Fatal error 772

[Marc von Martial]

"772" error problem on WinME and Win98 is located. We will have a fix for the few customers (not all WinMe and Win98 systems suffer from this) facing this soon. The download version to be released later this week will not have this problem anymore.

Thank You.[:)]

I just completed the DD and install, which seemed to go smoothly. Unfortunately I am getting the Fatal Error 772 message on the loading screen. I tried turning down sound hardware acceleration, and renaming the sound folder, to no avail.

Windows ME
Atlhon 1.1 ghz
256mb RAM
Geforce2 64mb
SBLive!
DirectX 9.0b

Based on the preceeding messages concerning this problem I was under the impression it would be fixed in the DD version. Any help/fix would be greatly appreciated!

Guys,

The fix we implemented fixed it on the computer we had here that could duplicate it. We spoke with the installer/serial number vendor and they concurred. When it appeared fixed, we went with the release. Obviously, there are still some instances where the fix was not good enough. This is extremely dissappointing for us, just as it is for you. We're working on a fix now, if we can't find the exact cause we're pretty sure of a "brute force" approach that we can have online later tonight (hopefully) without going back to the installer folks.

Regards,

- Erik

I have the same problem as the others on this thread. 772 error.

I just emailed support my DXDIAG files. My system passed all tests.
Reenaming the sound directory also did nothing.

I am running WinME
1.0 gig Athalon with 512Mb memory
Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti4200 video
Hercules Fortissimo II soundcard
DX 9.0b

Hopefully your fix, brute force or otherwise, will be able to get me playing for the weekend.
Thx,
Don

Fatal error 772 [:(]

Hope you guys will fix it soon

Thanks

Yeah thats something we can all rely on - they will fix this as a priority. Theres not many companies who even bother to in the first place. Paradox does as well but I used to work for a couple of really big name games companies as a tester and their attitude after a game was released was and still is shocking.
