Hi.

When ever I try to run FleetOps 3PR, I only get as far as the splash before I get this error saying that the program has to quit and there was an error with armada2.tgt

I've tried this on another computer too and I get the same message. Both computers run XP and both meet (and exceed ) the game requirements [My system: 2.4 Ghz w/ 1GB ram & 128 Nvidia Geforce 4; all drivers up to date].
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks.

@Doc : Here is the error file thing that my computer produced. There was his larger one with binary data and so on, but I could not copy it out of its box and paste it into a word pad. If that is the one you want, could you please explain the steps needed to recover it. Also, I've included a screen shot of the error box before the 'more' part with all the binary and hex


@ nef: I wish it was that easy. I've deinstalled/installed this nth number of times with no success on BOTH computers 


(Oh, this version of the crash came form my 1.7Ghz/512 RAM computer, the one that I originally played fleetops 2 on without any problems.)

you could try to use the Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Updated beta loader - Vista compatibility from here. if the error still occours then, you should get a better error report also.

Right, that didn't work (But many thankyou for pointing to the link and for the help and attention so far )

Anyway, I found what seems to be the loggers of crash data that FleetOps makes. I've attached them; the logloader is the more recent one. I hope these were the more advanced error logs you wanted.

sorry for my late reply.
is the error offset still 0025ca48, when the error window comes up? (your unititled.jpg screenshot above)

No prob.

As for the offset, for the most part yes...but the in the last test I also got 00001010 as a offset. After that the same 0025ca48 and then a 00001010 again.

So it seems to occasionally shift a bit. I don't know why, but it does.

==[edit]==

I also came across another post that seemed to suggest the same thing:  Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Fleet Ops bug on XP

So this probably isn't just isolated to me.

just tested it but lead me to nothing yet, it seems to be a crash produced by armada 2 and i haven't yet integrated a2 exception logging in the old v3pr loader code.

does vanilla armada 2 work without problems? it would be good if it is crashing too (atleast for debugging reasons  )

vanilla armada 2? == the pure game?

I wouldn't know as I don't have it installed. I'm simply running the mod.

If it would help, I could run and test it.
