geminiagre- remember the other day when I said that I didn't like you over at your community lot guide thread? Well this totally changed my thoughts! Thank you so much! I can actually use CAW now!
Thankyou! I don't care if this is an old thread. I'm digging it up, who cares. Thankyou! Seriously! last year i began work on a HUGE world, i actually bothered to learn how to add the distant terrain objects, did some incredibly detailed terrain painting (Not all over the world, so much to do) I'm trying to create a huge world with EVERYTHING. A city, suburbs, farming, rough area, upper class area. (Not all squidged together either, i want it realistic and the city is accessible via a suspension bridge (it's a seperate island). So much to do.. Want to make use of everything the expansions have to offer.. I had to stop work on it because of crashing randomly or crashing during saving..
You fixed it ;D Thankyouuu! I can actually start work on it again
i did what you said but mine still crashes whenever i try to save a lot.
its says caw.exe has stopped working it gives me the option to close or debug both of which close the whole thing
Thank you so much for sharing this info. I didn't think there was hope for me getting CAW to function long enough to create anything, even after I got a newer much better PC! This solution seems to have worked for me. Though now I've probably jinxed it for myself :? At least I have hope for building my world now!

This is a completely different issue. I have no idea how to help you with that.
I ran it as administrator but it won't let me save original file
If you are sure that you run it as administrator, it should let you ovewrite the original file.
If it still doesn't , i have no idea what's up with that. There is a chance that if you are not loggged in as administrator on the computer itself that you might not have enough privileges to do that. However I'm not sure if in that case that option would come up at all
@geminiagre - I know you've been helping quite a few people with the link for the explorer suite. However, I just right-clicked (and normal clicked) on that executable file, and an error message just popped up: The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program.
I don;t have a high end laptop, but I've also recently been getting the SAME CAW error that everyone else has been getting. But since I can't even install the Explorer Suite, what can *I* do to stop having the CAW from crashing on me?
(and Rflong.... if you happen to see this, can *you* help me??)
Ah perfect! Thanks, I'm gonna try this out! Like you had originally posted, I only have issues with CAW crashing when I paint. Hope it works, or at least lowers the amount of crashes so I don't have to save every 30 seconds! Haha
I just re-downloaded CAW after a long time , and as i was trying to do this little trick, I noticed that it is now activated by default. No idea how long back they fixed this, but this solution is now obsolete with newer versions of CAW

the copied one is your backup, you change the original one.
