TDM Crash to Desktop every time


NeonsStyle

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

I noticed in the mission list my mission didn't have my author name in it, so I edited the darkmod.txt file in my mission folder

and added it, and now the game crashes to desktop every single time. I figured corrupt save file, so deleted that, no help.

I redownloaded my mission from the forum, and still it crashes.

 

Anyone know why? How do I fix it?

 

Thanks

At what point does it crash to desktop? Before entering the main menu, when starting to load an FM (is it just a specific FM or all FMs?), when finished loading? Which version of TDM are you running?

 

It's before it gets to the main menu. You never even see it. It crashes during the grey screen.

Fixed: It was wrong format of Author in darkmod.txt in my fm I think. I deleted it and it sorted it.

I had this same problem for a long time. Every mission I tried crashed to desktop about halfway through loading. FYI My box is a win 7 32 bit ultimate with geforce 730 2gig and 8 gigs ram with an ASUS P8p67- LE mobo. It worked really well before TDM 2.07, but not after. The problem is memory Allocation. Its a malloc failure (268435456)- at least im my case. None of the usual fixes to the config file worked nor did anything else.  After considerable research and study of the problem i found that In win 7 32bit you can't get past about 3.9gig limit even if you have 8gigs of ram. I upgraded my box to win 7 64 bit ultimate clean install (dual boot so all the old stuff i had is still available) and now the malloc error is gone and TDM runs perfect. It just needed a 64 bit system to be able to allocate properly. I hope this helps others with this vexing problem. TDM is too good to miss.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
