so i finaly got a new videocard... one capable of running 2.0 with all the bells and whistles on a decent resolution. and decided i would re-visit the game.

i installed it and played it just fine for the first few hours. but now when ever i load a save file it insta-crashes to desktop. sucks cuz i was doin pretty good too. i never updated it... partialy becouse the main site was down and thats where i always got the file in the past. but thinking about it i believe i could have goten them here... anyway, i don't WANT to update it now as i recall something about that voiding all save files as well.

any idea what could be causing this crash? or what i can do about it?on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlinewhere to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

So no matter which save game file you load, it crashes? Even if you load different ones? Hmm.

Yeah, don't patch the game yet. You'll definitely lose your saved games, that way.

Seems kind of strange for all the saved games to have gone corrupt at once. Though it's a possibility. (Or it could be that just the "Save1001.ini" file has somehow become corrupt.) Maybe if you try again after shutting down and restarting, the problem could go away. But not likely. If the files have become corrupt, then I'm afraid there's not much you can do.

Did you perhaps try out a mod, and then forget to disable it again? That would cause the game to crash every time you load a saved game.

Tell me what kind of sound card/chip you're using, and which sound drivers . . . I'll try to figure it out.

According to dxdiag:

NVIDIA nForce Audio
Version 6.14.0442.0030

The way NVIDIA works, though, the version may actuallly shift the numbers so it's actually something like 4.42 or something. They do this with their video drivers usually.

Basically, my audio card is on my motherboard... NVIDIA SoundStorm... w/ nForce Audio. My mobo is an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe, nForce 2 chipset.

Thanks for checking, if you get a chance!

UPDATE: Greeeat, I just tried to play lightcycles like I have the past few nights, but when I click a game to join and click Join Game, it gives me this error as it crashes to Windows:

Client MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconveineintce. And there's a little LITHTECH LOGO.

I just checked your FAQ and I already "Permitted All" to the necessary Tron 2.0 files in my Norton Internet Security the other day. And I don't really have any separate firewall.

Heh, you have almost exactly the same setup as I do. Asus mobo, nForce 2 chipset, and Soundstorm.

Your audio drivers are a bit out of date. Earlier nVidia drivers had some problems with Tron 2.0, but most of those were fixed in later versions.

As it turns out, even I have to update my drivers . . . I found out nVidia released another set just recently. You're at 4.42 and I'm at 4.60, but now there's a 4.62 set.

Download the updated audio drivers (plus more) here:

I just install them over top rather than uninstalling the old and installing the new. Traditionally you're supposed to uninstall first, but I find in this case it always works for me. Just the same: be careful when you update drivers and make a backup first, if you can.

You're probably wondering what the deal is with this driver package being a "remix". Well, nVidia are being silly and only including the latest drivers in their nForce 3 and 4 sets. But a lot of those drivers work just fine on nForce 2. Yet, they're not releasing them in a form that works for nForce 2 owners. So someone is ripping out the useful updated stuff that works on nForce 2, and putting together an installer package for us.


As for the crashing problems . . . I've heard stories that the game is cranky on XP SP2. But I can't verify it, since I haven't taken the plunge and installed SP2. (In fact I've intentionally stayed away from it.) But I might end up installing it on my 2nd PC that I'm upgrading, and will see if the game acts funny at all in SP2.

Awesome!!! Thank you redrain!! And here I thought I was pretty much up-to-date with my drivers... I had been to nVidia's site, doing the video drivers and the nForce (I thought), but maybe I missed a round or two or three.. or maybe nForce drivers don't take care of the audio drivers portion? Oh well. I will do this upgrade soon, and thanks also for the info on the nForce3/4... I never would've thought those options existed

RE: SP2 -- I also held out for as long as possible. I just reformatted my hard drive a few weeks back and decided to take the plunge. It's okay so far... no huge issues that I can see... (yet). Haven't had the game crash since that night either.
