Shock

Someone really needs to take some initiative. I don't give a shit who owns the zone, I just want to play it again. SSCV Devastation has deathball in ?go deathball with green MG ships and settings if anyone wants to get a fix in the mean time.

Solved. Created a custom resolution (reg hack) to use 1440x1024 and all seems okay. Thanks for the help! If anyone wants to know how to do it, contact me in game.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. The only time I've seen a DLL init fail is like you said, when Windows is shutting down. However, I have no idea what language that is.

I agree. It's not my fault I can afford a 23" monitor and most of TW can't. I don't mind the res limit, though. It's just retarded that I can't use 1280x1024 because my screen flashes black. Do you have any advice?

Never did solve this. Anyone?

If you can honestly say that you've performed a CLEAN install on your hard drive to attempt to solve this issue, it's about time to start ruling out software issues. Before we do that, do you have all the drivers for your system? See here: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000833.htm RAM issues are known to cause random errors in applications and Windows in general however, it's rare that it consistently causes the same problem for one specific application. I would run a memtest on your RAM just to be sure, especially considering the age. Does anyone know if this can be an issue with his version of Windows? Not sure of the language, but maybe it's an incompatibility? Just saying.

Have you tried installing to C:\Users\%USER%\Documents folder?

Well, Trench Wars LD and DD arenas only allow 1440x900 or smaller. 1440x900 sucks because it's just not tall enough! 1280x1024 is the best res, but it flashes on me. =[

It's like continuous though, randomly. I thought about changing my desktop resolution to a 4:3 resolution prior to opening the game, but I haven't tried it. I have an Asus 23" 1080P LCD monitor and an Acer 22" LCD monitor.

Seems when I use a 4:3 resolution on my 16:9 monitor, my screen will flash black randomly for about 5 seconds. Why is this and what can I do to fix it? Radeon HD3300 ATI Driver version: 8.631.000 Happens on my other PC too.

this.

Strange problem. Have you tried the 9800 since putting in the new one? Doesn't make sense that it worked at one point in time, stopped working for no reason, works in another computer, but doesn't work in yours. I know it doesn't matter now, but you should always try to reset the CMOS when you're not getting POST.

Can I have some information on your computer? i.e.: Operating system, GPU, RAM, etc.

Is your Esc key sticking maybe? That would exit the zone while it's loading. Are you receiving any write error messages when it exits? Try running the game in windowed mode.

Yeah, alby is my bff. I hope it's really him!
