Description

The program crashes after using for several minutes. I had been using older version, 1.7 and it never crashed. I'm running Windows XP.

Hi,

Which version of Open Yahtzee did you use that crashed? If you're still using 1.7 I suggest upgrading to the latest version, 1.9, which should be more stable (and more fun to play).

I am using version 1.9. I tried both the standard and portable edition. I like the new features, but they both crash after playing for several minutes.

Did you test it in any other computer?
Does it crash randomly while playing, or after some specific action (e.g. marking a die to keep, opening the High Scores dialog etc.)?

If might help me diagnose the problem if you could attach your Open Yahtzee configuration file. For the portable version, it's located in the same folder as the executable and called openyahtzee.dat.

I also noticed it that it crashes after some minutes of playing. So is the fixed version ready?

Thanks

The new version isn't available yet.

It crashes occasionally on my XP box as well.
It seems to be somehow related to the Roll button, but I can't be sure. It seems like there is some kind of redraw race condition. I am pretty sure the Roll button is grayed out when the crash occurs.
I have seen it happen in the first game I play or I can play through many games and it just happens. So I don't think it's a memory leak.
