View Full Version : New W:A 3.6.28.0 bug?

Hi, I'd like to report that sometimes, when I start W:A or try to play replay the crash occurs. After running WA.exe I can see black screen for a little while and then the error dialog appear with info that ERRORLOG.TXT was created. No frontend, just crash. Of course, I've installed 3.6.28.0 update.
Sad thing is that I can't reproduce this error. It just happens from time to time.
The attached file contains ERRORLOG.TXT generated when I tried to run this replay (http://wormolympics.com/tournaments/replay/303) for the first time. But I think that which replay I played is irrelevant in this case.
One more thing. When I run W:A immediately after this crash, the game works flawlessly (as much as it can :D).
Edit:
Sorry CyberShadow, I've created thread in wrong place. Please, move this thread to the support forum.

The crash is happening when loading map data to video memory. Did you try updating your video card drivers?

I'll do it soon, 'cause they're available out there :)
If crashes will appear after that I'll report here again.

If they do, please also post the file CRASH.DMP.

I've installed new drivers and there are no problems so far.
I can provide you CRASH.DMP associated with ERRORLOG.TXT, which was attached to the first post.

Nothin' doin'. Intel's drivers aren't backwards compatible with Direct Draw. Sorry, Beer.

Not exactly the same. Just similar. My gfx card is ATi Mobility Radeon X1600.
Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family
Maybe this (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Search.aspx?Prod_nm=965+express+chipset+fa mily&x=0&y=0&lang=eng) will help.

Beer, if you have Vista, then Intel is incompatible. Intel graphics chipsets + Windows Vista + W:A do not mix. We've had about 500 subjects on the matter.
The only ways:
1) Install a decent OS (not Vista)
2) Install a Virtual OS if your PC is fast enough
3) Wait for a driver update or a complete W:A overhaul, whichever comes first.

Long time no crashes. But today I encountered one :) The same conditions as in first post. Attachment included. My gfx drivers are up to date.
