Demo problem

[Aki]

Hi! Derek.
I have been expected this title, and tried the demo.
But I have a problem.

After the first battle,
I click the 'click to begin other remainders match' button, it always CTD. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
It says 'stop satatement encountered'.

Windows98
Celeron 1.4G, 384MB RAM, GF2MX, latest drivers

I've had the same problem in each of four sessions with the demo http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

also running Win98 (OSR2), PIII 733, 128 MB, GeForce2 GTS

I'm downloading the demo now. I have Windows ME with a ADM 1.8mhz processor and 256 meg of ram. I hope I don't have any problems.

Downloaded & was enjoying until I had the same problem. Running Win98SE, 2.4G Pentium 4, 512M Ram, NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4400.

Others have reported the same problem on the Gone Gold site. So far everyone giving their stats was using Win95, Win98 or WinMe.

I'm using Windows XP and get the same error, although I don't think that this error is related to system specs. If it's what I think it is, it should be a relatively quick fix for Derek. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hey all,

Sorry for the problem! Yes, I left some debug code (used to check for program errors or problems) in the program. Ugh!

The new fixed demo has been sent in to Shrapnel already, all they need to do is update it with the new demo.

Thanks and sorry again! Programmers aren't always the smartest in the world! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'm just one more person that encountered that 'Stop' error running XP. But I found a bigger bug/eyesore,.. I e-mailed derek with a simple fix. weather or not he will use it is another thing.

What's the bug/eyesore? Shhhhhh it's a secret and I'm sure not going to let the cat out of the bag, the fact is, only a dweeb like me would ever notice it, so you'll only find out if Derek uses my 'eye-patch'

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I sure will, David! Thanks for patching the "eye-sore". I'll be using it for the full Version. Thanks for your very cool contribution! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<deliberately skipping over the 'dweeb' reference, though gosh, it would take one to notice it!> http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

As far as the updated demo, will another demo come out, or will there just be a patch?

[StormcloudCreations]

Another demo will come out....in fact it's already out! How that's for quick? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Just go to the download page and download it again (uninstall the previous demo using the Start-All Programs menu option). Should work ok.

Thanks!

(PS And thanks again to David Gervais for even more ideas he sent just now. I should have him on the payroll! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

[David E. Gervais]

You're welcome Derek. Like I said, it was fun. I'm just doing my best to klimb the fame meter a few pixels at a time.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

P.S. about more contributions, check out my avatar emporium, most of the avatars are available for use in these forums. Just be sure to respect the 'Reserved' avatars. Everything else is fair game.

Have fun people.

Not exactly a problem, but when I run the Demo on my W2K machine, it doesn't create any 'active program' item on the task bar, and I can't find it when I 'Alt-Tab'.
Could be just this machine, but might need someone else to confirm.

I may include something in a patch to make the program more friendly to "minimizing" this way.
