The first part of my game I played with French language, but then in one of the levels I changed the language of the game.
Everything was ok until that moment. When I turned back to French again the problem vanished.
Thank you for attention.
LMAO! xD
You have to play the game in French to get past the problem!!! LOL....
Well if it works though!
Maybe ill try that.... :ninja:

Probably, it is not safe to change language options in the middle of your walkthrough.
Sometimes it leads to critical errors.
There is another issue.
In my computer the game doesn't like to be temporarily paused with the help of "Alt +Tab" or a "Windows" keys.
When I try to unfold the game it crashes.
Good Luck!!!

hello, I am new here. I had warzone way back when and after moving a few times it has disappeared. Anyway, I have downlaoded the game from this site and when I click on the shortcut to start the game I get a picture as if the game is loading, the little bricks of light scroll across the bottom of the screen. Then the Warzone 2100 picture comes up for a few secs and then black screen, back to the desktop.

Running Windows XP on a HP laptop. 797 Mhz AMD Athlon processor, NVidia G-force graphics 1.25 gig ram.

I seem to have the problem as well.
My game (Warzone 2.2.1) keep crashing in a certain moment and I can not continue the campaign.
Thanks for the attention.

Can you give more details about the moment at which the crash occurs? Is it always the same? What level, what were you doing, etc? Try downloading Buginator's 2.2.2 alpha, it might fix your problems.
No, his crashdump is not useless. :rolleyes:
See this line?

Code: Select all

Program: D:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\warzone2100.exeD:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\warzone2100.exe caused an Access Violation at location 027e7277 in module D:\WINDOWS\system32\ig4dev32.dll Writing to location 00005940.
ig4dev32.dll is his OpenGL driver, belonging to Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows Vista(R) from Intel Corporation

Which means, his gfx driver crashed. Which means he need to complain to intel about crappy openGL drivers, and try newer/older versions.
and it ends here.

That is 100% luck. Has nothing to do with the language your using.
Your issue before was the crappy intel openGL drivers. They just happen not to crash this time around.

Where is your crash dump?

I am guessing the problem is you need to update your video drivers.
