Immediate Crash (not main.cs)

I downloaded the newest milestone of TSE and compiled with no problems. However when I start the engine, it begins to load, then I get this fatal error which I have copied from the console file.

Fatal: (c:\documents and settings\alan\desktop\tse\engine\shadergen\shadergen.cpp @ 67) Failed to open Shader Stream
Error, a DecalManager (1a17c00) isn't properly out of the bins!

Thoughts?

I'm getting the exact same error. I'm using the Latest Milestone of TSE and the October 2006 Release of Direct X SDK.

Anyone have a fix for this?

Check and make sure that everything is not still flagged Read Only. That was my problem (which GG staff was kind enough to point out awhile back.) Hope that helps.

Weird that only some people are seeing this. What program are you using to unzip?

Same here. I made sure I've got no read only files ... check.

Made sure that debug wasn't enabled ...check.

Just crashes out as soon as I run the .exe on one of my systems.

Used winzip to unzip with (don't know if that helps??)

System has a brand new Nvidia card (Geforce 6200), 512mb, WinXP Pro

It just doesn't launch at all. I checked to make sure that no debugging was enabled in main.cs, but still it dies :(

Brand new and brand slowest. Only a little faster than intel onboard so you will not be able to use many shaders


Double check the drivers for the card. 90+ drivers will most likely cause errors, remove Shader support and other funny things. (I'm on a 7600Go = 7300GT+ and had to revert from 97.X to 84.25 to get back SM3 support)
Best driver for your card most likely is the same, so 84.25.

You can grab it from www.guru3d.com or www.laptopvideo2go.com

Thanks, but no it's not the card. I have another 3 systems here with exactly the same card and it runs fine on those.
