Application error on startup screen

Ivan · Post by **Ivan** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 12:21 pm

Hi,

I just installed Oolite for the first time (v1.65, Dell laptop, Windows 2000, ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000). It starts up in an 800x600 window on my 1280x1024 desktop and shows the rotating Cobra, but when I press Y or N to load/not load a new commander, it crashes with "The exception Floating-point stack check
0xc0000092 occurred in the application at location 0x00495c81"

(FWIW I've used SDL myself on this computer, albeit a 2 year old version.)

stderr.txt is below (with URLs munged as this is my first post).

Googling for OPENGL_DEBUG GL_ERROR (1280) brings up a couple of similar posts but I'm not sure how relevant they are to this problem. I haven't tried tweaking anything as I'm not sure what I would tweak at this early stage.

Any comments much appreciated,
Ivan

The OpenGL error is not related to the crash. I don’t know what is, though…

I found and fixed the problem, which I'll name here in case it helps anyone in the future. I use a keyboard shortcut utility called Keys+ (http://www.szp-software.com/) which is superb but crashes Oolite. Closing it stops the crash. Now I just have to say that Oolite looks fantastic and I can't wait to give it a proper test run!

Keywords: oolite crash crashes keypress keys+ keyboard shortcut application error exception Floating-point stack check

That’s a strange error for a keyboard utility to generate. Have you reported it to the author of Keys+?

Good idea, I should do that. Oddly it also crashes some Java apps, so it does seem a bit buggy.

Made my first run since the BBC days from Lave to Zaonce last night with a mighty one kill on the way. There goes my free time for the next few months...
