*Brunwulf* Wulf Guard Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,299 Joined: May 17, 2012 My client 'end of event' crashes a LOT less than ever before- and a have only had 1 scout event not start properly in a while. Just a small thing tho SAM- when I open DW client from the desktop, I login with username and password and the client screen opens, but nothing comes up until I enter my password again. This doesn't happen when I run the client from the DW folder in the X86 folder. Just wondered if you know about this? (could totally be a problem on my comp- but wanted to let you know) ......................... vet ww wv e2g gwextrav sssc northernsummer gateautumn deathrce1 marshal race1 raceL1 combat1 pvp5 pvp4 pvp3 pvp20,1,0 Posted Aug 1, 2014, 5:26 pm

*Brunwulf* Wulf Guard Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,299 Joined: May 17, 2012 Yes- I just tried it, and right clicking the icon and running it in Admin stops the problem. SAM- are you aware of this as it might be something you need to hammer home to new players? Much love, Brun. ......................... vet ww wv e2g gwextrav sssc northernsummer gateautumn deathrce1 marshal race1 raceL1 combat1 pvp5 pvp4 pvp3 pvp20,1,0 Posted Aug 1, 2014, 6:44 pm Last edited Aug 1, 2014, 7:52 pm by Brunwulf

*StCrispin* Beasts of the Lair Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,657 Joined: Feb 13, 2012 My recent problem was in administer mode So last night I added the workaround files that Sam offered in the Zip files (I assume "working copy" files that are his current partially modified builds) The current issue I have is the thing about the Decals Not Out to the Bins that crashed the client from lobby at random times for no apparent reason. That build ONLY runs in admin mode and doesn't offer any other mode. ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Aug 1, 2014, 8:58 pm

I have figured out 2 major causes of crashes on event exit, will be patching in the next day or two. Hopefully this will help a lot. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 5, 2014, 9:49 am

*The X Man* Better Off Dead Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Game Manager Posts: 2,207 Joined: Jul 25, 2012 I hope your new patch will resolve this problem. All weekend, I crashed exiting the loot screen on every scout. I don't stress on it because the event has ended. Yes, it is an inconvenience to keep re-logging in, but having a new computer allows for a very quick reconnect. ......................... vet wv marshal paintladder zom circuit3 paintball raceL1 race1 pvp4 hammer circuit2 pvp2 circuit1 gwped pvp5 pvp3 pvp1 deathrceL1 triangle1 combatL1 elmsautumn combat1 northernsummer1,3,0 Posted Aug 5, 2014, 10:21 am

I used to just click and get a Login GUI, and then the client would appear already connected.  Now I have to run as Admin. It doesn't come up with the GUI login, but I get a new picture that says Darkwind is launching (or something) that I didn't used to get.  Then when the client comes up, my username is up and I have to type in my pw. This is after a clean install into the My Documents folder.  Also, the first dozen times or so that I logged in, it didn't seem to want to remember sounds settings or F2 and F3 key settings, but that seems fixed. ......................... vet wv northernsummer1,92,1 Posted Aug 5, 2014, 2:53 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Yeah, that's the new Launcher (replacing the old one which included its own lobby and login stuff). I have figured out how to get the game client itself to request admin access automatically.. will see if I can also do so for the launcher. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 5, 2014, 5:19 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Yeah it crashed on me too, once. I definitely fixed 2 of the main crashes, but not all of them. I'll keep playing the game with my special debug build and hopefully will catch the remaining problems when they happen to me. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 10, 2014, 9:41 pm

BoosenVoonder The Mechatrons Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: Sep 11, 2014 Didn't want to start a new topic for this, especially since this is about Windows crashes anyway. I am having game crashes every couple of minutes (sometimes even within a minute after starting the game), basically rendering the game unplayable for me. Strangely enough, I did have a stretch of about an hour or so last night when the game was stable. Currently, I have no idea what it could be (I made sure to update my drivers, Java, Visual C++ Runtime Package, I tuned down the settings, I played via Steam and outside of Steam after downloading the game manually, but so far nothing helped). This happens on both my desktop and my notebook, both running on Windows 7 64bit. My desktop specs are as follows: Operating System MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 945 RAM 4,00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 669MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A785TD-V EVO (AM3) Graphics SyncMaster (1920x1080@60Hz) AMD Radeon HD 5670 (Sapphire/PCPartner) Audio AMD High Definition Audio Device Unfortunately, I couldn't find an error/crash log to post. I also tried running the game with the executables provided in the first post of this thread (including the de-bug version), both to no avail. I would really love to play this game, but I am at a loss what the problem might be and how I could possibly fix it. Any constructive ideas would be most welcome. Update: Installed the game on my MacBook, same problem. I am starting to think my router/modem might be to blame, but I have no idea what the problem could be. I even set up my desktop as DMZ, manually forwarded port 28000 (TCP and UDP) and disabled the hardware firewall. I also changed the port at the log-in screen. Still nothing. Update II: Seemingly, my first theory about the internet/router/modem acting up was wrong. My game also crashes if I just stay in the log-in screen... Update III (hopefully final): The past few days the crashes have been much rarer and I was able to play full races without a problem. I am still not sure what caused the abundance of crashes before, but it seems to have vanished. I would still like to find out what the problem actually was, but right now I am happy to be able to play the game. ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 14, 2014, 3:24 pm Last edited Sep 20, 2014, 8:58 am by BoosenVoonder
