Access violation in 1.00.59

Post by Klahn »

I'm getting an access violation when I click on pretty much anything. Even if I try to hit the X to close the game.

Issue occurred after I dragged the window to another monitor and back to this one.

I task-killed the app.

On reopening the app, I found there were no autosaves. Since it was a new game, there were no regular saves either.

Let me know if I can provide any other info.

Thanks!

What platform is the game installed on - Steam or Matrix standalone? Do you see this access violation only after you shift the game window to a different monitor?

A save where you're able to reproduce this would be useful.

I had it happen one more time, and then I haven't seen it since. I did remove some other software from my computer. (Dell support things.) I also updated my Razer peripheral software. So maybe something there did the trick? I'll let you know if it happens again.

I have had trouble when trying to use more than one monitor with this game. Best to keep all windows on the monitor where they opened.

I should have mentioned that too. I'm using a utility that keeps my mouse locked to the main monitor when I play RtW now.

The current engine of the game, due to its age may have unexpected interactions with such apps. We are working on an update aiming for early this year that will hopefully address this.
