[Error] Game crashes as soon as map loads up

[Von_Torres]

Hello,
As soon as I join a server and select my character class, RO crashes 2 or 3 seconds after I start playing. I am not sure what to do, I was able RO before for a very long time, now its not working. This is the error message:

I had a similar problem loading a new RO map so I could not play that map. I solved the problem when I found a link which described a similar problem and solved it by turning off precashing in the redorchestra.ini file. (it looks like a notepad icon with a 'cog' in the RO system folder) Open the file and scroll down until you find lines that look like [ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem] then under that subheading change precache=true to precache=false.
the other headings I changed to 'false' are:
[Engine.Levelinfo]
[Engine.NullRenderdevice]
[D3DDrv.D3Drenderdevice]
[D3D9Drv.D3D9renderdevice]
[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
[PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice]

what keelhaul said, if that doesnt work try a reinstall of the game, it often happens with corrupt data as well. (only deleting the system folder and verifying might work as well).

Where would the .ini file be in Steam? Can't find it in the Steam folder anywhere?

I couldn't find this precache item in any of the .ini's I dug through in the documents folder or the steam RO game folder

I have the same problem.

Game crashes when new map loads up. Then the little soldier at the bottom right of the screen just stops running and the game crashes.

The "running soldier" to me indicates you are talking about RO2 (not RO1, whose forums we appear to be in). Try there [url]http://www.heroesofstalingrad.com/[/URL] TWB*SlowBull
