Game crashes on start

Post by Sarin »

So, I installed SVN via Tortoise (running on WinXP), and when I try to start VS, I get the old bad windows error (y'know, that "application encountered an error and had to be shut down" or something). I totally don't know what to do with it, I'm posting stderr and stdout files, I hope you can make something out of it.
The game is installed at C:\SVN\VS

Just a stab in the dark but try running vcredist_x86 in the bin folder and is the bin folder inside the data folder as the svn checkout is for it is now seperate outside the data tree if you have lots of hard drive space run the game in an exported copy with the bin folder within the data tree that exports all the stuff without the svn database.

Enjoy the Choice :)

Thanks for trying, unfortunately you were firing blind. Neither did help.

What was that vcredist_x86 anyway?

Oh, and I forgot to mention...I'm still running on a damn old wreck (Athlon 2100+, 512 MB RAM, Radeon 9600 128 MB). That thing is VERY old (7th year in service) and recently, a weird blackout messed it up even more, forcing me to reinstall the system, possibly damaging some components too :D. So that might be a source of problems.

It's a MS lib that is needed for VS to run.Since you did a reinstall i hope you have done the full update to sp3 as for it being old i had fun running the svn version on my old box in my sig but no problems with my current system :D

Enjoy the Choice :)
