got a problem here............

[SirFshAlot]

I've never ventured out of the domains of this forum, and the very thought gives me a panic attck.

Here's the crisis;

While trying to load a game on HeroesIII-Shadow of Death,
up comes this error message:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
Program:C:\ProgramFiles\3DO\Heroes3\Heroes3.ICD
Abnormal Program Termination


any help would be much appreciated

Try going to http://updates.zdnet.com and they'll probably give you a link to update the C++ Runtime Library Files.

 

[SirFshAlot]

that didn't fix it, but thanks AMD

anyone else out there willing to offer me any advice or solutions?

I spent hours building up my heroes through a campaign, and now it won't load the next level. I'm devastated.:|

What are the specs of your system? Is it overclocked? It could be your vid drivers...

 

[kranky]

Like Millenium said, it might be the video drivers. You might try setting up for the Standard VGA Adapter and try that. I think the ICD file is an OpenGL driver.

 

[Mill]

Yep thats exactly what I was thinking... if you are using beta drivers, then try your old ones. If not update your drivers.

 

[SirFshAlot]

K6-2 400 @400
Asus mb, can't remember the model
Voodoo3 3000
192mb RAM

the thing is, I have played this particular game before all the way through a few months ago without any problems, why would it develop this now? I can't think of any hardware or driver changes during that time. I haven't done any upgrades since I put the V3 3000 in last winter.

Maybe I should take this to another forum, but I'm not sure where to even start. I wonder how many people even play this game anymore.

 

[SirFshAlot]

beta drivers???

ok, I'm an idiot

would I go to 3dfx for an update?

 

[Mill]

yeah... also there are a lot of 3dfx related internet sites that leak drivers.

 

[Mday]

have you tried reinstalling the game...

 

[SirFshAlot]

good idea, Mday, I will save my games in a new folder and try that, too
Thanks all for the direction

 

[warlord]

if you are going to take it to another forum try either techsupport or software.

just my $.02

 

[SirFshAlot]

uhhh, reinstalling didn't work

maybe I should go back to DukeNukem

 

[Mday]

try reinstalling the OS.

 

[Mday]

if that does not work, get a new computer...

 

[AMDJunkie]

Do you have the newest version of the game? Look for game patches that might fix your problem.

 

[SirFshAlot]

tried the game patch, too

I think the saved game must have acquired some bug
