Spring RTS Engine

OK my friends got this problem

He can start a game in single player it loads up fine but when he presses enter.. it just crashes

so we tried a multiplayer game and it loads up the units and gets to where the commander appears and then it crashes...

he has got
XP SP2
3.2ghz amd 64bit
BFG geforce 6800 GT OC

He has just done a format on his pc...

does spring require the .Net framework still

Computer crashes? or spring?

What script?

Any other custom things installed in Spring?

Its spring that crashes and he uses the commanders script

But it even did it multiplayer

multiplayer uses the Commander script. :)

He has tried reinstalling spring ... updated all his drivers still the same thing happens

Get him to try this, open the settings program turn all the features down or off, then if Spring loads start turning them back up one by one.

Its still crashing

He says he can load up everything fine and fly around the map while it is waiting for connections... but when he presses enter it crashes (this is in single player btw)

I've just uninstalled, deleted the folder and installed it again. Now when I press enter it crashes and gives me an error message:

pretty sure thats the crash i got without net1.1 framework. go to microsoft homepage and dl 'net 1.1 framework' and see if u still crash

Got the net1.1 framework, still crashes but I didn't get the error message again.

I checked crash report, here's what all the things say:
Infolog.txt:

interesting...
good PC + graphics card, windows XP...yet not even singleplayer works
1. put all options in 'settings' (in ur spring dir) off or lowest, try again
2. dl latest graphics card drivers (i think u need the forceware from nvidia.com for a FX, thats where i got mine from) repeat 1.
if that doesn't work, court martial ur PC for not having spring work and sentence it to DEATH, by BSOD :D:D:D:D...no seriously! and for the crime of being better than my PC

1.Tried it, no change.

2. I can't use the latest graphics drivers including any of the 7x.xx series, I get 0.03fps in all games with the latest.

I get around 100 fps in all games at 1024x768 with 8xas and 4aa, with these drivers 67.03 which I'm currently using.

i think ur graphics card is making spring feel inadequate someone who knows what they are talking bout please give this guy some advice!

Geos dont appear until after you press enter, try a map without any. It isnt a solution but it may give us a clue.

Geos has nothing to do with it as it occurs on every map.

I just tried every single script for single player. I found one that doesn't crash when I press enter and it's called:
Empty Script.

Maybe while downloading one of the files got corrupt or something... maybe try downloading it again

Just tried that, problem still persists.

Eh, I guess I'm just jinxed

Well this'll most probably be the problem anyway. Unlucky.
