compatibility and run as adminastrator were changed but it did not help the problem
fullscreen was already set to 0
and i made sure i was using English United states
none of these fixed the problem
although i thank you for the advice
also what dsl download did you use?

my disappointing robot awards go to
1. Wheely big cheese 
2.diotoir 
3.259  (JUDGES!)
4.firestorm in series 6 
5.robo-chicken (yes was a laughing stock but always wanted him to get to the semis anyway)
6.razer in series 2 and 3 (mechanical problems)
7.chaos 2 in series 5 (performed well but didn't make it as far as it should have, well you know they then came back with a new robot the next year... Wait they didn't... 
8. any iteration of steg  wait repeat emoticon umm random dance party
9.tornado in series 4 (which leads to my next one)
10. Gemini (cool concept good in battle but rambots are kinda gonna own you) (maybe one of my favorite robots of all time) 
well I'm glad i could get that off my chest
now enjoy wheely big cheese in all of his potential

now i know that i am one of the many to have this problem... but this problem continues through the techniques i find. If you have any advice on how to fix it post below (i know there are many but many have already failed on my computer)

Running windows 7 (64 bit)
Downloaded off this website
RA2 version1.4
been working for 2 weeks to get it fixed 

Been looking to get this game for months but didn't find link for download until recently
When i run the game it appears with a loading cursor and then says
"Robot Arena 2 has stopped working windows will close the program and notify you of a solution"
wants to start a showcase and eventually join some tournaments (most likely in DSL but get through working stock to work before messing with it)

Soooo... I heard there was a need for razors

(Image removed from quote.)

(Image removed from quote.)

What can I say about this... For starters it has razors and it ends with razors.

Razors.

obviously it needs more razors and maybe some... more razors

i had been looking into this game for a while but did not find it until a month and a half ago. However, i did not buy it because there was a large amount of robot fighting games released in the 2000's that were not very good. I was drawn in by nerd3's video though. My real question is should i download dsl 3 or dsl 2.1. need to know which one hosts tournaments more. or which one is easier to just pickup and build a decent robot. i have many ideas i want to incorporate into this game and want to see if they can perform against actual people. am ready for the ride. *sunglasses

Modifications / Re: WHY WE ARENT JUST MAKING A NEW GAME FROM SCRATCH

« on: March 28, 2014, 03:38:18 PM »

this is one of the reasons i believe robotic combat should be broadcasted again, this along with making people who watched the originals happy and getting children into robotics and engineering. But i digress. Until robotic combat gains the popularity it once had i see no hope in any major company designing a game. Indie developers have tried to make robot combat games but many have flopped making it dangerous territory. also the forum could only develop a game if people put money behind it. This is possible but a majority of the entire forums makeup would be dedicated to it for it to work. This would make a new robot game but knowing all the complications of programming it may take years to develop a game half as good as RA2 more so to make something with modern day physic engines and debugging. The only chance is to get a large developer interested in this genre of games. a basic java class won't get you very far in programming a game this complicated. I would love to see a new robot game. But until it becomes a way for many companies to try and grab money we wont ever get a good one.
