My World

So ever since Alpha our game has been plagued by a second playthrough crash. This crash has caused us to waste precious manhours attempting to hunt down this elusive crash. With less than a week to go we have officially stomped this crash into the ground with the help of a program called Ensure++.

Ensure++ is a memory profiler/checker made by Parasoft. From what I can tell by watching my teammate Justin use this program is it compiles your code through their program and then profiles the code and the memory your program is using during runtime looking for any errors. It took us two hours last night of using this program to locate where our elusive crash was happening.

I’d like to thank the amazing people at Parasoft for giving us the opportunity to trial their amazing product in an attempt to find this crash. This has truly brought much needed morale to our team during the push to a final build of our game.

Thank you Parasoft.
