indicator). I don't know what causes this. Maybe the surface pixel buffer is made invalid when you minimize the game.

I think I selected Gattling Cannon.
I usually use original Gattling cannon, but last night I just made it AA only with big indicator, same as Flak and Patriot.
Let me try again.

AlexB, yes, that happened again too, I selected Gattling Cannon, tried to escape to windows and game crashed.

Even stock YR crash without Ares!



Here is syringe log and new except.

Ah, .log extension is not allowed, I had to copy paste Syringe's text into new blank text document.

There is one solution, just do not minize game and thats it.

As 4StarGeneras says usually ,,Just blame WW and be fine with it".
Thats their mistake anyway.

Pretty much. But you could always fiddle around with display modes, perhaps visual themes or desktop themes break it, maybe running it in a lower compatibility would fix it, or maybe if you're running it as TheFkingDVD, 1.04 may have changed something and it could be something they could fix (I don't know who's in control of it anymore).

But yeah, if it was me, I'd ignore it, because the "windows" key generally just breaks alot of games.

Never ever had that issue while playing windowed mode.
As a mission designer I'd like to switch in and out YR to update my mission, I use alt+tab all the time, never crashed.

So we can assume that the issue is indeed in the drawing part.
