Title: problems loading oa Post by: diemos on May 20, 2007, 12:40:38 PM i have downloaded the game 5 times and reinstalled it as many.As soon as i click on game it opens the little run box and then turns my screen grey and then i get a windows error msg saying msvcrt.dll.iv tried dling file and placing it in open arena since there is not actually that file in the folder but that does nothing.Ive searched for it and have located it in many spots in my comp like system 32 and java apps.i thought maybe it was something to do with my graphics card but ive changed my x1600 to my 9800 as well as drivers and still same problem?!!!Getting frustrating! HELLPP PLEASE!
Title: Re: problems loading oa Post by: fromhell on May 20, 2007, 09:57:11 PM Weird, because it works right on a clean Win95 system with just only a basic video driver.
Do you use XP? Have you tried playing it in Win2000 compatibility mode? (Yes, that does make luck a little better running it under XP in some cases) Title: Re: problems loading oa Post by: diemos on May 20, 2007, 11:06:06 PM i run xp but i havent tried any other os. not quite sure how .i play enemy territory which im told is run by the same engine so i have no idea
Title: Re: problems loading oa Post by: diemos on May 20, 2007, 11:13:10 PM k tried in windows 2000 compatability mode but same error
Title: Re: problems loading oa Post by: dmn_clown on May 21, 2007, 12:18:38 PM Weird, the game will run on a fresh install of xp pro and in a fully patched xp sp2 without compatibility mode, albeit it requires AMD's catalyst driver's (tested on a radeon 9800).
Try disabling sound or changing your sound driver in the config file. Title: Re: problems loading oa Post by: diemos on May 24, 2007, 04:10:19 PM k ill try an let u know thx
Title: Re: problems loading oa Post by: diemos on May 27, 2007, 06:50:37 PM k nope . ive installed catalyst drivers as well as updated my sound drivers and still i get msvcrt.dll error in windows.hmmm im stumped and going a little batty so i think maybe i was not to play open arena but thx for the help :)
Title: Re: problems loading oa Post by: dmn_clown on May 27, 2007, 07:49:58 PM try disabling openAL in your config file
Code: seta s_useOpenAL "0" It's the only thing that I can think of that would use the visual c++ run time... Title: Re: problems loading oa Post by: diemos on May 28, 2007, 09:22:36 AM i havent been in game yet so i dont even have a config file yet that i can see
