WizzBunny Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Hiya's I noticed that there was some support being offered on the buletin board and thought I'd ask here first. I downloaded/installed the Demo and it keeps crashing, typically at the 3rd or 4th turn in the game. Symptoms and error reproduced below.. ----- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! d:\games\Strategic Command Demo\SC.exe abnormal program termination ----- It then Crashes to Desktop. Contents of the generated exe file are as follows.. (current entry only shown) ----- SC.exe: PANIC: unexpected harmful signal ... SC.exe: system execution failed. Following is the set of recorded exceptions. NB: The raised panic may have induced completely inconsistent information: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class / Object Routine Nature of exception Effect ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GAME_APPLICATION root's creation unexpected harmful signal: <01275A00> Eiffel run-time panic. Bye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GAME_APPLICATION root's creation <01275A00> Routine failure. Bye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SC.exe: dumping core to generate debugging information... ----- System Specs Follow. ----- AMD XP1500+ 512Mb SDRAM Asus GF2U Graphics SB Live! DE5.1 XP Corp Pro ----- Running DX8.1, all confirmed good. Running Latest Detonators, confirmed good. Running latest sound drivers, confirmed good. I'd dearly love to play this game, but I am not getting a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Another forum member reported the same problem 3 weeks ago with the Beta Demo, J Wagner, unfortunatly I don't remember the exact solution he had, but I believe that he tried a reinstall or a fresh download of the demo. Apparently something had been corrupted and everything ran fine after that. If he sees this post maybe he can help to refresh my memory, otherwise I hope that helps.

WizzBunny Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 Cool, any suggestion is worth trying.. <goes away to redownload and reinstall> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Wagner Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 As Hubert mentioned, I had the exact same problem so I uninstalled the game and downloaded it again. I've had no problems since....that was with the Beta demo however and on my home pc...I downloaded the Gold demo only on my notebook though and have a smooth game....The error message usually occured right after an attack was resolved...you might find a debug folder in the SC files which gives a rather archaic (for me anyway) explanation of the crash...If I recall, my file said something about a harmful signal occured which caused the program termination. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but I never did discover the true reason for the crash...I suspect it may be a problem with my NVidia video card and XP but I'm not certain...
