Error when pressing a key on a splash screen

by Zvi Effron · in Torque X 2D · 03/22/2007 (11:17 pm) · 6 replies

When I press a key during splash screens, the splash screen hangs the program and the debugger says:
LoaderLock was detected
Message: Attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run managed code inside a DllMain or image initialization function since doing so can cause the application to hang.

However, the gamepad seems to skip the splash screen perfectly. If I build the project for release instead of debug, then the first time I press enter, the splash screens hiccup, and then skip the second time. They still show the issue of skipping all the splash screens I have, though, which I thought was supposed to be a fixed issue.

Thanks for any help.

Skipping all the splashes is fixed for sure in closed beta, but I was pretty sure it should be fixed in open beta as well.

Have you added/modified any of the splashscreens? If so, try just executing the unmodified GG splashscreen only and see if you still have an issue.

I have modified and added splashscreens, but I've noticed it happening in all splash screens, even for the demo templates. THis is weird because I was working with templates before and didn't notice any issues then.

I've seen this behavior but I don't know how to reproduce it. I'm fairly certain it is a GSE issue with debugging as I usually get it when starting/stopping debug sessions.

Restarting the computer fixes the issue.

I know that when I was using the open beta awhile back I was having major issues with the splashscreens even to the point of crashing the computer. I ended up not touching the SS until I got new closed beta builds which fixed all the SS problems I was having.

What does it take to get a copy of the closed beta? Purchase of Game Builder?

Edit: A restart seems to have fixed the errors with the exceptions being thrown, but the one press is still skipping all the splash screens. I'm going to just assume that that is an issue with the open beta that has only been fixed in closed beta.

It takes patience since money is no guarantee.
