Pud Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I'm not sure if this has been pointed out but CMBB will totally crash my win2k system (quite an achievement), ie it reboots, if you try and start CMBB if it is still resident in memory from a previous gaming session. CMBB does stay in memory if you alt-f4 to close it, they lazy mans exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Pud, There is something up with your system. At the moment, I am running: 2 Copies of CMBB 1 Copy CMBB Demo 1 Copy of CMBO for good measure With few ill effects. I am running Win2000 SP3 on a celeron 800 with 384mb RAM. I have had as many as 6 concurrent sessions of CM of one sort or another going frequently.

Sitzkrieg Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Pud, Then don't do that. Seriously, I just tried doing an Alt+F4 from the CM:BB start screen. Takes the window down but when I did CTRL+ALT+DEL to view the Task List, "Barbarrossa to Berlin demo" is still listed as running. This is on Windows ME. I didn't try to start another instance without first killing the stilling running process as I really don't want to take my system down that way. BTS PLEASE FIX OR DO SOMEFINK! EDIT: I tried starting another instance of CM:BB with the still running process and it opened without crashing my machine. However, when I exit the new copy, the first one is still listed as an active process. BTW, I glad someone else still uses Alt+F4 to shutdown Windows apps. I use it at work all the time and people are always wondering what it is I'm doing to close things down.

WWB Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I did have an 2nd CMBB process running when I closed the program via Alt-F4. But the system most definitely did not crash. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pud Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 Thanks guys. Looks like the crash itself is due to my-soon-to-be-reinstalled system (mumble, mumble, bill gates, mumble ...) But that CMBB remains resident after alt-f4'ing does mean it is in need of a fix. Alt-F4 - the trusty panacea for all windows apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
