i forgot the following:

after this error, the process will remain inactive (like a minimised program) in the taskbar, and when i click it, i see a blur of something maximizing/minimizing. after that, i have to alt+tab out to another program, and then i can shut it of using ctrl+alt+del. i want to note that ctrl+alt+del doesn't work when FS2 is the active window, only when you first alt+tabbed out you can get into the task manager.

What movie files do you have in your freespace dir?
Do you have intro.mve or intro.avi or neither?

I will provide you with a test exe as soon as I can.

Your hacked mve will be causing the problem I reckon.
You can also use -dnoshowvid to disable that code.

I could change to the code to ignore bad movies but why are you using a hacked mve in the first place?

Please upload a copy to the database.

i'm using a hacked one because i don't have a real one.

and i didn;t buy the re-release because they don't seem to ship here.

anyhow, i'll upload it tomorow, i just got in to that PXO game :)

Lets not turn this report into a forum. I dont need to know about PXO etc.

In your own time please confirm that the hacked mve is causing your problem and upload it to mantis.

here is the file, how do i check to see if it is indeed the problem? i have no copy of any avi files at hand, and i don't have a real version of this.

Just take the file away and run it without.

using -dnoshowvid solves the problem, i'll try disabling the file in a minute.

edit:

turning of dnoshowvid and removing the file let's me launch the game.

OK, I will change it to fail gracefully if it encounters a stub.
Ie, it will let you into the game.
