WINDOWS?
has zk worked before?
can you play other modern games?
is your graphics card and/or other system specs ok .. things like ram?
do you have dependencies like (develop mono if your on a linux) i dont know what windows needs.. maybe .net and maybe visual c++ or direct x or something?
do you have a firewall or av blocking it?
in my .spring folder (might be hidden) i have an info log file and it may have a clue in it for you??

For direct help it's best to ask in the #zk chat channel, so we can assist you on the spot.

In order to be able to help it would be nice if you could show us your infolog after the game crashed.
You can find it under
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Spring\infolog.txt

Alternatively, if you have zero-k lobby open, go to Settings->Game Diagnostic Log to see the infolog. (See Skasi's pic)
Then upload it to a page like paste.springfiles.com. If you noticed any error messages it would also be helpful to know about them.

Addition to CHrankAdminDeinFreund**'s advice, if you are using the official Zero-K lobby then you can find the so-called infolog as shown in the picture:



This file contains valuable information when dealing with crashes and similar issues.

AUrankSmokeDragon did you just hijack USrankTecrixo 's thread?

How about you put these issues on github?
The infolog seems cut off at the end where the crash happens. I think there's an option to force flush somewhere...

Hmm am I drunk or did the last few lines before the crash suggest that voice commands were used?

Skasi no, I usually have those lines as well and I'm controlling Spring with rapidly oscillating electromagnetic fields.

We need a mage here to guess what happened in the 2000 ticks(~ 1 minute) between !transmitlobby and crash.

Im not sure what a "voice command" is

Also is there a way to put more ram to the program?

aslo a mage wont figure it out.. they just make a spell and bing.. it works impossibly

It could potentially be helpful, but maybe more for engine developers.
Chances are better if posting here: https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=11 or here: https://springrts.com/mantis/

Now for the useless speculations. Before crashing the game worked for some minutes, so there is chance to get it working better.
You can rejoin running games. Try that and see if it crashes at the same time again.
If yes: Good, now figure out what special thing happens at that time.
If no: Now you can at least continue to play.
Before rejoining make copy of the infolog.txt because it gets overwritten.

Inserting the log into http://stacktranslate.springrts.com/index.php gives:

module address file line
C:\Users\triston\Documents\My Games\Spring\engine\100.0\OpenAL32.dll 0x6B6255A7 ?? 0

That log is from a different game. (map is different)
It also looks like in that log game was exited normally:
[f=0000000] [QuitAction] user exited to system

Always post full logs, remember logfile gets overwritten each time you start a new game.
