Spring RTS Engine

just installed Spring. test script loads up map, shows a flash of the play screen and exits. SpringSP complains that it cannot find UnitSync.dll 53.
System: onboard 256MB video, 768MB Ram (1GB minus onboard video), 3.2GHz pentium 4 w/ hyperthreading, abundant hard drive space.

damn, so that just means my machine simply can't run he program?

SiS M741

whenever I run Spring, either multi or local, it will crash, almost 100% of the time. sometimes the textures and text are scrambled, sometimes all units go solid white and i get about 1 frame/2-3 sec. sometimes the program simply quits. one way or another,i ca't seem to finish a simgle game. AMD Ath...

I had to go through the same thing. Yah, just get the demo program, decomress the file, and run the executable.
AF, I'm still having the same problems w/ Spring. The program won't stop crashing/ destroying the textures. is there anything I can do?

and there you have it. The progran crashed. It simply quit to the desktop like it always does.

so i got the new AI up and running (the load screen said i was running 22) and there haven't been any crashs (yet). However, once i got into a game, the messagelog gave me one of the following messages about once every 1.5 sec.: "GlobalAI1: error in Manufacturer->UnitIdle" or "GlobalA...

well how do I run it, my PC doesn't like .rar files, or at least doesn't recognize them. Basically, it doesn't know what ot do with the installer. Also, I've been wondering why many weapons, particularl lases don't regester visually. The damagegoes through and there's ground effects, but ou can't ac...

again, back to what directory in TA Spring does it need to be put in (the AI foler is enormous).

that interesting because in my most recent crash, an error popped up sating something about the external AI ran into some sort of exemption and I should contact the AI's author (you, I believe)

ok, so it's the XE9RC19 file I need, right? What directory of TA Spring do I put the file in?

ok, I understand, but how do I upgrade to it? (I don't run linux)

That's what happens in about 85-90% of the games I run.

So what you're saying is I will never be able to sucessfully run Spring on my PC? That's just great. Would downloading this new AI help? (btw, why does it not come w/ the "latest" version of he game)

sorry, I don't usually give them so I was combining what is on the label of my laptop w/ what the system properties says. Label: DVD +/- burner Averatec 6200 series. AMD Athlon XP 2400+ w/ QuantiSpeed architecture. Microsoft Windows XP Home 512 MB DDR 60 GB hard drive wireless 802.11g 15.4" TFT...

ok, I'll try.
As a side, I noticed that laser-type weapons don't regester visually in my games, is this on purpose or is there something wrong w/ the way I'm running it? Some other weapons don't show up either, they simply impact. This looks very awkward.

I'm running an Averatec 6200 seies, if that helps (laptop). AMD Athlon XP 2400+ w/ QuantiSpeed architecture. 666 MHz. 480 MB RAM. Microsoft Windows XP Home edition w/ sp2. 512 MB DDR. 15.4" TFT screen (@ 1280 by 800 pixels). Hardware acceleration is at full. My display adapter is an SiS M741. I...

Although I really like the game, I cannot get it to stop crashing. Usually, the game simply ends. But earlier today, it malfunctioned when I initialized a game load, it froze my computer and I had to do a hard restart. Also, the visuals seem to be buggy in this version. often, they will freak out an...

ok, I went to the wiki, i found camera angels and many other interesting ideas, but not a lot of what I suggested. Terrain leveling, parasite kbot, nuke's emp, unit in-game mods, etc. Any feedback, maybe? Or am I overstepping my bounds?

oh, ok, sorry.
