dsl compressor arena error!

[yahutzee]

I am at the crushers tournament in the compressor arena, the battle starts and the enemy doesn´t  moves, and after about 10 second it gives me a runtime C++ error. i have seen on other posts that joeblo had a patch for that error, but when i enter its page says that page does not exist. suggestions?

AFAIK, this is all JoeBlo's patch did.

To fix:
In your main RA2 directory, you'll find a txt call 'Events'.
Make a BU.
Open this txt up and then Search for "Platform".
The section looks like this, and double check to make sure you're in the right place:

i will do that. but i have a question. whats a BU????

[Nate Tech]

Backup. which means copy the file onto your desktop before you change the file, in case something goes wrong.

[yahutzee]

just 2 seconds after i posted, i noticed it was a backup *facepalm*

i did what you said and it crashes on the leading screen, i have dsl 2.0, does it matter?

[Trovaner]

That fix only fixes DSL 2.0 and 2.1. If it crashes, you did something wrong or Mad missed a step. Either way, I'll take a look at it when I get to my computer.

i think i copied something wrong, either way, could you please give me the text with the changes done? so i just copy the text onto my computer and eliminate any margin of error

[Trovaner]

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.

[yahutzee]

even if it doesn´t work, you´re awesome dude!

[Manveru]

I have the same problem! I'll try to fix using this information. And if i do, i will let you know
