Experiencing crashes when some people run my game

[Qvazzler]

Hello everyone.

I am building a game consisting of a huge amount of spread values, fastloops and a dozen string parser objects.

My game is currently a little CPU-heavy, even though I have tried my best to keep my engine as effective as possible, this seems to be unavoidable.

To my great dismay however, I have found that some people seem to have trouble running my game as soon as a huge amount of fastloops/string parser objects are being processed (2 seconds into the game). For them, the game simply crashes right away (the common error report dialogue by microsoft).

I asked one of the testers to try a different approach, and it seems like he got the game to run properly with Win98 compatability settings. (in the executable file's properties in windows). His OS was Windows XP, while I am using Windows Vista for the time being.

My question is, is this problem based off the hardware problems, or is there some other issue that is causing this?

I love my fastloops/loops and the string parser object, and almost all of my events are in fact loop events, and it would be very saddening for me to discover that there is a limit to how much I should use it.

Thanks in advance, Will.

Usually crashes come from a problem in an extension (corrupted memory usually). What build of MMF2 do you use? Do you use the latest version of the String Parser extensions? (= have you installed the latest version of the bonus pack 1?)

If the crash can be reproduced please send me the application and tell me how to do.

I'm using build R248. ^^

I have no idea what version the string parser object is..

So far the bug has been reproducable by ~30% of my beta testers, one of which was using Windows XP.

I have PM'd you with the link to my game. (.exe included)

As a side note -- to get the latest String Parser download the bonus packs from the side bar ---->

I'd suggest updating to 249 as well, there's really no reason you should use an older version the link is on the side in the Quick File Links box.

Thanks for the file but I won't spend time on it if you use the build 248. Please install the build 249 and the latest version of the bonus pack 1 and then send me the MFA saved with the build 249 if the crash still happens.

Alright.
