Windo von Paene -> Now crashing to desktop :( (11/1/2000 8:52:00 PM)
|
So I installed the 4.4 update last night, crossed my fingers, and fired up my Utah to the Rhine campaign, in the first "bocage battle". Played a turn or two, all seems to be going well. Then things started to happen.
with an FO selected, I go to the bombard screen, and notice that I'm getting the crosshair icon all over the entire map!
Well OK, let's see what happens when I select targets in various trouble spots, (well out of LOS of the FO). End turn, and here comes the artillery. Wham - Crashes to desktop...
Hmm. Delete the steel.prf file and fire SPWAW up again. Same thing. So I say OK, I'll start a new campaign. pick "Preparing the way". Move units, end turn, artillery routine begins. Boom - Back at the desktop.
The only other bit of information was that at one point, I tried to open a new PBEM game, and got a "Security Violation, Player 1 OOB corrupt" message, (I'm player 2 I think). I did quit between trying to open this and opening my campaign.
Another note, where are the OOB files supposed to be? I find the majority of them in the Steel Panthers World at War folder, not in the OOB folder, which only contains a bunch of text files describing proposed changes to the various OOBs.
any ideas appreciated...
