Shifter's Box crashed after the splash screens when I ran it in DX5 mode. I changed it to DX9 and it plays perfectly, but I thought I'd better post the error message and crash dump. If a non-agser had experienced the same problem they might not have known how to get such a lovely game working.

AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal. Please note down the numbers above, remember what you were doing at the time and post the details on the AGS Technical Forum.

Thanks for reporting this, this looks like the same crash that was reported in KQ1VGA, but I never managed to reproduce it.

It might be fixed in 3.1.2 but I'm not sure -- is there any chance you could try running the game with 3.1.2 by doing the following:

1. Copy the 3.1.2 ACWIN.EXE file into the game's directory.
2. Rename the game EXE file to AC2GAME.DAT.
3. Double-click the ACWIN.EXE file.

and see if you still get the crash?

I'm pleased to report that it seems the mystery is solv-ed. The game did not crash in the manner described above using AGS 3.1.2 SP1.

Bravo!
