INI crashes with vista

[pirodaggar]

It seems to me when I try and load a value from an INI file in a "start of level" event, the game crashes. I can set the file, group, and item just fine but as soon as I retrieve the value also it all goes to hell. The application doesn't show up at all, to be exact. I can write values fine and I can read them anytime after the first event, and strings produce the same error.

My gut instinct is to say this is because of vista, but is that true? Has anyone else had this issue?

I'm on Vista, never had this issue.

Tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times, still the same problem. I have no idea what the issue is.

If your PM to me is correct I would imagine its because your running MMF 1.5 and you need to address the security issues Vista imposes.

Vista is also picky on where you try to save your INI file.
So that could be an issue also.

I'm using the MMF2 demo, not MMF1.5 (: UAC stuff is off in vista, and accessing the ini is no problem -- just accessing a value right at the start of the frame. Running it as the second event serves no problems, and order of events seems to have no influences. My other two ideas were that it was trying to access the value before getting a group name, but trying to do all three simultaneously didn't seem to change things. My next thought was it was the object acting up, but it does this no matter how I try and access a value (regardless of its group/item).

So strange.

I think I have the solution: When I tried to load the INI, it crashed because I had a fading transition. If you check the INI to load before the frame transition that might fix it.

You have to check the box called "Create object before fade in transition" and it will work!

Thank you!! I never even considered that that was the problem. You guys are awesome
