VISTA messed up RO

[defaye]

In short, Vista is having huge troubles with RO.

my error message

Build RedOrchestra_Build_[2005-11-27_10.48]

OS: Windows NT 6.0 (Build: 6000)
CPU: AuthenticAMD Unknown processor @ 2213 MHz with 2045MB RAM
Video: No Video

General protection fault!

History: UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <- UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Free

i dont know what to do. I deleted local content and allowed it to redownload, but it doesnt start up. it started doing this when i changed the video driver in CONFIG from "direct 9.0" to "software"

now RO doesnt even start.

but what happened before was even more lame....

i did this change because in Vista , RO only ran in windowed mode.... whenever i went to config to change it to fullscreen, the game would crash. whenever i tried changing the res, the game would crash.

this lead me to my current problem when i tried changing the video driver. now i dont know how to revert my changes because the game doesnt even open. i am in a complete pickle, and have no idea what to do.

right now im extremely angry at Vista... i want to be playing my lovely game again... but i need some help with that. if possible, i request a fix for Vista, because it really is screwed with RO.

bugs ive noticed where the scenery sort of comes in and out of existence sometimes... not extreme, but slightly annoying. just doesnt work as flawlessly as it did on XP.

any help?

please dont tell me to go back to XP, or ill gut you.

Shot in the Dark here are you using X fire?? There was a known problem with X fire for some games that when u changed the graphics settings ingame it would crash.

If you are using x fire Turn X fire off then join through normall Ingame browser. Change your settings then then you can turn x fire on and it should remeber your settings.

it doesnt work at all. i was using xfire, but i figured it might be a problem, turned it off but it still didnt work when i tried to change settings. until i changed the video to software the game wont start up at all.

i keep getting error message

Did you give RO admin rights?

 

[defaye]

how can i check that it has admin rights?

 

[defaye]

i deleted redorchestra.ini and the game worked. when i tried changing res while xfire on the game stopped working.

i close xfire started again change the res and made it fullscreen as well and both worked. however, it doesnt stay fullscreen when i restart RO again, and i ahve to go through same process of configurations - fullscreen [X]

i dont know if anyone else is having this problem with vista, but i cant seem to get it to start up in fullscreen

 

[defaye]

ive checked RedOrchestra.ini for StartupFullscreen=True and that is how it is.

however in vista it still doesnt startup in fullscreen.

Try right-click the RO icon, choose Properties, and then in the Compatibility tab check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator."

Maybe some of the tipps mentioned here work for you: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2090571,00.asp

Just click on the opening screen (with the German in the city ruins) and it will open in full screen.

Also, if you click anywhere else, even once after you go to open RO, it will automatically open up in a window, as it thinks you are trying to do other things....

I have XP, and that is how I have always done it....

 

[defaye]

when i right click it "Run as administrator" is in bold.

also, when i go to compatibility - "Run this program as an administrator." is grayed out.

i have Vista Home Premium . is this a problem?

The opening window, fills up about half your screen, shows up right after steam goes to launch RO? The one that shows up before the screen with the big Tripwire logo? You don't get that?

Oh, and the XP thing was just so you know it happens in XP too.

****edit good luck!

 

[defaye]

oh i know what part you mean now sorry. i just click on that opening window?


edit: ok awesome that works, its just now that dumb problem with xfire that needs to be fixed
