There seems to be an serious error in the RenGuard 1.01 build that brings game.exe to crash. This is a Windows 2000/XP Issue.

It was bought to my attention that setting game.exe into [b]COMPATIBLITY MODE?[/b?] to Windows 98/ME fixes this problem temporarly. It isn't prefect, but it least it starts.

Also, the "quit" button seems to crash then when being in compatbility mode.

Set your shortcut to compatbility mode (Windows 98) when having game.exe crash issues.

We will be addressing this issue tonight, and bring out a fix as soon as possible. We're sorry for the inconvience..

i set compatibility too, and all that happens is renguard shows up in task manager...no motd, no renegade, no anything but renguard in the task manager...didnt you guys think to test for something as big as this before you released 1.01?

We tested it on several PCs. There is only a small percentage with this problem, so none of the PCs in our test group brought this up. Sad

I'm the bawss.

It only seems to be having problems on NT Based systems (NT4, 2k, XP) if you are having problems please go to your renegade directory and set Game.exe into Windows98/Windows ME Compatibillity mode and DISABLE Visual Themes and Advanced Text Services, If this doesn't help then visit the support chat here.
(Make sure you select the channel renguard_support).

EDIT:
It has come to my attention that half the people asking for help with XP problems are not running Service Pack 1. It is recommended you download SP1 before asking for support.


-Khold :mrgreen:

EDIT:
Crimson, I had this problem, you didn't test with enough people. *scold* ;p.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mindkiller.
I will face my fear ,
I will let it pass through me.
And when the fear is gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

I know you guys or girls are doing a good thing by renguard. But the biggest bitch about all software developers is they dont do enough testing before they release a product. I hope all learn a lesson from this. I uninstalled renguard and now even though I am trying to install in right folder it says it isnt and gamespy will not even find my game to see servers.
This sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

Im getting that error as well after renguard updates itself. I dont know if the Windows 2k error message was the same one that you guys looked at, heres mine: The application, , generated an application error The error occurred on 04/16/2004 @ 23:58:37.565 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 77F84805 (RtlInitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount)

Dont know if this helps or not Question Also my windows 2000 pro doesnt have compatability as part of the OS so i cant really try that Sad

I run Win2000 SP4, Retail Renegade, and RG 1.01 works fine for me.
A few of our members are having problems after updating to 1.01 though.

I even gave them my game2.exe but no change, I think the error is reported from Windows as game.exe but I have not seen it. anyone have a SS of the error?

Had them try a fresh copy of Renguard too(ver 1.0 worked for them both)

I downloaded the 1.01 setup file from renguard.com manually, but RG still INSISTS on autoupdating every time I start it up. Why is this?

First off I think Renguard is a great idea and I am very happy with the idea behind it, I understand that bugs are unavoidable. That does not make me feel any better, here is why... Renguard auto updated, maybe if you guys knew there were even a few problems with the update, the update should not have been auto. I’m sure you simply could have removed the update from the server until a better one was put in its place. I had the problem with my Game.exe crashing, tried everything suggested to fix it, NO LUCK! So I uninstalled Renguard and then Renegade wouldn’t work. FINE! No problem, I uninstalled Renegade and reinstalled it. Total time lost trying to fix this thing, over 1 hour. By the time I reinstalled it Westwood was down, not your fault, just the straw that broke the camels back. I love the idea behind Renguard great program, poorly tested before released. Overall satisfaction, I’ll let you know next version, you don’t want my opinion at the moment. For future reference, learn from Bill Gates mistakes. PLEASE!!! Forgive me for venting, I have earned it this time, believe me.

Thank You
Yippydoo
