Title: An error message whilst starting a game
Post by: vikingx36 on Sun 12/07/2015 10:17:22
Hello im not sure if this is the right place to post this but i tried playing a game made by AGS and i got this error
---------------------------
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000094 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x004ACD4D ; program pointer is -182, ACI version 2.62.772, gtags (0,0)

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.



Most versions of Windows allow you to press Ctrl+C now to copy this entire message to the clipboard for easy reporting.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
Could someone help me with this

Can you maybe tell what game is it?
The error message looks like a bug in the AGS, but version is "2.62.772", which is quite outdated, and unfortunately we would not be able to provide any support regarding such errors for old versions (unless Chris Jones sends us old program sources).

The error is the same for all the Yahtzee-made games

Hmm, could you tell,
1) What operation system do you run them under,
2) What disk are they installed on,
2) What are the settings you set in setup?

1) My OS is Windows 7
2) I tried installing them on the system drive that is an SSD and then on my DATA drive. Same result.
3) I tried almost every setting but i tried mostly with 640x400 resolution and fullscreen

I forgot to mention but the very first time i turned any of these games on they all worked but after playing one of them and saving the next day I got an error message.
