Game Crash
« on: March 24, 2014, 01:31:37 PM »
I have the DSL 2.1 download version, I got a link from craaig and it worked fine. The errors I'm getting started occur after I copied the files and made a second version of the game in which I installed the DSL 3 and Robot Wars 2013 mod. I'm able to make it through a few events and then when I reach the compressor arena the AI don't move, and then it crashes a error message appears and then is gone a few seconds later. This is happening in the DSL 2.1 game that I have NOT modified beyond downloading it. The modified one is the second one Containing DSL 3 and Robot Wars 2013.

Recap: Download, DSL 2.1, compressor arena game crash, have other RA2 game with DSL 3 and Robot Wars 2013 mod installed. Crash occuring with DSL 2.1 version.

Yep, this is a well documented crash. There used to be a fix around but I'm not sure where it is - 95% of people here don't play tournament mode. Unless someone has the fix, you'll just have to forfeit those events.

I think the stand-alone versions have already been patched with this but if you are installing everything manually than you'll want to download this.

After applying Mad's fixes, I did a quick check for both the events and everything seemed to be working. Here is a fixed Events.txt.

If anyone is curious about what got changed, the linked thread includes an explanation.

Thanks for the help, I think I'll just forfeit it like craaig suggested.
