Crashing problem have looked at read me first info

Postby dgg9879 » Sun Sep 03, 2006 12:48 pm

The game crashes on biosphere level. I tried setting sound details to minimum but it still does it, shortly after level starts when I make some armour.

I read in the read me first section to edit this file so that RenderLandscapeMode = 1 is in there. This command does not even exist in my preferences file. I read in the read me first section it can also be changed through game options but I tried that and could not see an option to change RenderLandscapeMode.

I have a Celeron 2.8Ghz, 1gb RAM, FX 5200 graphics card. I have already updated my graphics card driver to the latest and have the latest version of direct x

Please tell me if you have some ideas to fix the problem

Currently a well-known and unsolved bug in the Windows version causes the game to crash if your Battle Cannons get commandeered by Reddies. Is this your issue?

1) Assuming that RenderLandscapeMode is the problem (which it is not), you would have to add that line to your preferences.txt. It is not there by default.

2) You said that the problem occurs when you make armour. Are you sure that it does not occur after you have set up a battle cannon, and said cannon is taken over by red DGs? There is a fairly well known bug in the Windows version that causes Darwinia to crash when a large group of red DGs try to take over a battle cannon in a level that contains an AI unit.
