Demo error

[Sok4R]

any updates on this problem? has anyone encountered it with the full version?

i tried with the english and german demo, same error.

Got the same error in the full release when my mage casts a 'fireball'... seems to only occur when this is cast. Happens intermittently..so not a real problem - given the game autosaves everymove it makes it relatively painless..however inconvenient. It would be good to see this fixed in a patch.

my problem is that a can't even start the demo - it crashes after some short loading time.

I have the US full version. I have the same exact problem. I can't even get the game up and running. I've searched and can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

try looking in the Fantasy Wars folder for these files and see if any of them have a meaningful error message in them:

Generals_Debug.log
Generals_Error.log
gui_log.txt
message.log

Thanks for the fast reply!!

I'm finding some errors in the Message.log and Generals_Debug.log. Both seem to have the same basic message. I won't include everything, but they seem to follow the same basic pattern:

SetF ~[cl_force_eng] [1.000000], variable not found
0.370 0 SetF ~[r_strips] [0.000000], variable not found
0.370 0 SetF ~[r_hwcursor] [1.000000], variable not found
0.370 0 SetF ~[r_debug_query] [0.000000], variable not found

0.370 0 SetF ~[d_prefetchspells] [1.000000], variable not found

0.370 0 SetF ~[d_vmem_impaired] [0.000000], variable not found

Not sure if this helps. Thanks again!

that seems to be normal b/c i have those too and my game works.
Let's try this. Paste like the last 5 lines from each file. I'll compare them with mine and then I can see what comes next in my file and maybe that will tell us "where" it is crashing.
