Crashing Problems? Look here (Thx Major Payne)

[wildcard621]

I installed the A2 patch (Star Trek: Armada 1.2 Patch
Filename: armada_patch_1_2.exe), and now the game crashes upon start. If I go back to the CD install it works fine. Is there a compatablility issue with certain video drivers? I have the Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family adapter. I have installed this game and the patch on several computers, including a Compaq recently with Vista, and experienced no problems. Any help on this?

quick question.

would a miss typed/spelled ect weapon cause a game to crash in its loading?

my game will crash at about the 90% loaded mark

you can PM me for this answer if you like.

[The Joelteon7]

Yes, it would. If you look at the first post, it says what kind of mistakes it would include to crash at that point.

[SPY46]

well i have had ships that didnt have the right weapons b4, the game would load fine.

but once i build the ship then it would crash, or the ship would build fine then go to attack and then it would crash.

i know its ether the klingon bop pulse or torpedo because nothing else looks wrong on ships or stations (only leaves the 2 weapons i did edit)

ok so i didnt edit the BOP photon.

but i did change its pulse weapon.

#include "pulse.odf"
//Name of the ODF file for the ordinance for this weapon
ordName = "kdpulseo"
//Display name for this weapon
wpnName = "Disruptor"
//Time Delay between shots
shotDelay = 0.5f
// Range within which the weapon will fire.
range = 600.0f
//Sound which is played when the weapon fires
fireSound = "ppkdis.wav"

it has to be this because the only other thing i did with the klingon ships and or stations, was.

give the orbital, 3 turret pulse weapons.

gave the starbase 3 turret photons.

gave every ship 2 or 3 more weapons that it already had.
(vor cha has 3 phasers)

every one of them were coppied and pasted, then the hard points that were not needed deleted, i was very careful with that, so it has to be this.

what say you?

Copy and paste all of the edited odf's into a new thread in this section. I think I may know what the problem is, but obviously I'd need to identify it.

hello, my armada2 crashes when i reload maps in the mapeditor, when i want to start up multiplayer. I thought i was caused by the odf files. So i made copies and replaced the older ones, but it didnt really helped. So if anyone of you knows what i have to do, pleaeaeaeaeaease tell me!

Something wrong with this thread? It won't go beyond page 2.

HELP HELP

I have the patch installed.

I can play single player just fine.

When I try to play a multiplayer game I get a message that says "Checking program assests" and then it crashes to the desktop.

This is on Windows Vista.

I checked the event viewer in Vista and found the actual error message:


Faulting application Armada2.exe, version 43.0.0.0, time stamp 0x3c4c76bd, faulting module NetworkManager.dll, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x3be04558, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00014a3f, process id 0xd74, application start time 0x01c83ab7b31b3a90.

I'm having a problem. I've heavily modified Ghost's Compilation mod, double checked everything to make sure all is how it should be. About 8 minutes later I get an "Access Violation error" and the game promptly crashes. Here is the report. Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated. MaP, if you're still around, I know you can help with this.

Need more info. Are you doing the campain, IA, a saved game befor you installed the mod? Who are you fighting? Things like that.

[cappy1962]

The game setting is on hard. It's a single player campaign with the Klingons as an ally against 6 individual randomly selected opponents on AI Hard.

Maybe some races uses some weapon, ship, AIP, station etc. which is buggy.

Hello again everyone! Got another problem for ya. I have tried duplicating construction ships on my Armada 2 so that I would be able to have the different races be able to build different stations. I managed to create a secondary construction ship for the Federation and the Borg, but when I copied all of the relevant information I need to generate a secondary Klingon construction ship, the game crashes. The error message says: Out of Memory-Increase swap file size. Do any of you know how I can rectify this problem? As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

That pretty much always means a missing " in the odf file.
