Apparently MO has been crashing at a new place
Splinterz, the 2nd Boiler. |

EDIT: Definitely not a one-off. |
I cant play Stranger's Wrath in full screen mode. I have a Radeon HD4890.
EDIT: I tried this: Edit config.txt: width=1920 height=1080 resolution=custom Its fullscreen now, but it has been flattened. Is this how it was supposed to be, or it should be 16:9 without any distortions? |

An update on the yet-to-be-released Stranger's Wrath patch from the Steam forums:

The keyboard doesn't really affect me much, there aren't a lot of controls and they have the standard fps controls with little variation.
What bugs me is the crappy fps camera and the frame rate. Damn this game. |
A couple things I noticed...
I'm using a wired 360 controller (new) and whenever I try to sneak, it's very hard to find the right spot when moving the thumbstick. I end up walking which wakes up sleeping sligs. Is anybody else having difficulty with this? Also, I'm not sure if this was the case on the Xbox version, but pop-in is really noticeable even despite the thick fog. Spooce in particular are constantly appearing out of nowhere instead of gradually fading in the fog. Similarly, some structures start to erase unnaturally before the fog can obscure them properly. |
:
I wouldn't worry about it much, though - sneaking is basically useless in-game. Also did I mention the Stranger patch has a projected timeframe of "within seven days" as of Friday? Because it's true. |

Stranger not working..
Well, every game expect Stranges Wrath it working..
I get errort that says "Application Load Error 405693<- Some number for example) :nonono: Im tried everything and NOTHING WORKS :banghead: |
That has got to be corrupted game files.
|
When I try to launch AE in Steam, the Launching... window finishes but the game doesn't appear. Exoddus.exe is running, but I can't end the process. I verified the game cache and disabled any background processes I thought might be intefering, but I can't be sure.
Any help would be much appreciated. |

7 launches rundll32 in the background whenever you try to run an old game to attempt to gather cover box information for the crappy games explorer. The problem is, it's badly programmed, and they still haven't fixed it (to my knowledge). Basically, if your internet is turned off, it will start the process when you start the game, the game won't start, you'll be forced to end the game's process and start the game again, and the rundll32 process will keep munching on cpu until it grabs 100% cpu usage. The only current fix is to start the game, end the game's process, start it again, alt tab and then end the rundll32 process. I hope it helped. |
I don't have #7, but my system does have a couple of rundl32's running. I'll try it later and check. Thanks.
|
Then beware, at least 1 of those rundll32's is probably a virus.
|
Don't be silly, keeperxiii. Windows often has multiple rundll32's running.
|
Ugh, I am so sick of arguing on the Steam forums. If anyone from JAW is reading this, please get the SW patch out soon.
That said, I was talking to a certain someone there (via PM), and I'm pretty hopeful we'll be seeing it soon. |

And rundll32.dll is very commonly used by viruses. The generic name "rundll32.dll" might tip you off that this could be anything being used by any program ;). It's like this: Rundll32.dll is a generic name for a .dll running in the background, thus, it's very commonly used by viruses. It's quite simple actually. |
Didn't work, I'm afraid. Anything else, anyone?
|
You're using win xp, right?
Have you already checked the integrity of the game's files with steam? Have you tried to remove the game and download it again? Can you post a pic of all your processes when you start the game? |

I'm on XP, this is my second install of AE Steam version, I have a perfectly functional CD version, verified cache integrity twice, defragmented the game files, and my PC setup's been the same for months. I don't recall installing anything that would affect this, and all my other Steam games work fine.

Anyway, just coming in to say that it looks like the Stranger's Wrath patch will be out today: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...68&postcount=2 :
