v2.2.1: repeated crashes at same point in game

Post by zydonk »

Playing with BP on 8c-squared. Last entries of RPT refer to a crash beyond which I cannot progress, so may be of more than passing interest. Game very busy, but no warning of impending crash. Too much activity to isolate probable cause, probably in RPT anyway.

Rig:
VAIO AR51M
3Gb ram
8400 nvidia card

Clean install (not overwriting prev ver.).

That is one very nice crash dump file. I'll take a longer look at it this weekend. Thanks.

Just downloaded and instaled it. Game looks great!!!! But unfortunaly it has crashed about 10 times in the first alpha mission. Not sure if it has anything to do with using cheats... Downloaded it because I was have so much trouble with version 213 and the ntw 179 mod. I thought the mod was the trouble. the graphics was horrible in version 213 much improvement there and I love the vidieos. Great job there... Please fix the crash bug... Btw had the dll prob to begin with and downloaded it and installed it right in the game directory... Could this have any effect???? I kinda doubt it. But maybe you should included it with the game installer. Maybe the installer could check for it and install if necassary???

Turned out that the problem I was having was caused by openal32.dll. Once I found the proper verion that happened to be in the directory of the orinal version of warzone and copied it to the version 2.21 directory the game run great and so far no crashes even when I have ran it at 20 time normal speed.

Hmm, interesting. I'm guessing we should be using a different OpenAL DLL, then.
