on my window's 7 pc, with the test build of kshatriya running as administrator, without any compatibility mode, the game loads quickly, and the log file says that it uses a total of 1300ish mb.

When I tried the game on my window's 8 laptop, however, the game reaches the ELE file part, and stops loading, having reached 1900ish mb. I was running the game in XP SP3 compatibility mode, as running in any other mode causes the game to suddenly abort without error a little after half way through loading, randomly, on some unimportant entity.

can someone explain this to me, or tell me why it might be happening?

not officially but quite a number of games from steam have installed DX9 in their setups.

There is an update. If I turn down the textures and turn off AA and AF in the setup.ini the game loads all the way up to the end and then quits without error. usually the log says it reaches the memcap on loading sounds or initializing physics or something it does at the end.

window's 8 has strange issues if you don't give it full admin rights.

You have to right click the icon and click properties then go into compatibility.

You then must click the change settings for all users and then click run this program as an administrator.

Make sure not to pick a compatible mode.

If you don't do this you will see increase size in game size also textures can be missing and random crashes.

Hope this helps

I already run as admin but when not changing compatibility the game randomly quits out halfway through loading on any random entity. may also help someone to know that the game was built in v1.18 with waspmod

Thanks for the link but the file is corrupt when I try and unpack it.

Could you upload it again or somewhere else please.

Completely Irrellavent, Please learn more about what DX is and how it is packaged with applications... Long story short, Install DX9.0c There is one available for Download on the TGC site somewhere or you can download it from me here

You need WinRAR or WinZIP or something that handles WinRAR, I should probably repack it as a zip soon lol

I have not ran anything to do with FPSC yet but I do use DBPro on here a lot so I think it is down to DX9 libraries missing or a bad system setup... [Update GPU Drivers... actually... what is your GPU?]

Well i downloaded your game at last it was my antivirus program del it when it was downloaded.


Tested your Game and run fine when I do the following what I said on my thread.

If not run as administrator for all uses the game crashes.

I also had to have the msvcp71.dll and msvcr.71.dll in the same directory even if dx9 installed, this happens sometimes when using windows 8.

It looking a good game the only thing is the reflection in the puddles is the metro ceiling and needs to be changed to your own.

Nice work
