Hi my wizzards from Sonalyst


Vers. 1.00 to 1.03 official patched

DW silently crashes back to desktop as i click on the ok button in

Multiplayer / Host / Configuration / Connections Screen

On the connectionscreen there is nothing to select...maybe there should be something to choose i guess. Only the Cancel and OK Button.

As i click ok the screen, it keeps the same for 1sec. and closes.

No Errorbox!
I also cannot see others games to join.
Out of Gamespy he hosted, I joined...
Multiplayer - Join - Configuration Screen comes up with his ip inserted. The OK Button is not clickable, i first need to click cancel, then reenter the Join Screen,
then clicked OK -> Connections Screen (again nothing to choose) -> OK -> Lobbyscreen with no session avail!

I tried some names of my adaptername in the .ini , maybe they was wrong?

Singleplayergame works flawless, no CTDs so far.

Many Thnx in advance!

sometimes if im using dynamic locations in the mission editor, then i save and try to play the mission, i get a CTD will loading the map. But after running DW again it works just fine. Only crashes when going from the mission ed to playing the game after saving the mission after having just messed with some dynamic locations.

Sybie, did you try a fresh install?
Ohh, and you could try to play in windowed mode, you should then get a windows error msg.

[Sybie]

hi Fish!

yeaa i tried in all possible resolutions and in windowmode (needed to switch desktop to 16bit color first).

no errorbox!

I also reinstalled the game once after i had the 1.03 beta update running for a while to get the offizial 1.03 a solid ground!

I´ll reinstall again and try in Vers. 1.0 if the hosting procedure fails aswell.

Can u show me a screenshot of your connectionscreen and the screen that follows when YOU host?

Thnx m8 for your time!
-Sybie :hmm:



PS: I´m addicted to this series since 688i from years ago!

Tried with fresh 1.00 build 0352
and it closes at the same point. (host / connection / ok) -> switches the sim off

And a reply from Moose1am on the Sonalysts forum, perhaps it helps you in any way.

I am relatively new to DW but I have been a gamer for over ten years.

Some general things come to my mind when reading about your problem.

1) corrupted download. Did you have any accellerator programs running when you downloaded or installed DW. Shut down any other programs that are running in memory and then reboot. Clear your tmp files before rebooting. Now RE-DOWNLOAD the game.

Uninstall the game completely. Make sure that you also check to make sure that the DW directory is gone after you use the uninstall program. You can also uninstall DW from the Control Panels add/remove programs.

Reboot.

Now take the newly downloaded game and make sure that nothing is running in memory on your computer other than the OS. ie shut down any virus checking programs that run in the background. Shut down any ohter programs before you try to insall any new game. That includes DW.

If you fail to to the above then sometimes you can get a bad install of any game. This may not be true in all things but it's a good general rule to follow when loading up new games.

If you have followed all these suggestions above then I don't know what else to tell you.

End all is a program that can be used to shut other programs down. Or the windows task manager. I generally run ZAP and McAfee. I have to go into each of those programs and shut them down so that they don't start back up when I reboot my system.

Many times when installing a new game these virus checking programs can interfer with a download or the installion of the game.

Thnx fish!

I checked dxdiag and saw that my DirectPlay8 TCP/IP Service contains errors!

Ill try to reinstall DX and will report!
standby...

.Sybie

[Sybie]

...reinstalled DX engl and german version....the dxdiag shows the same

In the middle is a list of games which use dxplay.
Is your DW Installation showing up here????

here the screenshot->




Another question concerning the NETWORK ADAPTER ENTRY in the ini file.

Here a shot of my Networksettings...which name should i choose?

[Fish]

There is something wrong with your Dirextplay as you can see, I hope some one with more knowledge wil come in and help you, els move your problem to the Sonalysts forum.

Just had two CTD's one whilst playing a mission which I had modified. (the Heli demo mission, I added more subs to hunt and also added the P-3 and made the OHP Driveable) . That crash generated this error report :

AppName: dangerouswaters.exe AppVer: 0.1.0.3 ModName: dangerouswaters.exe
ModVer: 0.1.0.3 Offset: 000a9dee

And today I was mucking about with the mission editor and whilst panning the camera about in the 3d veiw of a ship that was placed it CTD'd and I got this error report.

AppName: dangerouswaters.exe AppVer: 0.1.0.3 ModName: dangerouswaters.exe
ModVer: 0.1.0.3 Offset: 000e40ba

I have not added any mods to the game. my system specs :

AMD 1800+ XP (1.5 Ghz)
512 MB Ram
ATI Radeon 9600 pro (256MB) (driver version 6.1)
Windows XP + SP2

The game runs beautifully except for these CTD's . Which happen often enough to be annoying. Great Game tho!!

I hope this info helps you to make it even better!

[Fire_Spy]

this error just happened when I exited the editor. I clicked on exit and it CTD'd.

AppName: dangerouswaters.exe AppVer: 0.1.0.3 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0b661daf

Doesnt happen very often. I just thought this time I would post the error report.

[sonar732]

So...from what it looks like, regular missions work fine for you, but whenever you either access the editor, or use an edited mission, it CTD's? :hmm:
