xchaos Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic...t%20start&st=30 I have the same problems as everyone else in the above topic. However i noticed someone in post #35 posted a link to two suggestions how to fix this problem. But both links were dead. And there was no other suggestions on how to fix this problem. Can anyone else continue to help me on this issue? PLEASE! Thanks!

leviathanticus Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 i tried all the faq tips and if it doesnt lock up it gives me an errori had the problem on a clean install with no antispyware installedi would like to play this gamecan u guys fix this game so it plays?
»SOS Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 No, we can't fix the game. You can only try to fix the computer. Trial and error is the way to go, no definite fix is known. If you tried all of that... well, try anything else as well... it could be anything. Including drivers! Perhaps some bad annoying drivers are installed with a clean install, as well, if you had the problem with a clean install.
Guest Kevin Posted April 19, 2006 Report Posted April 19, 2006 I am in the same boat I used to love this game and have played it since Beta, there is not much support out there anymore for it so everyone is kind of like oh well. The solutions are not so great either, uninstall all your protection software to play it. :\
reiser Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 I have same problem like this guys, but periodically, i mean it wont start cca once in 10 days, and i need to restart computer, then everything works normal. I still think that the problem is in the game, and i guess it is in mutex that Continuum uses to control its number of instances (mtxsscont). I didnt bothering to work around the problem, but next time when it appears, i will take a look more briefly around that mutex. reiser
X`terrania Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Continuum has no errors what-so-ever, if there is a problem then it's probably with your computer.
reiser Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 I'm sorry, but there is no software that have no bugs, how u can guarantee that it is user-side problem, and not just another bug in continuum ?
noriaki Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 The game is 11 years old... I can pretty much say with confidence that its your computer. If it is a client based problem it would probably display an error rather than just crashing without you doing anything to the client illegally... the most reasonable explanation is that the client is being "disturbed" by some other program you have installed; however, I do know that most people who have these "mysterious" problems actually do have an alternative means to run the program... First method is to run in safe mode since this will prevent all the extra crap from loading... course this pretty much will prove that its your computer's fault... This method is obviously not preferred by most people so the second alternative is to go to start>run>msconfig and remove anything thats not needed... and as most people dont know anything about how to mess with that... the easiest option is right clicking on continuum.exe and then going to run as... (!@#$%^&*uming you're an XP user as most of you are...) then hitting okay... this should allow continuum to load the process fully from a "clean slate" and tends to fix the issue (note that when you hit okay this will automatically start the process... again this note is for those who know little about computers )...
PoLiX Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 What I suggest to everyone is to try out pr3. A little after this problem aroused, that update was released, and I don't think anyone ever tried it. It was mostly to fix a prox bug for SVS zones, but it also had a few other minor compliance fixes.
Bargeld Posted April 27, 2006 Report Posted April 27, 2006 Just a couple corrections: The concept of the game is old, this build (Continuum) has only been around since 2001, and it was written from scratch, with no code ripped/shared/etc. from the original SubSpace client. Continuum39pr1 fixed the prox bug:http://www.subspacedownloads.com/history/continuum.txt In every scenario, this problem has been attributed to the local computer, not the game. Although users may claim that the game is at fault, things like customized/broken/hacked operating systems, ant-spyware/antivirus, or other local software has been the cause. Properly installed and updated drivers and operating systems will always run the game, which is why a re-install is considered the 'last resort'. But it will fix your problem, barring the above mentioned items (this includes hacked/unserialized versions of XP).
X`terrania Posted May 1, 2006 Report Posted May 1, 2006 As I was saying, it's a rather old game so most errors should be nearly adjusted.
Guest Guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 the most reasonable explanation is that the client is being "disturbed" by some other program you have installedThat would be the game's fault, not our own. The fact that it refuses to run for no good reason is not something to blame on us.
