major problem after JUST purchasing.. Unhandled exception

[Malakie]

I have just purchased the game. On running I get an immediate dialog requester with the following CTD information:

* and before someone chimes in and says to check drivers, dx etc etc.. they are all up to date and current. I have ALSO verified files, redownloaded twice AND logged out and back in to steam.

Error dialog is as follows:

Unhandled Exception

Program: ...... carrier.exe
Reason: Access Violation, Illegal Read by 1018eb74 at 18

[enf::TiXmlNode::FirstChild]: ??? addr:0x1018eb74
[enf::TiXmlNode::FirstChild]: ??? addr:0x1018eb74

(press retry to debug application - JIT must be enabled)


Would love to play this Amiga classic... but cannot for this reason.

Do you have an Intel HD 4/3000 GPU?

[Malakie]

Nope I have:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770S CPU @ 3.10GHz, 3101 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) on a Asus Sabertooth Mainboard, 16gb ram, 10 terabytes HD space

is there a fix for this card: Intel HD 4/3000 GPU?

[Malakie]

No fix. I have been talking to the devs also and no go for those of us with this major problem. Even steam is blowing me off in conversation about this issue.

[Accelerant]

Then i would love a **refund**.. the game is unplayable at this point

This thread is almost 2 years old. What is the problem you are experiencing?

[Malakie]

SOLUTION to the problem I had...

I guess I could update this since I started it... I fixed the problem by moving the entire game to the C: drive Steam folder. I was trying to install on an external drive and apparently for some reason the game had problems with that.. Once I moved it to the C: drive steam folder (I had to make one), it worked perfectly..

It is an excellent game btw...
