Random IE Stock YR

[Hogo]

One last time, I went right back to the release candidate earliest I could find and BAM IE again.

Stock YR + Ares No -log command this time
1920 X 1080

Could this all be down to me running a 64bit OS? what are you all running?

[mevitar (mevitar)]

32 bit OS, but i'm also running on 1024x768 resolution. I also can't remember any random IEs on Ares, and not one IE on Ares and stock YR. I'll give it a try later.

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

It's the same surface unlocking thing.

I use Win7 64bit and i don't have this problem. Maybe it's related to the high resolution. Did you try to reduce it?

[Hogo (hogo)]

I will try on a lower Resolution, Gona be weird not seeing everything shame 1920 X 1080 was amazing ;p

Will let you know tonight ;)

I'm running 1920x1080 @ Win 7 Pro 64-bit...

No compatibility mode, desktop composition disabled.

[Hogo (hogo)]

Added New Except:

YR Stock
Windows 7 Pro 64bit @ 1920 x 1080 With No Compatability modes & Desktop Composition disabled for the EXE.

Always happens to me :(

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

Can you post your Ares.ini?

[Hogo (hogo)]

I don't have one? Should I? :S also another test

Added New Except:

YR Stock
Windows 7 Pro 64bit @ 1280 x 768 With No Compatability modes & Desktop Composition disabled for the EXE.

BTW I also play from an ISO YR Copy, but could that be it?
Also LB only gives the 1050 Version of Ares is that the newest?

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

You could try to experiment with the advanced graphical settings in ares.ini. No guarantee that anything changes, though.

I don't think the Yuri's Revenge edition is causing this, as long as the gamemd.exe file is an original one.

Revision 1050 is the latest in the more-graphics branch. Latest overall revision is 1094.

[Hogo (hogo)]

Does 1094 Include the graphical changes?
and I will have to check the ISO actually, never thought of it having a changed gamemd, I have a Yuri CD but its dam well broken xD

Does Ares work with The First Decade?

and does this seem okay, I had Surface.$surface.Memory=System but it instant IE in game when I clicked to build a powerplant.

;Ares.ini
[Graphics.Advanced]
DirectX.Force=hardware ;(hardware|emulation)
Surface.$surface.Memory=VRAM ;(System|VRAM)
Surface.$surface.Force3D=true ;(true|false)

[Hogo (hogo)]

Okay with those Ares.ini Settings I still got a dam IE halfway through the game =/

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

You got to replace "$surface" by the values mentioned in the manual. Don't use the DirectX.Force and Surface.*.Force3D values for now. Like:

[Graphics.Advanced]
Surface.Sidebar.Memory=System
Surface.Alternate.Memory=System
Surface.Composite.Memory=System
Surface.Hidden.Memory=System
Surface.Tile.Memory=System

Ares works with both the original edition and The First Decade.

[Hogo (hogo)]

Crash again with those values, are all these excepts im posting the exact same issue?

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

Yes. You can see it in the first value below "Stack dump"; it's always 004BAFC9.

[Hogo (hogo)]

Does that tell you anything? Still the surface unlocking I guess.

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

It fails to get the height of a surface in the unlocking method. I've seen it several times, but I don't know why it happens.

[Hogo (hogo)]

Apparently Installing TFD and installing the 1050 and 1093 Downloads in Launchbase the game seems to run great, I also added the Ares.ini tags you suggested Alex and its going great.

Thanks

quick question though, in LB you can download separate Features/Fixes is there a trunk with all of them in one?

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

That's the whole purpose of these separate branches. They are tested separately, and if they are deemed stable, they are integrated back into the trunk. To get all features, you'll have to wait until they are done.

[Hogo (hogo)]

Ah right, When something is resolved its merged into the trunk?

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

When the developer deems it ready to be used. (Such discussion better fits into the forums.)

[Hogo (hogo)]

Okay I have TFD now and I just got the same Error, Same code as before "004BAFC9"
TBH I think Yuri's Revenge is just a bad engine xD EXCEPT added

[Hogo (hogo)]

Further testing Indicated that is it Ares causing the crash due to "004BAFC9" I run three games with Ares, One with the Public release one with version 1050 graphic changes and one with the 0.2 fixes.

All three crashed with the same Error code each time, I since tried YR Stock no Ares at 1920 X 1080 and it works fine no errors just the old slow engine that existed before Ares.

I can't help but think its the changes that were made to the way the game handles the graphics the default settings.

But I am not one of you so I don't really know.

Thanks
