Guest Redwing Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 I have a problem: Rogue Squadron will NOT start! I've analyzed the computer; no problems. The troubleshooting README file is uselss. The only thing I've majorly changed is install DirectX 8 so I could play the BfN webdemo. Every time I try to start Rs, it begins to load and then---up comes a thing saying- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library Assertion failed! Program:...OGRAM FILES\LUCASARTS\ROGUE\ROGUE SQUADRON.EXE File:D:\Scoundrel\Code\RoguePC\scr\main\data.c Line:36 Expression: resBuf !=NULL For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts [Press Retry to debug the application-JIT must be enabled] Abort Retry Ignore Retry only freezes the computer, and Ignore makes RS stay at a black screen. And I have no idea what all this stuff means. PLEASE HELP! ------------------ At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.

Guest Xizor Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 Redwing: I had (nearly) the same problem myself. I had to dump DX8 and go back to DX7a. It was a royal pain-in-a-Bantha's-butt, but DX8 was crashing about three of my favorite games, including RS. ------------------ To contend with Xizor is to lose...

Guest Rogue9 Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 Get rid of DX8 unless you have 98 se I don't think you'll get RS to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gold Squadron Leader Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 What?!?!? You actually installed DirectX 8.0! I have heard and read about so many problems with this version of DirectX on several gaming boards that I am terrified to even get near it. I have DirectX 7.0a and Win98 SE and it is very stable with all my games. So I'm sticking with it until I have a urgent need to upgrade AND I'm convinced it is just as stable. Sometimes having the latest is definitely NOT the greatest, especially when it comes to Microsoft products. ------------------ Ties are flies, swat'em!

Guest Moff_Kioet Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 YOU IDIOT!!!!!!! j/k Direct x 8.0 is glitched!!!!!!!! You should've asked us if direct x 8.0 was needed! By the way Xizor, i can see you've read Shadows of the Empire from your sig. I love that book, i've read it twice. ------------------ For the Empire!

Guest Redwing Posted March 2, 2001 Share Posted March 2, 2001 Hey! My brother screwed around with DirectX for a while (he says he uninstalled & reinstalled Rogue Squadron, and used it to install DirectX 6.1 while keeping 8.0) and RS works again! (I don't know if BfN works, I'll have to try) And I KNOW I'm an idiot. You don't have to remind me. ------------------ At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.
