SHRIKEE Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 ive discovered as soon as a user has admin rights, continuum wont load. I think this works for win xp aswell:ive seen multiple posts about winxp the one account would start continuum, and another wont. (one is admin and the other is not) As of yet i have NOT found a way to start it from admin accounts, the 'with other user' function wont work for me... some error code. Please people try this and help me work this one out to run it from admin accounts!
Bargeld Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 I only have one account in XP... it has admin priveledges. Continuum has never had a problem.
»Maverick Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 same here. Its more like when a user doesn't have administrator rights.
»SOS Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 I have XP here. It has never crashed for me. Never. Therefore, Windows XP never crashes for anyone. Yes. Logical.
SHRIKEE Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Posted May 18, 2005 so then this does not apply to windows xp? it might... But for windows 2000 it sure does. Admin cant play, regular user or power user can play with no problems... I tested that on all 3 workstations i have here... 3 completely different computers that is <_< (and no im not gonna upgrade to windows xp )
»Maverick Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Then you must have seriously screwed up all the three workstations or they are custom configured, since Windows XP is based on Windows 2000. When you are full administrator you are able to play continuum, its not the other way around.
SHRIKEE Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Posted May 18, 2005 dunno whats wrong ... i might have !@#$%^&*ed up one, but not all three. (i know quite alot of windows os, been working with it for almost 10 years now. never had a problem like this) no theyre not custom. just a normal install ive got all software legal, i might reinstall one pc later this week orso to see if that works, but i dunno if it will help :S and for win2k being the base of winxp i disagree, since winxp is a completely different system. it might be based on the same kernel but thats about it... is anyone else using windows 2000?
»SOS Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Mav: don't be so stuck with prejudice But anyway, I just tested it and Admin on 2000 works fine for me.I wish there was a bigger contigent of testers... but alas... or maybe someone who has way too much time with a virtual PC to test different configurations for a few weeks straight However, I can't see how one can say XP is not based on 2000 if even MS itself says it is... <_<
SHRIKEE Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Posted May 18, 2005 SOS, true. but if its so much alike why did they make a new version then, instead of an update... theres big differences in usage and performance, not to mention hardware and software support. anyway, so far it seems to me the problem is in my computer rather than to blame continuum, reinstalls 1 workstation to check... *sigh* i hate computers although its my job to work with them! <_<
SHRIKEE Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) to get back on topic... i just "finished" installing my windows, the drivers werent installed yet. I ONLY got !@#$%^&*inuum installedand it works <_< i dunno how, now i got all drivers installed and still it will start. im now installing windows updates, after each reboot ill try continuum to see what happends, after i will do the same with the software im about to go install. Keep you updated here.... PS. some mod plz change the topic !@#$%^&*le to 'SHRIKEE is weird' or something since it might distract forum viewers this way thanks!@ [edit]Its me AV... i just installed it and now it wont run anymore... but its weird in user account i works, just not as admin... *checks for safelist to work this time* last time it didnt made a diff [edit2]safelist wont work, ive emailed the support desk of my AV for a sollution. *waiting results* Edited May 18, 2005 by SHRIKEE
»Maverick Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 what Continuum version are you trying?I hope you aren't installing that webinstaller thing or .39pr1 (both I find very odd and untrustworthy) Continuum .38
SHRIKEE Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Posted May 18, 2005 im using .38 offcoarse, .39 is way ffrom finished i heard... anyway. Its my Antivirus (Norman data defense).
»Maverick Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Antivirus? somehow I find that hard to believe too .. Odd antivirus program then if it totally blocks an online game Oh well, more people are reporting of antivirus problems. (Are they using some sort of new virus detection technique or something?) Norman Data Defense? Sounds like a firewall lol
SHRIKEE Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Posted May 18, 2005 its no firewall really....! But yea more and more av use the sandbox technology mayb thats the cause? But to be honest i rather think of a memory conflict or something, since if something is a problem to a firewall it should alert the user with a message of some sort. right? so i think it goes deeper than just a av program being nasty. Anyway, im still awaiting the reply of norman PS. Thanks for changing the topic!@#$%^&*le
SHRIKEE Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Posted May 19, 2005 i know, but i have it too, but not installed on the workstations. The only computers in my house with firewalls are my servers and the router has a firewall buildin. Norman data defense is the avNorman personal firewall is... well you know
SHRIKEE Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Posted May 20, 2005 hey guys i got a reply of Norman support service today, theyre gonna download the game and test is on several machines. Also theyre gonna think of a workaround AND/OR patch for Norman av (IF THEY CAN, this is no guarantee!!!) Personally i do not expect to much of it but still it would be awesome that it might be fixed. One thing though. Norman said, like i mentioned before; since its only continuum having this 'error' it might not be solvable by updating the av or spyware protector, and it might be the game itself whos causing !@#$%^&*! Anyway, theyre gonna look at it real quick and think of an solution *updates coming soon*
»SOS Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Well basically, the game *is* the one causing !@#$%^&* But it might be fixable by Norman so let's hope for the best.
»Maverick Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 subspace was originally made by VIE (Virgin Interactive), later it was ported to Continuum by Priitk and some others if I'm correct.
Bargeld Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 not really ported... rebuilt (from scratch) and Priitk is responsible for the majority of the client gameplay code, Ekted did the front end, and a number of people work on the server/subgame.
