Hi!
Ive just finished my new game, and it worked fine in my computer, but when someone else tried it, the game crashed, and sent this message:

Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x004CA204 ; program pointer is +335, ACI version 2.62.772, gtags (0,0)

What could be the problem?
???
Please help!

Can you provide more information? What was happening in the game at the time of the crash?

placyd

At the beginning of the game when you would do anything - walk, or interact, look -  the game crashes and quits with this message.
If you set the downgrade to 16 in the setup, the game works....
But another problem - when you look at an inventory item the game freezes... :(
But in the script there is just a simple displayspeech command.... ???

placyd

I have a custom inventory and the look button script is:
SetActiveInventory(-1);
SetCursorMode(MODE_LOOK); 

it hink this is the source of the problem  :-\

Pumaman

Is the anti-aliasing option enabled in Setup? If so, can you ask them to un-tick it and try that way?

placyd

yes it is enabled, but when its off the graphics will be low quality...

strazer

Yes, but please let them try anyway so Chris can at least determine the cause of the problem.

placyd

ok the crash problem solved with these options...but when i look at something in the inventory the game stucks in - the speech won't disappear and I cant continue the game.

I have a custom inventory and the look button script is:
SetActiveInventory(-1);
SetCursorMode(MODE_LOOK); 

any suggestion?

Pumaman

Is your inventory a popup modal GUI? If so, bear in mind that it pauses the game so that speech/etc won't run properly. Try making it a Normal GUI (and then switching it off in game_start).

OK thanx its working now!  ;D
