I just had<BR>> someone else check it using Mike's version, and it did indeed crash.<BR>> Suspicious, I tried DOSBOX, but that didn't work either.<BR>> <BR>> Tracking the problem, I found that it hangs on any GOSUB call in<BR>> battle() - it never actually gets to the GOSUB code. I suspected a<BR>> stack overflow (due to new features, an extra variable here and<BR>> there?), increased the size of the stack a few hunderd bytes (far too<BR>> much, I suppose? I didn't experiment), and now everything works -<BR>> until you try to quit game.exe, then it appears to quit normally but<BR>> leads to a black screen with
a blinking cursor. A result of increasing<BR>> the stack?<BR>> <BR>> TMC<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> On 5/18/05, Bob the Hamster <BOB@HAMSTERREPUBLIC.COM>wrote:<BR>> > On Tue, May 17, 2005 at 08:12:32AM -0700, Bob the Hamster wrote:<BR>> > > On Tue, May 17, 2005 at 12:38:07PM +1200, TeeEmCee wrote:<BR>> > > > I'm running Win XP, and thus have 618kb of free memory.<BR>> > > ><BR>> > > > The screen simply fades out, and crashes in whichever way it chooses to.<BR>> > ><BR>> > > Okay, well, it's definitely not a memory problem then.

<P>I have XP, I'll check and see if I can reproduce the crash. It sounds like someone coded in something that XP dosent like. </P>
<P>Also, can someone point me to the WIPs in question?</P></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><BR><DIV>
