No load, just error message
Trifinity:
Every time I attempt to load the game, I get an error message, no load screen, the instant my mouse clicks the error pops up (encountered a problem and needs to close)
System specs are:
3 GB of RAM (1 OCZ 2 G-Skill)
AMD Athalon 64-bit 4000+ processor, socket AM2, 2.61GHz
Windows XP SP2
Radeon X1600 video card (which might be the problem, it's an old card...) using ATI's 9-2 display drivers (Drivers only)
Tried a reinstall to no avail, as well as temporarily disabled my Comodo internet security and BOclean.
If you need more information let me know.
Alex:
Card doesn't seem that old... hmm.
So you run the game, and you get an error (what kind of error?), and if you then click on the screen you get another error (this time a windows one)?
Trifinity:
I don't even load, I double click the .exe or the shortcut I get the classic 'encountered a problem and needs to close' error and it tries to send an error report to Microsoft,
The error signature is:
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : dyson.exe P2 : 1.0.0.0 P3 : 497e30cc
P4 : dyson P5 : 1.0.0.0 P6 : 497e30cc P7 : 328 P8 : 0
P9 : system.typeloadexception
and the error report is too long for me to copy-past here.
wogan:
system.typeloadexception?
I gather that there aren't a lot of try-catch statements in Dyson's code then, lol.
I guess the only way to get any detailed information on this would be to see which method is throwing the exception, and then try to get the full message it gives. This'll involve rewriting the game's loading code to output more detail in event of an exception - which involves testing every method call.
I'm willing to bet that there is a way to fix it, though.
Alex:
I don't try that hard no ;)
Dyson is completely crap at error handling; I've been really unprofessional about it. I'll have to work out where it would be good to put tries, as I understand they aren't that cheap (could be FUD? haven't done any research really).
