Defcon won't work after i patched it.

Postby Klemator » Mon Dec 17, 2007 12:26 am

Hi!
I patched my Defcon to the newest one and now it wont work anymore.
All previous versions work, but the newest one wont.

I can start the game, but when i try to start new game or something like that the game just crashes.

Any help please?

I have installed and uninstalled it for 3 times now, so I don't think that will help anymore. I have also tried to install 1.0 (it works) and patched it all the way to 1.43 and everyone of them worked fine until 1.43.

I have newest graphic drives (updated last week). I have also tried tweaked drivers and it doesnt work.

My graph card is Asus N7600GS

That's propably all info I can give.

So now I would like to know, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS!

All help will be appreciated.

Try installing Defcon in another directory? (Or uninstall Defcon, delete Defcon folder manually, then reinstall Defcon)

Else check for a blackbox.txt file in Defcon directory.

No, doesn't work...

Where should this blackbox.txt be? I didn't see it in Defcon folder (C:/Program files/Defcon)?

blackbox.txt should be in Defcon directory if it exists. Is there a debug.txt file in Defcon directory?

Perhaps try redownloading the patch?

Try 1.3? http://www.everybody-dies.com/downloads ... 2-v1.3.exe
Try 1.42? http://www.everybody-dies.com/downloads ... -v1.42.exe

Ok, it seems that it doesn't even create blackbox.txt in Defcon directory

Also I tried to reapply patch and as versio 1.42 or less it works, but when I change it to 1.43 it doesn't work anymore.

When I start the game it works fine, but if I click New Game it crashes and I get that windows message that program must be closed and do you want to report to microsoft about this.

But when I click Join Game, I can see Server Browser and then it crashes and I get that windows message that program... blaa blaa blaa...

So is there anything I can do or do I just need to forget Defcon completely... :(

I guess you can play 1.42 (there is almost no difference between 1.42 and 1.43, the only change is to fix an in-game exploit)
