Epsilon 5 Posted April 9, 2001 Report Posted April 9, 2001 When I play on a friend's computer, I randomly come with this odd error. quote: Microsoft Visual C++ Debug libraryDebug assertion failed!Program D:BCMBCM.exe File: fprint.c Line: 56Expression: str != NULLFor information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.(Press Retry to debug the application)[Abort] [Retry] [ignore] Here comes the important system specs: quote: P3 533EB 192mb sdram pc-133 mtb asus A7V-something (?), intel chipset 820 ATI Rage fury MAXX 64mb 40gig hard-drive, 2gig free Windows 98SE When I press ignore, the computer freezes. When I press debug OR abort, the game exits, but the computer freezes seconds later.It doesn't matter the ship I'm in or the mission I'm playing. It takes about 20 to 40 mins to crash. The res setting is 1024x768 in 32bits (in-game), while in 1152x??? 32bits in windows.I was almost to the enemy station! Damn fleet C&C is fun!
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 9, 2001 Report Posted April 9, 2001 ...and how did my game end up on your friend's computer?So, you decide to violate my NDA, is that correct?Good. Am kicking you off the Beta program later tonite.
Soback Posted April 9, 2001 Report Posted April 9, 2001 Maybe he means the demo? (say it's the demo) By the way I have almoust the same computer and C++ and when I play Diablo 2 sometimes I get a similar message about the program trying to debug that game, my comp doesn's freeze though.
Epsilon 5 Posted April 9, 2001 Author Report Posted April 9, 2001 You can kick me out of the beta... I'm not in. It's the demo.I haven't played with cmd lines param, and he don't have the C++ installed.[ 04-09-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]
Hector Socas Navarro Posted April 9, 2001 Report Posted April 9, 2001 But the demo episode I is based on the debug build, so even if you didn't mess with command line parameters you're playing the debug version.
Kush Posted April 9, 2001 Report Posted April 9, 2001 I had practically that same message myself. I find it happens after a certain period of time with the demo.I assume it's a problem that only applies to the demo and not the full game. (I'm lovin the graemlins)
Epsilon 5 Posted April 9, 2001 Author Report Posted April 9, 2001 But then I can't have fun with the demo... This thing is about getting the game to work alright.
Hector Socas Navarro Posted April 9, 2001 Report Posted April 9, 2001 There was a problem discovered not too long ago related to the game trying to write on an inexisting debug file. To fix it you have to add the /d1 command option. Did you remember to do this?[ 04-09-2001: Message edited by: Hector Socas Navarro ]
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 10, 2001 Report Posted April 10, 2001 LOL!!! I know you're not in the Beta E5, I guess my sarcasm didn't work.That would be the normal response if you were in the Beta of course. Since its the demo....aw fergedit, my 'ead 'urts when I type, so am prolly not making any sense.Try Hector's suggestion
Epsilon 5 Posted April 10, 2001 Author Report Posted April 10, 2001 quote:I guess my sarcasm didn't work.Really not. I would not think that a Supreme commander would make a "serious" joke to one of his subordinate. Well, I'll start playing with the cmd line params I hope the full game won't do that error, because I know some people will trow the game in the trash can seconds after
Gallion Posted April 10, 2001 Report Posted April 10, 2001 quote:I hope the full game won't do that error, because I know some people will trow the game in the trash can seconds after How can you even try to compare a 1st run demo, based on beta code, to a release version on the game?Relax, chill, and wait patiently 'cause Episode 2 of the demo will blow you away TTFN[ 04-10-2001: Message edited by: Gallion ]

Heck, Episode I wasn't even compiler-optimized.
Kush Posted April 10, 2001 Report Posted April 10, 2001 I would use the fix you suggested, but I have to stop playing the demo.It just makes me want more.I'm dying to see the terrain engine.The wait is killing me.
skydiver Posted April 11, 2001 Report Posted April 11, 2001 Please what is this "/d1" command and where do you put it.
Epsilon 5 Posted April 11, 2001 Author Report Posted April 11, 2001 Ok, i worked. Thanks a lot.Hey, I just noticed that the time compression was back. Firing the main gun at 8x is more than cool! Kush, you're just like me! Right now I'm in need of a flight simulator. BCM will do the job until I can get Janes ATF-fighter anthology back.
Tyrn Posted April 12, 2001 Report Posted April 12, 2001 quote:Originally posted by skydiver: Please what is this "/d1" command and where do you put it.You need to look at the properties for the Demo short-cut and add "/d1" (minus the "") to the command-line. If you are unsure how to do this, contact me directly.ICQ 85470286 [email protected]
skydiver Posted April 12, 2001 Report Posted April 12, 2001 I've tried that and it still do not work. example: 3000ADBattlecruiser Millennium Demobcm.exe /d1Is this correct?
skydiver Posted April 12, 2001 Report Posted April 12, 2001 Ok i'm sorry i think i have got it now you have got create a short cut from scratch and the /d1 option is placed outside the quotes "demo command line" /d1 is this correct?.
