General Support / Issues with crashing (RA2 V 2.14)

« on: January 07, 2018, 07:48:46 PM »

I've been having issues with the game crashing on me when I play particular maps. Anybody know why? Here's a list of maps that crash 100% of the time:

* Ocean Platform

* Compressor

These are the only two maps I know that crash. I haven't tested out all of the maps, so I can't say for certain if this is the final amount of maps that always crash. I will find out for you and get back to you!

I also know it can't be because of my PC's settings: I have it set to run RA2 V 2.14 on the Windows XP Service Pack 3 (the one it recommended in Troubleshoot compatibility mode) and most other maps work. Again, I'll have to make a full list later, but for now, what do you think is causing these two maps to crash?

General Support / DSL 2.2: Material strengths not working (as well as some maps)

« on: July 24, 2017, 02:52:05 PM »

Hello! I downloaded RA2 (DSL 2.2) off here a while ago, then deleted it because I never played it, and then downloaded it again because I decided to play it more (I know, sounds dumb -_-). Anyways, I noticed that when I try to change the strength of various materials, it won't change it to that said strength: instead it will go down to its 1mm counterpart (for example, I tried to change the strength of my Steel armor from 1mm to 5mm, but it wouldn't change. I tried this out with every possible material and every possible strength, but nothing worked). Also, A few stages keep crashing my game. When I played on the Battlebots arena in Tournament mode, it stopped after the first battle and said that the .exe had stopped working. However, this doesn't happen during a single battle. Also, maps like Ocean Platform and Compressor crash upon loading them altogether, regardless of what I do. Every time, it says that it crashes due to some sort of "abnormal program termination". Can somebody please help me?

General Support / Issues with RA2 (and some other questions as well)

« on: March 07, 2017, 08:57:10 AM »

I've been trying to get Robot Arena 2 (DSL version 2.2) to work on my PC. However, it always crashes when I try to get it to work. It usually crashes between the first and second splash screen, with it crashing once between the second and third splash screen and once mid-game. The link to the picture can be found here:

I tried using two different programs, but with the same results each time: the first time I used WinRAR, of which it ran perfectly a few times before it said it was "missing a file and may not work properly". It didn't specify which file was missing. The second time, I used 7Zip. This time, however, it only worked once before crashing. I have been given a few remedies that I have yet to try, such as changing the screen from fullscreen to partial screen, which I can try once I get on my laptop at home. The other one was to reboot my laptop back to its Windows XP settings, but I bought my laptop recently, and the farthest back it can go is Windows 10, which is what I have. I'll have to try the one remedy once I get home, but I'm posting this in case it doesn't work. What should I do? >_<




Also, I had a few questions in regard to the game itself. First, how do I add my own custom textures and materials to use on my robots and as my logo? Second, Is there a way I can save the pictures I use for the robot I've built onto a storage file so I could use them in other programs like GIMP or Photoshop? Finally, is there a way to build a translational drift or autonomous robot?



I know that the two of these posts are very different from one another, but I would like to have help! And and all help is greatly appreciated!
