[Spring 91.0] Start Bug BA

[AntiAllez]

Sometimes BA cant start on Autohost. Springlobby shows me that iam ingame and i cant restart without to close springlobby and restart it too. what is wrong?

Ive got this messages from my OS(Win7)

[Forboding Angel]

needs moar infolog.txt

[Silentwings]

This bug is not caused by BA afaik, I think its engine/lobby. I get it too sometimes.

There is no infolog because when it happens spring crashes literally the moment it tries to load- before it even starts writing infolog.

@AntiAllez:

please attach infolog.txt without its hard to help.

[klapmongool]

I get these too sometimes. Not completely random though, seems I get them only the first time I play after starting the pc. But not always. Will try to think of copying infolog when it happens again.

the only way is to use the normal spring.exe. with multithreaded.exe i cant start any more games. i installled it new on this os without results. on a clean(without any spring files before) os it runs for a while but after some games the same problems...

Please read what other people told you to do (i.e attach the infolog).

Looks like bad GFX driver. You can workaround it with
MultiThreadShareLists = 0
in your spring settings, but some widgets/gadgets may fail.

seems as if it works

thx alot

[AntiAllez]

I cannot really imagine that this problem is caused by my graphics driver. With Win XP I did not have these strange messages. After i reinstalled Spring, the Springlobby starts only time delay. Online games also need some half a minute to start.


I dont understand for example why Spring applies a folder named "My Games" under my Windows Documents folder? After the uninstall I deleted this folder manually. After a few rounds of play and changes of the game settings there is now a new map folder in this path. Suddenly I had no more maps available at Springlobby and had to copy all the maps from the installation path ... thats not new, Win XP make this too, but without this crazy anomalies.

This game is driving me insane!

what you can tell me about this?

Delete spring from your program files (x86) folder. Always worked for me.

If it does not, you could also delete Spring in My Games and delete the springsettings.cfg in Documents and Settings\XXX\Local Settings\Application data. Then reinstall Spring.

-> broken installation

its already under another folder...

ok, i deleted spring under my games, springsettings.cfg and any springfiles on XXX\AppData\Roaming and \Local

then i reinstalled spring with a new file from springrts.com

same dysfunction than before


i will try to play with singlespring.exe dunno

[knorke]

if you do no want folders randomly created everywhere you can also portable install. (see download page, instead of installer it is just a zip file to unpack to some place and spring will mostly stay in there)

[AntiAllez]

portable supports multicore? seems not so- i can switch to multithreaded.exe but springlobby cant save it...

[zerver]

Then just rename spring-multithreaded.exe to spring.exe

[AntiAllez]

thx- mt version runs now but all errors are back

[zerver]

What errors? For portable U need springsettings.cfg in the install directory with
MultiThreadShareLists = 0
