Matrix Games Forums

Hi
Each time I right click on a unit, I have a systematic CTD with the error windows indicating an page fault caused by CrownOfGlory.exe in MFC42D.dll (this dll being installed with the game in the CoG folder).
I know I've a system that does not meet game reqs (I'm under W98SP2) but I don't think it's the problem (this MFC library is a debug C++ library 4 years old..).
Any direction on what could cause the crash ? The game is unplayable without r-click on armies, I can't organize my armies or give orders to diplomats ! Please ? [&o]
dxdiag attached.

Edit : here's the content of the error message windows
The first sentence means "page fault" :

The MFC libraries are a sort of bridge between my program and the operating system, so it very well could be an OS specific problem.

You can organize armies by inspecting provinces and re-arranging the corps/divisions on the inspection screen as a workaround, though this is not as easily done as in the attachment box.

Well, thanks Eric for the reply
I suppose the bug is tied to the other one someone noticed in the "Win98" thread, there seems to be a problem with this damned attachment box under this poor old OS . Maybe the patch changes you 're talking about for the box behavior will fix that ...
In the meantime, I'll have to play without r-clicking for my review of the game in PC4War - unless I can install XP soon enough ...[8|]

Indeed my CTD problem was program-based, patch 1.1 fixed it (more or less incidentally maybe ).
Great ! [:D]

Excellent! It's nice when bugs are fixed without having to do anything.

Thanks Eric for the great support you give ! [;)]
What are the plans for 1.2 please ? Economic interface improvements ? [8D]

There will be some changes to the econ rules and improvements to the way they are reported. May be some interface tweaks but they haven't made the final cut yet.

Fine. When I talked about interface I meant we really need some screen/table that gives sense to the production figures. I suppose the system works as intended but isn't clearly explained and is not understandable in the game..
