Crash on startup...[Problem solved] - Lambda - 09-02-2011

So, I've been developing a full conversion for a while now, but now I've run into a serious bug ish thing I really can't solve on my own.

The menu loads up perfectly fine, but when I start off, I get the "Something is wrooooong" error screen with this message:

Code:
Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module Amnesia.exe at 0023:00547164

I'll provide any mod code if neccessary, I'm just holding back on that for now, for obvious reasons.

Thanks!

What were all the steps you took before receiving this error?


RE: Crash on startup... - Lambda - 09-03-2011

Well, I had a few strange bugs that misplaced all the entities in my first level. I fixed that(By changing a few things), and changed something in my main_init, but I cant remember what that was...

I had this same problem a while ago. Check out your main_init and your settings.cfg files and make sure everything is correct. I can't remember exactly how I fixed it but there was something wrong in one of those files.

Couldn't find anything myself, d'you guys have any suggestions?:

    Demo = "config/demo.cfg"
    
    DefaultMainSettings = "config/default_main_settings.cfg"

    DefaultMainSettingsLow = "launcher/default_main_settings_low.cfg"
    DefaultMainSettingsMedium = "launcher/default_main_settings_medium.cfg"
    DefaultMainSettingsHigh = "launcher/default_main_settings_high.cfg"


    DefaultUserSettings = "config/default_user_settings.cfg"
    DefaultUserKeys        = "config/default_user_keys.cfg"
    
    DefaultBaseLanguage = "base_english.lang"
    DefaultGameLanguage = "english.lang"

Note: I've checked the hpl.log file. No hints there.

If you are an ATI user You may need the latest PhysX system softwere
Only you having Serious trouble with your Graphics and textures
Or just the Startup Problem


RE: Crash on startup... - Lambda - 09-10-2011

Nope, NVidia GeForce. And IF that would have been the problem, I would have gotten it earlier, eh?


RE: Crash on startup... - Lambda - 09-18-2011

Okay, so here's my last resort.
I uploaded a build of the mod, without all important custom things(Voiceacting etc.), to see if anyone can find a bug or anything.

Please, only use this to check if you can help me with finding the bug, and dont distribute/steal my work, you wouldn't really be a nice person, to put it in a way that I wont get banned for offensive language.

In your theturn_main_init.cfg file, the value for GameLanguageFolder points to a folder that doesn't exist (i.e. the folder name is different than the one referenced).
