Can't start a new campaign.

[Zio]

I just downloaded this and when ever I choose to start a new campaign or click a tutorial it immediately closes down. (EDIT: Same goes for skirmish)

I'm using 2.3 and Vista but unfortunately I fail with computers so I have absolutely no clue what other information would be helpful. Any help would be appretiated and Ill be poking back here frequently while playing X-Com on dosbox.

I got the same problem.

Downloaded the latest version (2.3). using Win XP SP3 with the latest updates.

Game crases whenever i want to change any of the video settings or when starting a new campain. I managed to copy this out of the console while watching the introduction movie from new campain.

Hello everyone!

I have the exact same issue with the exact same error message. I downloaded the game from the Indiedb platform. Any help?

thanks in advance

[thebardofblasphemy]

hmmm i've got the same issue, same error report (no map fitting craft_ufo_harvester applied to several cities) which results in the game crashing whenever I try to launch any kind of mission (campaign/skirmish)

I've tried searching the forum but haven't come across any fix although a couple of people seem to have the same issue.

I'm trying to run the stable version, 2.3, downloaded off sourceforge today.
OS = XP
Graphics = ATI Radeon X1700
Driver version = 8.282.0.0

dunno if any other info would help... please help I loved this game when I was growing up I'm very keen to have another go!

Ahhhh... in true "have a go first, read destructions later" I've just read that reporting bugs on the stable versions is considered poor-form... sorry!!!!

[Mattn]

this looks like a segfault (because there is no other error in the ufoconsole.log) - so we need a backtrace - see the debugging section of the wiki to get info on how to create this.

[thebardofblasphemy]

It pains me to admit my n00b-ness but after going over the wiki files regarding compiling & debugging I have got no idea how to accomplish that task.

So, am I right in thinking that to create a backtrace I will need to compile the source-code from scratch? That may be beyond my skills at this point

@Mattn

Did you update the installer?

[Mattn]

@Muton: which installer?
