I got this error when trying to test a game:
---------------------------
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x00416BCE ; program pointer is -42, ACI version 2.60.698, gtags (12,27)
AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal. Please note down the numbers above, remember what you were doing at the time and notify CJ on the Tech forum.
(Global script line 6)
Most versions of Windows allow you to press Ctrl+C now to copy this entire message to the clipboard for easy reporting.
---------------------------
OKÃ, Ã,Â
---------------------------
What does this mean? Is there anything I can do to get rid of it?
To add to what I said before: I saw the other string about similar error messages and I have checked to make sure I haven't done any of those things to screw it up.
What is in your global script at line 6?
It's possible you've put some script in game_start which expects a room to already be loaded. As strazer says, please post the lines around line 6 of your global script.
Oh, thanks. It was something that expected a room to be loaded. I've figured it out now.
Could you be more specific please? How did you solve it?
Yeah, please tell us what the problem was, so that AGS can be improved to detect the situation and handle it more gracefully in future.
