Immediate Crash on Load

[spikee1234]

When running the TTDPatch I immediately crash out when I get to the menu. Attaching crash log - any suggestions? Coming back to TT after forever and anxious to play again!

I am running in XP SP3 mode - looked for other fixes but didn't see anything that matched.

I could, I suppose, go check out the source to and build beta 9, but chances are that the answer would be "it's fixed in the nightlies." So, I recommend you download the latest TTDPatch nightly.

If that's out of the question, or still crashes, please post the new crashlog, if a nightly, and your ttdpatch.cfg.

Downloaded the nightly - my bad, thought I had grabbed the latest, obviously I had not.

Still getting the crash once you click to the main menu. Crashlog and cfg file attached. I'm def not skilled at these kinds of things - really appreciate the help!

No problem; the nightlies are well-hidden.

You'll have to turn at least the win2k switch on (edit ttdpatch.cfg in notepad); I would personally turn on basically everything; this can be done pretty easily by adding the lines

Code: Select all

all on
writecfg ttdpatch.cfg

at the end, but if you're going for classic TTD, you don't want this.

If you do this, TTDPatch may whine about not having ttdpbasew.grf. Create a newgrf subfolder in your TTD install and put that file there.
