Crashing =(

<div class="IPBDescription">ns crashes on right-mouse click menu</div> Hi all:

So basically ns worked fine for me till I installed 2.0. Now, it crashes everytime I click the right-mouse button to bring up the 'in-game menu'. I get that nasty explorer box thingy saying that an exception occurred here or there, and to click OK to exit or Cancel to debug. I've already tried installing and uninstalling twice. Any ideas?

Can you tell us the information we require via the forum FAQ? Also, are you running HL/CS/DOD? We also (this is important) need the specific error message.

My guess is you are missing a sprite, which will cause this sort of thing.

I'm sorry, here is the necessary info:

CPU speed and make: pIII 600MHz
S3 savage/IX (64MB), crystal soundfusion (i think)
win2k
opengl
halflife

There isn't a specific error message, NS just hangs (but the process is still running) and I just get busted back to my desktop. It only happens when I try to access the in-game menu. I'm unsure if it's related, but I'm also one of those getting the "overwatch_scheme" missing font message when connecting to a game.

Thanks.

Bleh... can you tell us what your mouse2 is bound to in your config.cfg?

xsephiroth · August 2003

"+popupmenu"

But I've tried binding other keys to it, and I still get the same result. Pop-up menu appears foa split-second, then -crash-.

Can you uninstall and reinstall NS? I think yoiu have a missing or corrupt popup menu sprite, and that will crash you for sure.

If that don't work we can try and give you said sprites (but try the reinstall first)

xsephiroth · August 2003

Yup, just tried reinstalling again, same deal. What now?

MonsieurEvil · August 2003

Bleh. Do you have the same issue when you run in Direct3D as well, as opposed to opengl?

xsephiroth · August 2003

Well, I tried running Direct3D but it I could not connect to a game. It kept saying, "could not connect to server" everytime I tried.

woooohoooo someone having the same problem as me atlast. do u also get the same problem when u run the game from console and then press escape and click on config and click on done again? plz try that, because if it does then we both the the same exact problem and hopefully have the same solution.

btw i am running win xp on 1 ghz amd athlon 8mb shared vram and 312mb ram. i will try the d3d now and let ya guys know. also i just installed sp1 so i dunno if that helps or now.
