Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes

[Lord Hammer]

Wow! Some comments:I have tried Turbo Mode, my wireless has been disconnected since school let out(kids ), the demo that i tried(1st one) didn't have the arrow keys implemented.
I too had thought the keys were the "key" until it started happening randomly(perhaps a delayed reaction to arrow press) in the Pirate campaigns but with McBan's input i know it's only a matter of time...hopefully [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img].
I too considered trying a game without using the key but frankly it is just too frustrating using my mouse to constantly change perspective.

Re-installed Salvo, left default settings with same results. Certain Campaigns are just un-playable...period. McBan is onto something, Sultan's Honor has worked without crashing, so i'm up to 2 playable.

I got your notes, and I expect to have a new build for you on Monday. It may be late Monday, but I’ll try…

Hi,

I've got the game two days ago, played some campaign, and in some of them the macromedia bug don't even let me play a minute. :-((((

[McBan]

Andrew, you are welcome. It felt good to "experiment" again, even if it wasn't in my field. I gave up biotech research to examine biotech patent applications at the Patent Office, and now I am applying to be a manager there. There is too much to do professionally, and too little time to spend playing Salvo! right now, unfortunately. I appreciate how fast the game plays so when I do have a little time, I can actually play a meaningful amount.

Miguel, try the fix 8 posts above and play the Edward Teach campaign, see if you still get the crashes on that campaign, or wait for the formal update that fixes all of the battles. Also, if you get crashes on non-foggy battles, then you need to post Andrew about the problem.

Miguel-

If you are experiencing the same things as are disused in this thread, then help is on the way. McBan and Lord Hammer have been instrumental in solving this problem - & I am working on making single download and install solution. You can try the stopgap for immediate results, or hold on just a few days for the official download.

If you are experiencing something other than what McBan and Lord Hammer have described – please let me know!

Hope this helps…

Any word on the official patch? Salvo is pretty much unusable without it.

[Richard]

It's got to run through test first to make sure we don't break additional items with this fix.

Xerxes:

- The update is in testing, but is not going to be available until the testers have a full Gold install from CD and then can try the update. That should not take much longer.

That 2 File fix, works like a Charm. Once, I remembered to start the Game with the 13 July Execute, that is, hehe. Thanks !
