Guest Redwing Posted March 1, 2001 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 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 Posted March 1, 2001 Get rid of DX8 unless you have 98 se I don't think you'll get RS to work
Guest Gold Squadron Leader Posted March 1, 2001 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 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 Moff_Kioet Posted March 2, 2001 Posted March 2, 2001 lol i said i was kidding. almost everybody knows direct x 8.0 is glitched, so i suposse that makes lucasarts an idiot instead, since all their other games run off of direct x 7.0!
Guest Redwing Posted March 2, 2001 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.
