Tom Konczal Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I was playing the first small scenario titled "A Deadlt Affair ". I saved the game using the "save" button after turn 2. When I attempted to load it to continue play it loaded without difficulty and I was able to enter my move BUT, when I pressed the GO button, it started the Computer Thinking screen and crashed with the following message: Unhandled exception: C0000005 at address 0040b049 This occured repeatedly with both the saved file and the autosaved game file. I then restarted from scratch and saved after the first turn and it occurred again with the exact same error. This did not happen when I tried a different scenario. Any idea what is occuring?? I have a Dell 2 ghz Intel processor with a 64 meg Nvidia card. Thanks, Tom Konczal TomK1@aol.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Not sure why you're seeing this problem with one particular scenario. The error address range suggests a DirectX problem. Did your install finish without problems ? If it didn't, perhaps you're missing some textures or something (though I don't know at what point CMBB will crash when the textures/sounds aren't present) ? Madmatt has said that you need the following numbers of files: If the game is fully installed you will have the following folders and file amounts: 5847 files in the "BMP" folder 2324 files in the "WAV" folder 70 files in the "Scenarios" folder 2 files in the "OpenPlay Modules" folder [ September 24, 2002, 01:19 PM: Message edited by: Schrullenhaft ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Konczal Posted September 25, 2002 Author Share Posted September 25, 2002 Yes, I have all the files and the scenario save worked on a third, different scenario. I sent the file by email to Madmatt so he could check it out. Thanks Tom Konczal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the demo I had no problems with Ylena Stare or Tutorial scenarios but when playing Citadel scenario I got crash in movie and after restarded saved game it would always lock up if I selected one of two tank crews which had bailed, but otherwise ran OK. I got the following error message with this: "unhandled exception c0000005 at address 73787cfe." Today I finally got to play the full CMBB and, like you, was running A Deadly Affair (because of approaching hurricane Isidore and infant son I unfortunately haven't had much chance to play since it arrived on Monday). I got about 3 turns in and the game locked up when I hit GO. Everytime I reloaded my save gameit was the same. I finally just restarted the scenario from the beginning and I've gotten further into the game OK. I'm not sure what is going on. Interestingly, like you I have a Dell 2ghz computer. I recently added a Geoforce4 TI 4200 video card to replace the standard 64mb which came with the computer. I am running windows XP. I would be curious to hear if anyone else out there is experiencing this or has a sugegstion as to the cause Regards, Kevin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Update: I sent that file to Charles and he said the cause of the crash has been fixed in the forthcoming v1.01 patch. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Konczal Posted September 26, 2002 Author Share Posted September 26, 2002 Great - thanks Madmatt for the quick response and the reassuring knowledge that it is NOT something particular to my computer setup. I love CMBO and CMBB TOO much to have that happen. Tom Konczal TomK1@aol.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhdeerslayer Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Interesting! I had the exact same problem but on my work PC so not as big a deal for me. I figured it was the drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward the Surly Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I had the same problem also except with a different scenario, the "A Battle of Minors" scenario. I was worried that it was a CD error, as I had a problem installing the game (the CD has tiny indentations (like pin pricks) all over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew H. Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I also had the same problem with A Battle of Minors - an unhandled exception error. It looks like this is under control, but I have the save game file if anyone needs it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn 12 of 25+, "unhandled exception C0000005 at address 004829be". The AI processing blue bar stops at about 80% and the game locks up. Have to ctrl-alt-del to get out. Can't get past this. I have the save file if you are interested Matt. Running Windows XP Home Edition Intel P4 2.2Ghz Northwood 512 meg PC2100 DDR ram Asus AGP-V770 Ge Force 2 Ultra 32mb vid Any ideas?
