Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

Im getting a eoutofmemory error when i try and boot up FO, i did a clean install before, and ran fine the first time, but when i left and entered again it came up with the same error.

Im using 3.1.1

If anyone can help it would be appreciated, i know 3.0 through 3.0.7 also had this error for quite a few people.

well if there was no editing to the game, I would suggest it hast to do with your ram

he has more than enough ram, if it continues to be problematic, run a memory tester. to see if one of your modules is defective.

yeah, I just figured ram would be the first problem, but most people have enough.

You might jus

t try to do a complete shut down on your system, then re start it.  That would always fix my XP problems. :sweatdrop:

Sorry to be another cook in the kitchen, but I'd suggest a reinstall of FO - I assume you didn't install FO in the same folder as AII?

I dont have AII installed, i just used my cd to install FO.

A restart didnt help.

As i said, i installed FO, booted it, it got an error, i uninstalled both AII and FO, installed FO again without AII, tried it, it worked, i played a game, i quit, i booted it up again and i got the same error as i got before the reinstall.

Hmm, sorry to hear that... I seem to recall this error happening before - perhaps running a search for it in the forums might bring you some luck  :sweatdrop:

I tried a search before i posted the topic, i found 3 other topics reporting the same error, but they were all back in 2008, and none of them found a solution.

I guess just wait for Doca then to find the topic :)

thats very strange :(

I've never experienced anything like this before, so I really can't help.  sorry :'(

lol yeah i might as well sit tight and wait.

Thanks for trying anyway guys.

have u tested your memory to see if its ok?

I dont know how.

is it possible to send me the full error report please (to the regular address)? thank you

Whats the regular address? I sent it to docacola@fl33tops.net, i changed it to 3's incase theres like spambots that read emails on here. >.>

bugs@ etc is the usual address, but this one is fine too :) just got your report. i will see if i can find anything that may help

Ok thanks a lot.

i may have traced the problem back to our exception component. i have a version uploaded where it is disabled. could you please try it?
http://fleetops.masters-lan.info/debug/fodevJenraux.exe
this is an installer.

just tell me if it works or still crashes for you. note: if it crashes then instead of our exception box, the one from windows should come up.

I received a windows error now:

Application Error

Exception EOutOfMemory in module FleetOpsHook.dll at 00005185.

Also afterwards it tried to boot up the original AII, but that crashed on a blackscreen saying an unexpected error has occured.

ok, so it was not the exception engine. i guess i will have to ask the developer of the 3rd party component why the crash occurs
edit: ok, forget it, it seems to be something else anyway

i have uploaded a new version, could you please try it?

Same error again :/.

These threads all reported the same error, but they were back in 2008 - early 2009.

same memory address? Exception EOutOfMemory in module FleetOpsHook.dll at 00005185.?

yes, i know that this issue is not a new one, but it's never to late to try to find a fix ;)

Yes the error was exactly the same as with the original installer.

ok, this gave me some directions. i will continue work on this problem later, i have got to go now. thanks for your help so far.

Thanks for trying to help :)

ok, another try. :)

Windows error:

Exception Eoutofmemory in module fleetopshook.dll at 00004EE5.

Can anyone help me out here? :(

Im desperate, so here goes another reinstall :P

Meh, i tried a reinstall, and it didnt even work the first time this time.

i have further tried to investigate your problem, but didn't came up with a solution. it seems like just what it says, for some reason fleet operations can not register memory on your system. it may be related some kind of software you are running in parallel, but i couldn't find anything unusual on your processes list. maybe it helps if you temporary create a brand new user account on your computer and try to run it from there. just an idea to see if it is anything related to user settings.

I tried running it with a new user account, but i got the same error as before. I guess i'll just have to leave it and try it periodically to see if it works. :P

...... have you thought maybe there is something with the RAM driver that isn't liking the game? Or maybe FO can't read the driver correctly? Have you thought of that?

Well that means nothing to me :P.

A driver is a set of files saying "This is how it works:0123456789"

I'm simply asking if FO could be reading it wrong or maybe does not like the driver.

Because it could be reading it as "9876543210:This is how it works", or some other screwed up order. Because if it reads it wrong than it could misinterpret the memory as some smaller RAM card.

there is not something like a driver to access memory. i am sure it has to do with system configuration, nothing hardware related. i just don't know what you could do to fix it. i guess a newly installed windows would not have this issue - that is of course nothing i expect from you to do. thanks for trying with the new user account.

Sorry if people are getting annoyed with me persisting with this, but anyone else have any ideas they could throw out here? :)

Well you could try what I did in the other thread, that seemed to incidentlly solve the problem.

Go to windows/system32 and move the uxtheme.dll file to your desktop.
After starting Fleetops put the uxtheme.dll file back in system32 and try to play the game.

Well that didnt help at all :/.

Windows prevents you from moving/deleting it, as soon as i removed it, windows automatically created another copy, so i tried again, and now i have 2 uxthemes, one on desktop and one in system32, and i cant move either of them. :(

i tend to leave all files in system32 alone changing them tends to mess up your system.

sorry for the huge size, right click and select view image (if view image isnt there, switch to firefox, then it will be)

Wow super long post, No Spoilers present? ;)

Btw it really does work for me, the uxtheme.dll thing,
I was not making it up if the poster before me implies that, in any way, using windows XP Professional and it does not make a copy of the file here, I can simply put it on desktop.

Sorry it doesn't work for you.

Wundai

i wasnt implying anything about the problem  ^-^, i was completely off topic  :whistling:, dircome mentioned leaving system32 alone and i remember the incident described in the image i posted. and what do u mean by spoilers? i dont understand

Mmmm im using windows XP pro SP3, and it just remakes the file when i remove it, i've noticed all windows XP computers do this. Not sure about Vista or 7.

Wow that is really mean
haha i about died when they told him to use the magnet

yup, the moral of the story is never take advice from /b/

Decided to test an older release, version 3 Preview Release works fine on my PC, so obviously something changed between then and now which stopped it working for me.

ALOT changed from then until now... :sweatdrop:



 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oh my gosh Myles that was so funny.  I'm cracking up!!! :lol:  That poor guy just deleated his dads harddrive :lol:

Good thing we don't treat our trolls that way. :whistling:

he didnt just delete the data he actually broke the device. it couldn't ever be used again. :lol:

Shame we've lost a few version, if i remember there was like 3.0.7 ect. before hand, i know 3.1, 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 don't work, and the one before 3.1 is 3.0 PR. Be hard to track down the problem when theres a whole version in between them.

Just trying 3.1.0 again.

Meh :P

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

picture too long to fit in a quote haha :lol:

its not too long.... but its quite big so i didnt include did in quote... :D

3.1.3 Update.

Error is now:

Seems to have changed off of a outofmemory error into an access violation.

Anyone got any further insight on this? Im hoping a accessviolation error is easier to fix than an outofmemory error.

Hm, well, hopefully Doca will get back to you soon if you've sent him the error  :blush:

Ok sent the error report.

Well heard nothing from Doca, so wondering if anyone else has something that could help me? :)
