Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

While trying to play a game of Instant Action,  When in the loading splash screen right after you hit launch,  when the bar reaches the entire was loaded.  right at that instant, my game crashes, and i get an error report for Stock A2.
i dont know if this will help, but the error signature is

AppName: armada2.tgt          AppVer: 43.0.0.0       ModName: armada2.tgt
ModVer: 43.0.0.0        Offset: 000cd3a1


i don't have to time to copy the error report contents, but the files included in the report is

C:\DOCUME~1\JOEA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\6263_appcompat.txt


i hope that this helps, and that this isnt a fatal error for anyting?

 :crybaby:

hmmm, a temp file bought it ... MORE RAM!!!

Your memory systems bit the bullet methinks, although me no expert.

MORE RAM!! MORE RAM!!!

Did you make any changes to the game?
I usually only got this one after I screwed something up while modding.
It disappeared again after I fixed the wrong line or whatever caused the crash.

nope, no changes that i know of.  i've never touched the code for anything.   :innocent:

would a full uninstall and reinstall fix it?

Well, that's what solves problems in over 90%... But i would not recommend to reinstall your FO until someone says that there's no other way to fix it.
But if you don't mind to reinstall it, this might solve youre problem very quick - or not at all.  :ermm:

sorry for double post, but after a frustratingly difficult uninstalling and reinstalling, and repeating the process over and over due to the game crashing in the very starting up instead
and then after the startup worked, the reinstall failed to fix my Instant Action game crashing. 

no, no, no
Ram is really cheap at the moment (ironically, atm). About 100 bucks for 2 gb ddr2 I think!

But anyway, what's ur rig?

forgot about this.
My OS-Windows XP Professional Edition
My CPU- Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.8 Ghz
My RAM- 512 MB Chip, but 384 MB available for use
My GFX Card- ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000/9100 IGP  with the latest drivers downloaded (there were none)
My FO Version- Fleet Operations 3.0 PR + Fleet Operations 3.0 PR Patch 1

Errrr. *cough*

Athlon 2000 + or Pentium 4 (2.44 GHz) and higher

Windows 2000/XP/Vista
128 MB Video Card or higher

You most likely need to get some more RAM; possibly something else is taking up that last bit of space you have and hogging it while your loading instant action...
Just half a gig should do it...
On the other hand, if this is a very recent problem and nothing else has changed on your system... take it to the tech guys at a comp store or maybe the Geek Squad.

this is a recent problem (Read:since this morning) , and the last bit of RAM is eated up by my video card. I am planning to buy more RAM, and yeah.

or if you are really strapped for cash and havent got a local games store you can allways try |MG| Free Download - GameGain 2 2.8.6.2007 (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3930.html)

Yeah, some of my friends use the gamegoin thing and it actually works fairly well!

Darn that it's a recent error though... but on the other hand it makes the problem easier to fix.
Good Luck!
ps you can still play online right?

yeah, thankfully,

i just cant practice anything  :blush:

well as long as you can play online :).

also sorry about spamming you yesterday in that 8 players game [or was it six player] with BOP's and K'tingas >.>

How did that game turn out... it looked really fun!

i got wiped by Feds [Cairo was it?] and what was left of Lumpy's fleet

sorry for what? exploiting a weakness in the enemies defenses I.E. my not researching tachyon grid? and totally demolishing his base with a giant space bulldozer?

i should be apologizing for not having anything with which to defend myself with.


=EDIT=
Nope, Cairo was Romulan, MJP was Feds, and that was not remnants, that was part of my reconstructed fleet.

so how does one use romies effectively: strat suggestions for me....?  :whistling:

i dunno, only played 1 game with them ;) and love em allready. only 8 ships for a fleet?

i didnt even realise who i was attacking, and i like trying to play sneaky with klingons :). Roms or better though :D

hey, i was re  building. 

and for tactics, you could go Cairo's route: spam Little ships

or mine: build a couple fleets of varios high quality ships.

What do you mean 8 ships?

And how do you get to high quality ships if you are facing someone like Rhaz; ie early game wipeout...?
And for little ships; just shrikes... or the rhien's or the the last option (forgot the name; you can make them into frigates or support)?

this is a complete different subject, but was season was the dominion war ?

Generix

The Dominion War started at the tail end of season five of DS9, and basically lasted the whole of seasons 6 and 7. This can be frustrating if you want to buy the episiodes, because the first double episode of the outbreak of the war overlaps seasons 5 and 6. However, there are many aspects to the build up of the conflict in earlier seasons, as far back as season 3 if you want the first Jem'hadar hostilities. I advise dishing out £1000 and buying them all. Phew, that's a lot of money  :sweatdrop:

Calm down, calm down... everybody, please calm down!  :sweatdrop:
Amazon.com:  (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/102-0146767-8372956?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Deep+Space+Nine&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go)

If you order all seven seasons from amazon.com, you can get them for 299,- US $.  :thumbsup:

That's a very good price that, that's about £600 at current exchange rates, right?  :ermm: £400 quid saving, great stuff!!!  :D

So what would you recommend building and mixing Bob? (or anyone else for that matter)

Incidently, what do you call a man with no arms and no logs floating in the ocean.
Yeah, that's right.
-dom

I think £200 :)

i recommend mixing around various generix variants, Norexans, Cehlears/Eresis, and some D'Deridex. 

course, it takes a bit of time, and is expensive, but boy, is it fun!

Yeah Mr. Lumpy, that's what I like to do to! :woot:
...but unfortunately I usually get creamed before I get the chance to even start building any of the warbird yard class ships... however, any advice is good advice, so thanks!

Oops, I realized what I meant to say was "a man without arms or logs in the ocean"
/Bob: get it, huh, huh?
Sorry for that, I was in the semi-joking mood.
-dom :D

nope,i dont get it

upon another test of the fleet ops version i run, it was found out that the crashing was caused by me using the random map setting.  :sweatdrop:
