Using 3.4.4? I think it's related to that

It could be anything, the error itself looks like an attempt to use an uninitialised pointer, which means that scripts is probably responsible, but my C++ sucks, so I couldn't find it.

Equally, it could be in there, and my ASM is worse than my C++ (Read: nonexistant)

(The reason I am blaming scripts is I have never had that on a vanilla Renegade install - although you can't play on most servers decently without 2.9.2)

game.exe can crash due to scripts.dll giving it dodgy parameters for functions and whatnot, which could be why the crashdump appears to come from game.exe. As for the cause, I have no idea.

The module where the crash occurred does not help you very much in this case. A crash in game.exe could be a bug in Renegade or scripts.dll. A crash in scripts.dll could also be a bug in Renegade or scripts.dll (though first one is less likely).

Looking at the dump and the code, this is a really scary bug which is almost impossible to happen Oo

Does it happen without Custom Scripts?

Permabanned for trying and failing DDoS
Deinstall Renegade and restart PC. Then when you restrtet your PC reinstall Renegade that should fix the Problemm, and BEFORE you shutdown your PC check if theres still a "Renegade" folder.

Because the call stack says that an effective address was loaded at EAX register (someAddress + a fixed offset) and it is quite rare that someAddress accidently has a value causing the addition to be zero Wink

So Yrr, you're trying to say that game.exe is dividing by zero?!

OH GOD WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!

No, it just added an essentially random number to a pointer, then tried to use it (is how I understand it)

No, game.exe tries to access memory at address 0, but there is no available memory.
