| Summary | 0001147: Launcher has caused an error in Kernel32.dll on Win ME | ||||
| Description | New launcher in 3.6.9 RC7.9U causes an error in Kernel32.dll on my Win ME machine. Works fine on both XP machines. Closing the error allows the program to continue to load and I am able to use launcher to run FS2 just fine. | ||||
| Additional Information | Only other noticable differece between ME and XP is with the crash when launching a standalone. Launching standalone works on XP but in ME I get the error. Standalone still doesn't work on either but that was expected. I'll attach a screenshot of the error. | ||||

This isn't actually a Launcher problem, but a build exe problem. It will probably just be build specific though (some optimization/build problem), rather than some code bug. What kind/speed of CPU do you have on the ME machine? |
|
|
The Win ME machine is a P3 866 with 768Meg of ram. I actually built that machine just to play FS2 back in the day. |
|
|
Still getting the same thing with the RC8 build. Doesn't seem to cause a problem as hitting the close box still allows the launcher to load. |
|
|
* BUMP * I assume that this was only happening with Launcher 5.5? If so, does it work properly with Launcher 5.5a? |
|
|
Actually it was happening with both 5.5 and 5.5a. I just double checked and it did it with the 5.5a launcher out of the 3.6.9 final rar. Date on the launcher is 12/25/06. |
|
|
I installed ME on a VM to try and replicate this bug, No luck so far, it all works fine for me. I did find one code error, which will be fixed in an updated version of 5.5b, but I'm not sure that would actually cause your crash. Anyway, just in case that was the problem, give this a try: http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/willrobinson/Launcher.rar |
|
|
Well still no luck. That launcher did the exact same thing. It doesn't cause a crash I just get the window with the error message and as soon as I close it everything works fine. Could it have something to do with multiple IP addresses on ME? They aren't really supported but work just fine if you manually add them to the registry. Other than that it is a pretty standard setup. |

Try these two things, maybe it will narrow down the problem a bit more: 1) Put just the Launcher exe and one of the game exes in a directory by themselves. Try and the Launcher and see if it messes up, if not then select the game exe and see if it's still ok, if so then go to each tab to make sure that they all work. If it's still ok then press "Ok" to exit the Launcher, then repeat the process. If at no point does it mess up during this process, skip 0000002 and let me know. 2) Make sure that you are out of the game/FRED/launcher, then go into regedit and rename the "HKLM/Software/Volition/FreeSpace2" key to something else (like "HKLM/Software/Volition/FreeSpace2save"). Try 0000001 again, see if it messes up. If so then be sure to go back and restore the original reg entry, and let me know. If not then restore and export the original reg entry to file and attach it to this bug for me to examine. |
|
|
OK created a test directory and put the 5.5b launcher and 3.6.9 final exe in it. Launcher loaded fine but as soon as I browsed and selected the exe in the launcher I got the problem. Should have read the rest the first time but following the rest of it and renaming the registry key resulted in the exact same thing. I uploaded the registry key just in case. I also had another key but it's probably from the demo but I uploaded it too. |

Not going to work on this. |
|
|
Since no one else seems to have had this problem and I have no way to test it anymore (updated the PC to XP ages ago) might as well file this one as unable to reproduce. |
|
|
You're probably one of the few who ever tried to run it on ME. Besides, cross platform launcher will eliminate this anyway, eventually. |
