Game Crashes Moments In

[Angron]

Hey all,

Only very recently got WZ running on my Vista machine, so I'm well aware there are build issues with the OS. Installed to the Desktop and everything seems initially ok, but after about 30 seconds the game cuts out, regardless of what map I'm playing or what I'm doing.

I'm running WZ on;

Vista Home 32-bit
2.40ghz dual core (AMD 64 x2 4600+)
GeForce 8800GTS 512mb

Here's the report from the .RPT file;

Any clues as to what's going on? I've tried deleting the config file, changing permissions here and there, and the file opens ok, so I figured I'd come to this font of all WZ knowledge.

Thanks!

What kind of game is this? Campaign? Skirmish? Multiplayer? If campaign, which level? If skirmish/MP, which map, what settings?

[Angron]

Skirmish, on various maps; High Ground, Mountain, Sandcastles, Little Egypt... another few but I can't remember. The crash above was for Little Egypt, but the text is the same for the others.

What other settings do you need? Nothing else was changed. The crash also happens using NTW and normal Warzone.

Does it crash on all maps and settings, or only some? I'm asking for game settings - T1, T2, T3? No Bases, Bases, Advanced Bases? The other settings are less relevant, but could still be useful.

[Angron]

Ah right. Crashed on all maps so far. Only ever play on Bases, T1. Don't change the team colour or player location. Can't think of any other settings I could change, ha.

Fixed in 2.2 Release Candidate 1. It will be up soon.
