MonGooSe Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I am having the "escape key crash" described in the other forum for WoV. I did everything in the other thread that said to do all the way to the bottom where I was directed to the general discussion. My system information: ------------------ System Information ------------------ Windows Vista Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1 BIOS: BIOS Date: 02/14/08 Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz DirectX Version: DirectX 10 Radeon HD 2400 XT Display Memory: 2034 MB Current Mode: 1440 x 900 (32 bit) (75Hz) My other computer went feet up, and have had this one a few days. Thanks. GooSe Quote
ONETINSOLDIER Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Pardon me while I think outloud, but, lets see here, pressing the escape key initiates a "controled crash" of the current application, correct? So, when you press the escape key, nothing happens, or is it doing what its supposed to do, but a bit over zealously by causing the application to just disappear without being able to save the current state of said application? Hmmm, (please dont yell at me for this unproductive waste of bandwidth, mr moderator) :) Oh, and I think I see the problem now, your computer has too many processors!!! heehee Quote
Wrench Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Nah, you can never have too many processors (kinda like horsepower...never enough) His problem is Vista. Mongoose, you need to disable the terrain shader effects in the terrain's data ini Extract the XX_terraindata.ini using the cat extractor tool, off somewhere in the d/lds section and follow the instructions here: Look for the 2 sections below.... [NormalTextureMaterial]UseEffectShader=TRUE <---This one EffectShaderName=TerrainEffect.fx DepthBufferCheck=TRUE -snip- [WaterTextureMaterial] UseEffectShader=TRUE <---and this one EffectShaderName=WaterEffect.fx DepthBufferCheck=TRUE change the UseEffectShader= to read FALSE. Quick and simple fix. There's more about it in the Knowledge Base, here... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=26451 Wrench kevin stein Quote
