About the latest version of the game

i downloaded the game and the patch....it just gives me this message

Land before time online v0.249 server test.exe has stopped working
a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will notify you if a solution is available.

it says the same thing when you try to start the other exe (LBT rpg v0.2492)

is the reason why it's not working because i have windows 7???

No, I don't think so, because I'm running Windows XP (SP2), and I have the same problem.

I'm honestly not sure why your games have been crashing on you. This has never been a problem before in previous releases. I have one theory, but it seems very odd.

Anyway, your Operating System should not matter. I'm programming the game on a Windows 7 computer (64-bit) these days and it runs just fine on that, as well as my older XP laptop.

What is the last thing you're seeing on your screens before the game crashes? Does it start up at all? Do you get a some message about checking server connection?

as soon as i open it says blah blah blah is not responding then that closes then it shows the error message

2007excalibur2007 · **Reply #845 on:** June 26, 2010, 11:29:24 PM

Mine says the same thing, XP style:
"This program has encountered an error and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (bla bla bla bla bla...)"

That happened as soon as I tried running it.

With which program do you people unzip the files? It may be because it did not unpack all the files correctly.

Hi I've read through your releases. What can you get it to work since the RPG? akion 9000 or can not do everything in one folder so that one online play and play alone in a folder. Then, facing south, perhaps no problem. W‰hre goes well when greeting Guido

I used 7zip (it supports ZIP files). Perhaps I should try using WinRAR and see if that helps.

EDIT: Nope, still not working.

Mumbling · **Reply #849 on:** June 27, 2010, 02:13:44 PM

Odd, it works for me in Winrar.

When you are done unpacking, do you have these files?

2007excalibur2007 · **Reply #850 on:** June 27, 2010, 03:14:10 PM

Wait a minute... I'm supposed to have v0.24? I thought it was v0.2492?

EDIT: Nevermind, I tried downloading v0.24 - neither version works (for me, at least).

Mumbling · **Reply #851 on:** June 27, 2010, 03:47:50 PM

Err lol, that's a mistake on my end. Yes you should have the 0.2492 version.

Did version 0.23 work for you? Can you mention the specs of your computer?

Here a link to version 0.23 in case you have not tried that one before... http://www.mediafire.com/?ytkjzto5ndz

metadude1234 · **Reply #852 on:** June 27, 2010, 08:15:28 PM

says v0.23 is corrupt and v0.24 won't run at all anymore...stupid win 7 updates... <_<

2007excalibur2007 · **Reply #853 on:** June 27, 2010, 10:28:10 PM

Yeah, v0.23 is corrupt. Can't extract.

Here's my specs btw:

ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chipset
Intel Pentium 4 505 @ 3.20GHz
ATI Radeon X300, 256MB VRAM
2GB DDR1-400 RAM
250GB 7200rpm HDD
Windows XP Professional SP2

(yeah, go ahead and laugh at my crap old PC

)

I already have all the latest drivers installed. I used to be able to run the game no probs, but it seems it's this version I have issues with.

metadude1234 · **Reply #854 on:** June 28, 2010, 12:05:47 AM

that's not crappy, it's better than my desktop by miles...

Mumbling · **Reply #855 on:** June 28, 2010, 02:03:49 AM

Okay well your computer is about 4 times better than mine, and you got about the same video card so it should in fact work... Version 0.23 corrupt? That's odd.

Metadude, it's not because of windows 7. Tim programs in windows 7 (and tests in windows 7) and I can play it fine on my brother's laptop with windows 7 as well.

Okay, I just tested v 0.23 and it said the zip file was corrupt indeed. (Sorry, should have checked that out first)... And it seems Austin's server is not working so I cant provide you with the 'correct' version (which should be on there)...

Mumbling · **Reply #856 on:** June 28, 2010, 06:07:16 AM

Ok, I got version 0.23 here which is not corrupt.

downloading now

Okay, this is just weird. I totally remember having this version before. It usually works, but now it crashes just the same. :blink:

Mumbling · **Reply #859 on:** June 28, 2010, 08:11:39 AM

I'd say it's related to your computer then, but honestly I don't understand why 2 of you have that issue. If it were just one person it'd make more sense.
