DWWIN.exe - DLL Initialization Failed - The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down. I have been doing some more investigation into this as I also believed it was slowing my computer down, specifically my internet upload/download speeds, although I cannot confirm...

I now have this one pretty much nailed in terms of Save games before the fact and after, if they help. 90% it happens when I do this: Fly to Sun - with dust then - H to Witch space once fuel filled - no dock. Fly to Station - no dust I really hope this helps... let me know if anything else is needed.

I think dwwin is dr watson, a kind of windows error handler. I think you have a windows problem rather than an oolite one, what windows are you rinning, and what if anything is in the event log? I really don't want to raise it here if it is nothing to do with Oolite. I am on Windows XP SP2. The onl...

DWWIN

Please delete this thread if not applicable.. Since I restarted playing Oolite a couple of weeks ago (1.65 and then 1.74.2 only in the last 5 days or so), I have noticed that if I have been playing for a couple of hours, when I shut down the computer, I get a Windows Pop-up message saying that DWWIN...

Hi, This is the Pastebin save from a couple of days ago that I couldn't post due to my being too young (on the forums :D ) Saved after Dust missing btw, I can see the effect of dust passing even when I am flying directely at the sun and it fills my entire screen, the effect is the negative of dust o...

...the problem can occur when I'm flying towards the sun ... It really isn't a big deal but if it is a bug I'd like to help squash it... My son had this a short while ago, whilst flying to the sun, to refuel, before immediately jumping out of the system. Graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT a...

Let me restate my understanding of what you are reporting. Take off with 35t cargo + misc "lightweight goods" Lose 2, to have 33t reported - Correct Scoop one canister (taking you to 34t whatever it contains, even if its something "lightweight" like gems) - Correct Now unable to...

I can't post a link to the Pastebin until I am 5 days old, so that will have to wait for a couple of days, sorry. Unless my memory is totally shot, this is expected behaviour. When scoped, precious metals will occupy a slot in your cargo hold until you dock, whereupon it will be transferred to your ...

I was very hopeful, the changes seemed to work for a few (I have been playing for about 4hrs!) hours.. and just now it has happened again :( Here is the log (after it happened and I docked) : [log.header]: Opening log for Oolite version 1.74.2 (x86-32 test release) under Windows at 2010-09-27 21:16:...

… occasionly, there are some patches of some systems that have no space dust, hence no sense of movement… they can come and go quite suddenly. Maybe that is what you are experiencing. I have no knowledge of this, the only thing I can say with certainty is that I can have the Torus Drive active and ...

Good evening. Perhaps this should be a new thread now as the experience has nothing to do with disappearing text anymore? I have had the opportunity to play for a few hours today, using version 1.74.2-test and I can give a much more precise observation of what is happening to me but I have no idea w...

I have reinstalled 1.74.2 in another Games partition on a different disk and copied the saves across to it. Tomorrow I will play some on the 1.74 to see what happens and report it back here. I presume there are no registry complications and so I can still play the 1.65 from a different shortcut? Reg...

I did try some other keys but none were working. This seems quite unusual. Are you saying that all keys that you tried after injectors and torus jump had stopped responding, i.e. game control was lost? Can you please post the save file you used when you encountered this? To be honest, I cannot reme...

The torus jump works fine in all cases (as long as there is no mass-lock, of course), as far as I can see. This is actually the first time we get a report about it not being functional. OlderGamer: One thing you may want to confirm is the zoom factor of the scanner. If you were zoomed in to 2x or 3...
