| Summary | 0000470: Crash on startup | ||||
| Description | Fs2_open_3_6_5 crashes on startup with an Access Violation in module fs2_open_3_6_5.exe at 001b:00000000 immediately, no video is displayed. The launcher is set to use the default FS2 (no options). I havn't been able to find a combination of flags that works yet. If video is set to OpenGL rather than D3D the loading screen is briefly displayed before crashing. The same happens with the fs2_open_T-20050622 build of the launcher. The media vp version is 3.6.6, I saw that this problem happened before and was fixed in 3.6.6 but not for me :(. Error logs and fs logs are attached | ||||

This is the first thing to load and usually means that you didn't place your SCP executable in the same directory where you installed regular FS2. |
|
|
This has happened so often that it's getting annoying. Do we know for sure that this is *always* the first thing to load? If so, we could just change the error message to read something like "Freespace 2 game data not found. Please run FS2_OPEN from the same directory you installed Freespace 2." |

I think that Web_cursor_bitmap is the first Assert() related to game data but not really the first thing loaded. We really need to check for the existance of root_fs2.vp and/or sparky_fs2.vp and use that as a data check. It would be annoying for mods since they would have to include at least empty VPs but I think it's the better option. |
