Platamon Tanks v2 Crash at D2 12:00

Post by BadBrad »

I've encountered a problem when playing Platamon - Tanks at Platamon v2. I play as Allies and all is well until the clock reaches D2 12:00. I had a save around D2 11:23 which I've been able to re-load and make some changes with the hope that the game will run past 12:00. No luck. Any one have any ideas? I have the latest patch installed. I was liking this scenario and was hoping to play it through but alas I believe I'll have to move on.

Cheers,

Brad

Seems to have a similar report (last post). You could try compatibility modes and see if they help? Unfortunately the original poster didn't confirm this helped.

Seems to suggest a Vista problem, hopefully this has been traced and fixed for BFTB?

Thanks for the links. Looks like I'm not the first. I'm running Windows 7 not Vista. I set the Run Compatibily to XP as suggested in the thread and it runs past D2 12:00!!!! I haven't played htrough to the end but I think this would point to it being an issue with Vista. I have to say I'm suprised that Win 7 worked and Vista doesn't seem to.

Well it runs fine on our Vista boxes, but does affect certain other PCs running under Vista though. This is one of those issues that is nigh impossible to determine the precise cause. However, for BFTB we have overhauled the windows functions recommended by MS for compatibility with Vista and Win 7. So we're hoping this will do the trick, but only usage across a wide range of machines will determine this.
