Radiant starts, then crashes

Post by Sgt Stryker »

Hey, I've been having this big time MohRadiant problem: Approx. 11 seconds after I start Radiant a window pops up saying that Radiant has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. This keeps happening every time I try to start it. :?:

I have a P4 1.5Ghtz CPU, 256 Meg RAM, 16 Meg NVidia TNT2.

If I can't start Radiant I can't make maps. :!:

I have Win2K.

I can't change the prefs because it crashes right in the middle of startup. I can't do anything during that time.

Virtual Memory

Post by jv_map »

Try increasing your virtual memory. In Win2K you can do this by right clicking on 'My Computer' and then selecting properties. At the 'Advanced' tab you can click 'Performance options' and then increase the amount of virtual memory.

Also make sure you don't have any other programs running that use 3d devices when starting MOHRadiant.

The weird thing is that Radiant worked fine before this started happening and I had it on my comp for several months now. It started to not work about 2 weeks ago.

Can you give us the exact error message? That might help but I don't want to promise anything.

There is a window that pops up saying that Radiant has generated errors and will be closed. That's all it says!

Re-install

Post by jv_map »

No clue. I can only suggest re-installing. :(

Sorry I can't come to think of a nicer way out and probably it won't even work. This must be really disappointing for you I guess.
