Supreme Cmdr Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 My fault. I forgot to upload the new .XML file that Updater needs. Try it now please. EDIT: I deleted your post. You haven't yet downloaded the .14 patch, yet you were posting about a previous patch KNOWN to be problematic? Gimme a break.

Case Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Please reread my post. I was able to download .14 after you posted your new .XML file. The date on my .exe's are 27/04/06 3:12PM and 3:13PM for the single player and MP .exe respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I hope IGN didn't send me the incorrectly protected versions. I'd have to check with them. And did you two actually install the April DirectX runtime or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperado Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 yes i have the april directx runtime. I tested the game without the update too make sure i was up too date and it ran fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Just to confirm, I have the latest DirectX runtime as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 OK, I've uploaded a newly protected build. Change your version in the INI file to .13 and run the Updater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Rolled back and reinstalled .14 I am still getting the same crash where it just exits to desktop shortly after displaying the 3000AD logo. No error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 uhm, try disabling the logo with /n. And run it in a Window to see if you can catch an error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Ran it again as suggested. It displays the empty (black) window with the title UNIVERSAL COMBAT: A WORLD APART (Version 1.00.14 of May 1 2006) then it closes. No error or message of any sort.

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Add /w1 /d5 to the shortcut and try it again. Post the contents of the debug log files. Also, make absolutely certain that you have installed the April DX runtime. When in doubt, re-install and reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I re-downloaded the directx update from your link in this thread, installed and rebooted. I the game with the switches above (/w1 and /d5), same result, exits to desktop with no error. There is a ucdebug.log file created but it has a 0 byte value, it's empty. First time that has happened to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 If that log file is empty, then the video sub-system (DX) didn't even initialize. Are you sure only one .log file exists? Well, I'm stumped. Back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Positive, it's there. I even ran it a few times and it's definitely being created, but empty. Good luck SC, let us know when you have something else for us to try. If someone else could also test this latest patch, that would be great to confirm it's not something wrong with my PC. Also to see if they are getting a blank ucdebug.log file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
