Title: crash when changing options
Post by: eugene17 on March 01, 2009, 01:44:38 PM

hi,

game crashes when changing something within options.

specs of my machine
core 2 duo p8600 2.4ghz
2gb ram
vista business 32bit

fairly new 3 month old lenovo t400 so i don't think its a hardware issue. if i don't go into option the game runs fine.

Vista issues a not very helpful warning. it says

Dyson has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
Debug or close program

hope this helps! great game!

Oh Vista... I do love that error text... "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly."

"Oh really? I never thought that a problem could cause it to stop working... That is SO weird. I'm glad you decided not to bother me with any specifics on the problem..."

Windows 7 better suck less than Vista.

On 7, you get the same kind of error. If you let windows shut it down, it logs the exception or whatever that went wrong in the event logs (this should also happen in Vista and XP I believe). You can view the event logs in the administrative control panel.

You do get details (little expander flyout at the bottom), but face it - you wouldn't know what to do with them :P

I'm just glad a crash on vista doesn't lock up the whole processor, forcing a total reboot. Had that way too many times on XP. Currently, my uptime is over 5 days - never would have achieved that if I wasn't on vista.
