Illegal exception 0xc0000005 when testing game

[quixotecoyote]

I searched but didn't find any exception errors matching mine.   This is the error:

exception 0xc0000005 occured in acwin.exe at EIP= 0x004675D9; program pointer is +5, ACI version 2.71.894, gtags (1,9)


It happens when I test the game.  I haven't done any custom scripting, its all in the interaction editors, so I don't think its because I tried something fancy.  I can't seem to isolate what causes it.  It seems to happen roughly 50% of the time when I test the game regardless of other factors.

So does it just happen at game start or sometime later during mid-play?

Also, could you try disabling music and sound in the setup and see if it helps at all?

[quixotecoyote]

It seems to come and go randomly.  I just finished a 2 hour editing session without a single error, but yesterday it popped up every other time.

I haven't added sounds and music yet.

But If this error doesn't mean anything specificly identifiable, don't worry about it.  Its probably due to the vagaries of win 98

Try disabling sound and music anyway just to be sure.

Hmm yes, that's strange -- if that doesn't fix it, could you try uploading the game for us to try out and see if we get the error too?
