I can't figure it out. I've been having this problem for a long time and its really been preventing me from getting anywhere with this map. A lot of my friends really enjoy it, but we can't ever get any good games anymore because it keeps crashing.

Anyway, the reason why I can never figure out the problem is I have no clue where to begin. I always ask the players what they did right before the crash. Its usually something differant everytime and I can't get any crashes to match-up with each other.

It also never happens at the same time. If their are more players usually it wont last longer than the 10 minute mark in the game. However, with less players it usually doesn't happen at all and if it does its very late game.

My best guess would be that it has something to do with the scoreboard as the board is really crappy. But its hard to test because you just dont know when its going to crash. @.@

Any help would be appreciated. The map has been attached.

Sounds like RAM allocation errors.
CLOSE ALL BACKGROUND APLICATIONS THAT ARE NOT VITAL!
I have this happen to me if I alt+tab a lot while having WE + THW chat running.

Or are you saying ONLY WITH THAT MAP???
Then its a trigger error.
If the map is old then its outdated and trash material, since many WC3 functions have changed.

If it is your map, you need to post about it, if your using WEU, that may be the cause. Also syntax check all jass scripts manually or in good jass programs, since some errors the built in checker does not spot.

My guess would be leaks.

Make sure you removed all locations, groups and forces.

Also if you are dealing with GUI keep the number of triggers minimal becuase usually you can't prevent leaks completely, only when working with JASS you can.

K, I deleted all the excess things on the map, unused locations and stuff. Havn't really tested it, but I dont think that its the problem cause their weren't very many.

Also, if you read the post its very hard to test this crash since it doesn't always happen. It has like a 100% chance of happening if its a full house or close to it. But if im alone i'll never get the error. (Which is one of the reasons why I think its the leaderboard, it deals with hero kills)

I posted the map so you can see all the triggers and not just the few that i posted. Obviously no one took advantage of that. I dont even know if its the triggers. I've had this problem before on a differant map and it was because of one of the abilities I had created NOT the triggering.

I will post the Leaderboard trigger since thats where I think the problem is. If you want to see more please just download the map and look.
