VV crashes on exit

[pnt]

I am a little worried about the stability of VV. For me it always crashes on exit! I am using the latest version of DirectX 9c, the Visual Studio 2005 redistributable that was recommended in another post, the latest drivers, etc.

I did not have this problem when I was running 1.3, which always exited cleanly. Also, when I start the game, it seems confused about the installed version (only after clicking update does it show VV - in contrast to EU3 that brought up the correct screen directly).

Could this indicate that either there is an issue with the installer (latest version)? In any case, I am reluctant to spent my time on a release that seems unstable...

It is a known bug. It is very low on the TODO list due to its triviality. Don't worry about it, we all have it and it's fine.

It's not fine. It seems that the game can't 'remember' things like newly calculated cache if exited abnormally, so if you delete the cache folder and start VV, it creates new cache; after playing you quit, next time you launch the game, the cache is calculated agao.

This annoyed me and I had to reinstall the whole game again.

I get the same crash on multiple games. It's not just with Rome VV.
It's an annoying bug related to either windows vista or vista in combination with a certain type of hardware.

Since i've installed VV, it started to do that too.

It is not only vista related, i have XP and it crash on exit too (visual studio related maybe?).

Got vs6.0 to vs2008 installed on the laptop and vs2008 on the desktop. Other games caused some crash on exit after i had installed VS2008 on the desktop.

i've re-installed 2005c++ redist just to be sure on both and still same bug...

On the desktop it could be very bad as the whole pc freeze up and only a cold reebot can bail me out.
I've also notice severe performance degradation if the game run too long... smell like somthing leakin'

All those issues were not present with 1.3.
