RUNTIME ERROR?!?!? (!&$(&%#(*&%

Smoothie7745 · 09-03-2004, 03:24 AM

haha, love that smiley...

I can't seem to consistently run a game, I always get runtime errors, and the game shuts down. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Need ALOT more info on your system.

TC Dale · 09-03-2004, 11:37 AM

Also include the information about the RunTime Error codes as well. What number they are and what the information is that pops up with the RTE's.

Smoothie7745 · 09-03-2004, 01:56 PM

okay, here's my system info, just copied and pasted...if there's anything else, please let me know:

also, the actual runtime error only states "Runtime Error!", followed by the file path of my game, and then the phrase "abnormal program termination".

Sorry also about the last post, I was a little bit frustrated

Thanks again, I really appreciate any help.

Have much free HD space do you have? Have you deleted or moved any files? Have you updated your direct X and video drivers recently? Is game sound "enabled"? Has the game run ok before? Does this happen with all leagues?

60.7 GB free space

Possibly deleted files, although I don't THINK I'm that ******ed...is there any way I could get a list of necessary files and check them down with the ones I have? I know that'd be a lot of work

so it's cool if not...

checking to see what version of direct X I'm running (although the game has always run without a hitch before yesterday, no problems, so unless DirectX updated around that time, I don't think that's it)

The sound is enabled.

Game ran fine before, and yes, it does happen with all my leagues, every one I try...

Steve Kuffrey · 09-03-2004, 03:07 PM

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, then move your leagues to the new location and try to run it.

Smoothie7745 · 09-03-2004, 03:16 PM

sorry for the ignorance here, but will I have to repurchase it?

I'm broke...

Jeremy Weimer · 09-03-2004, 09:21 PM

Not as long as you reinstall it on the same computer. The elicense software will still be on there and it'll automatically recognize the game and make it a registered copy. So you're clear in that area.

Smoothie7745 · 09-04-2004, 02:35 AM

Thanks guys, I did it, works like a dream. Only problem I have now is that my menus' backgrounds are all transparent and I can't remember how to fix it...I'm looking on here

haven't found it yet, tho.

you need to disable 3d. look for the game config file in the OotP root folder.
