Sometimes my Renegade just crashes
(exits to desktop without warning),
and generates no crashdump.txt too.

I have the latest patch and scripts

I do believe it may have to do with beam weapons
(being the last thing I see before it crashes)

Any help here?

C C_guy do you have a problem reading or something?!

1) 4.0 will be released with the TT patch.

2) I can't say. Have you checked for the crashdumps appearing in C:\westwood\renegade\debug ?

Clearly the issue is that your renegade folder has nothing in it...!

Seriously - I can't say, what's your hardware and operating system?

Anyways I don't think it's my pc, worked fine without your scripts 3.4.4. (Could it be that?)

well I did goof around with the beam type weapons
(volt auto, laser rifle, obelisk etc)
I did mess with: elasticity,
terrain activated,
time activated,
soft pierce limit

PS
seems to only happen with beam weapons that have special
after damages (laser chaingun, voltauto)
never crashes when i use repair gun

You played with (probably) broken settings in a definately broken engine and wonder why it crashed? There's your answer...

"I goofed around with the beam type weapons"

"The last thing I see before the crash is a beam type weapon"

I think I found it! Put the settings back.

1. "never crashes when i use repair gun"
how about that?

2. I did, still crashes, now crashes with the ion cannon beacon

3. Like i said, could the problem be caused by your scripts 3.4.4 or what?

4. Why is there no crashdump.txt or _except.txt generated?

I'm familiar with this problem. While working on Tiberium Redux i had it first with the pistol and afterwards with the Nuke Beacon (Pistol works now). I don't know exactly what it's caused by but when i know i tell you Wink

PS. I got some crashdumps. Maybe i can post one so someone can take a look?? (crashdumps should be made a bit more easier to read)

Do a clean reinstall of renegade, and if you frequently play around, have two installs on your machine, so you can lose one without loss of the ability to play online etc.

Only someone with access to the source code and plenty of time could tell you.
