Game crashes on creating new game

[ThMey]

Hallo,
first of all i have to say: Thank you already for this project! I was so happy when i found about the possibility to play one of my favorite games ever. Unfortunately i don't get the game running.
The game itself starts properly. I can chose "new game", set the parameters, chose a fraction and click Start game. The Intro Video plays like in the good old days followed by the screen "Datentransfer" (german Version) and then the game crashes and disapears without me seeing the galaxy.

What i already tried:
- checked the windows scale settings, supported resolutions and if directplay is activated. -> no problems there.
- MD5 checksum are ok. uninstalled everything, reinstalled. Same behavior.
- No difference if i use fullscreen or windowed mode.
These are the two windows error reports i get with one attempt to start a game:

I really hope someone can help me with this because i really want to play the game.
Thank you very much in advance!!

Hi welcome to forum,

from your windows log it looks like you are using 2.0.2 beta?
but if you are checking MD5 it sounds like you are using 2.0.0

so it is important to know what version you have installed.

Note; Dxwnd GUI can not be used with dxwnd proxy.

my first question, have you ever had BOTF running on your current system?

[ThMey]

Hi,
thanks for the quick response!
I'm using the 2.0.0
I never had the All in One Package running. It is possible that i had an old Version with a patch or something running. But i'm not sure, it also could be on an older system.
Sorry for the dumb question but: what exactly is dxwnd proxy? If without knowing i didn't used it.

[thunderchero]

I suggest you try the latest beta version
viewtopic.php?p=58537#p58537

the DxWnd proxy files were introduced during this beta testing
for more info on Dxwnd proxy see this topic

I uninstalled everything, downloaded the Beta, tried it first with the dxwnd option -> the result was exactly the same (crash on loading screen for the new galaxy). The only difference was this warning when opening dxwnd: No write capability on dxwnd.ini file. Warning: can't save your configuration.

Then i deleted everything again and tried it with the proxy fullscreen setting. Exactly the same result: crash at the same moment. No warning message this time though. I really don't know what's wrong here.
The Windows error logfile has changed and refers to an new module:

Name der fehlerhaften Anwendung: trek.exe, Version: 0.0.0.0, Zeitstempel: 0x37965563

I don't know if this helps, but i read in the forum from a error message which was pretty much like my first one
viewtopic.php?f=303&t=3789&start=15
It also seemed like a tough to solve error and in the end something you sended helped.
I hope i have the same luck.
Thanks again for taking care!

you can request MPR++ here

The only difference was this warning when opening dxwnd: No write capability on dxwnd.ini file. Warning: can't save your configuration.

That might be by resticted "program files" folder access if not installed to C:\botf or some other unrestricted place. Or it is restricted by some anti-virus sandboxing or the like. But from the crash report it is unrelated.

The Windows error logfile has changed and refers to an new module:
...
Pfad des fehlerhaften Moduls: igdumdim32.dll

The intel HD graphics dum dim driver crashed, what a name!

Best check whether you can update your graphic drivers. But chance is they removed support for some older render feature. That case mpr++ might indeed help. I'll send you the link.
