AAAhhhhh, there are people playing atm (5 of them) and I still crashed

Life sucks!

Not a 'Crash' but certainly a bug!

Running on Windows 8 CP atm (thought I'd se if I can run Scorch on this as my 7 stopping my fun).

The first round ... everything fine.

Next round, I noticed in the buy phase that I couldn't see my tank, although it was marked on the minimap. once I'd done the buy bit ... no aiming reticle. Quite annoying.

And now in the 3rd round, got the same problem.

Possibly a Windows 8 thing, it's pretty crap (WHQL Nvidia drivers for windows , but

After gettting soo close to finishing the stat series in 1st, now I can't even play properly

My life sux!

Yeah, noticed this on my laptop... restart seemed to fix it, but i only played a couple rounds. Thought it was my gfx card dying.

Ok peanuts (and others).

I've made a debug version of the client so we can debug your issues. Sorry it took so long was trying to figure out the best way to do it. Here is a zip file that contains a debug version of the client, and a registry setting file for windows.

If you double click on the crashDump.reg file (registry settings file) it will tell windows to create small dump files for programs that crash. I can use these dump files to see why its crashing on your machine. The dump files are created in c:\windows\temp (you'll need to edit the crashDump.reg file if windows is in a different location).

So the idea is this:
1) use the crashDump.reg file.
2) Copy the new scorchedc.exe binary in place of the existing binary
3) run scorched3d as normal (the titile of the client will now say debug) (it may run slower using this debug version)
4) If scorched3d crashes
5) there should be a dump file in the c:\windows\temp directory which you can zip and send to me.

Let me know how you get on, if this works it could save us a whole bunch of time (and fix a whole load of bugs).

Scorched cannot run because MSVCP100D.dll is missing.

From what I've seen, this is because of C++ not being installed. However it is installed on this system (x86 and x64) due to a requirement of some other software i've recently installed.

Thanks for the new report, here is another debug version see how you get on with that.

Hi again. Another crash after loading AWE mod (just during first "tada" sounds)...

Good news and bad.

Was able to play a full game against bots in newb server, but there's still a massive bug.
I'm unable to remember to turn chutes on or shields! Can you resolve that too please

This is a mod-file error, not an engine error. It appears that AW has triggered an error
that i came across while redoing Swars.

After respecifying all his tank models to match one of his 3 Types of tank, He was left
with one "TankType" unassigned. The 'none' type.

AW.
If you wish to proceed with this sorting method similar to Swars, you will either have
to make one default tank not assigned to a 'Type', or comment out the tanktype 'none'.

eg.

<tanktypes>
<!-- <tanktype>
<name>none</name>
<description>The Common Man among us.</description>
<life>100</life>
<power>1000</power>
</tanktype>
-->


Players..
This is a returning feature seldom used in average mods. It was first seen in
Operation Scorched when Bobirov created 4 types of soldier classes to choose from.

There is one minor thing to take note of when playing these sorted tank styles of Mod.
At first, you may see a BLANK list of tanks to choose from besides the possible 'Random'
icon.

Players Must choose one of the tank Classes or Types from the far Right selector.
After choosing one of the Classes, the list will populate with a group of tanks filling
that requirement.
Do not be alarmed when no tanks appear. Do not run away from the mod
thinking it's broken.. This is not a Bug... it's a Feature.

I get kicked back to main menu during game quite often. No error message.
