Chronicles of riddick crashes to desktop

[Maximilian]

No idea why, i patched it to 1.1 and it still does it. Gives a message where it s somthing to do with the engine, with the send error report/dont send error report buttons.

I have an opteron 170 with an X1900XT and 3gb of DDR 3200 RAM. Opty runs at 2.5ghz and ram at 187mhz. Its crashed twice and event view says the following things:

Faulting application sbzengine.exe, version 1.0.0.1, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x1ffd361b.

Faulting application sbzengine.exe, version 1.0.0.1, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x0001eb33.

Ddi you try switching to stock speed on CPU, RAM and video card? Sometimes games aren't welcome in the OC.

 

[Maximilian]

Video cards not overclocked, but ill give the CPU a shot at stock.

 

[Maximilian]

Nope, still crashed at stock speed. 🙁

google the error message, i know i had to change something with my video card to get it going, it was like, shader 3.0 or something crashed the game so i had to force the driver back to shader 2.0 or something odd like that. i can't remember exactly what it was that had to be changed tho.

edit: i think it had to do with opengl, but it's been awhile and my memory sucks.

That makes sense as i noticed shader 3.0 isnt listed, theres 1.x 1.4 2.0 only. I could just switch back to 1.4 and see if that works. But if its a driver issue as you say it might not actually use 1.4 itll continue with 3.0.

Yea that worked, ran great with SM 1.4 and i escaped butcher bay too! w00t!
