LabRat Report post Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) I compiled a Windows client using no optimisation and i386 code, so it *should* work for anyone. http://www.gregoryfenton.org.uk/elc-386.exe save it to your new EL folder, and run it from there instead of el.exe Hope it helps someone Sorry about the presence of the console window, can't get rid of the blasted thing :/ Edit: put it on a faster site Edited June 3, 2007 by LabRat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted June 3, 2007 Ok, let us know if you tried Labrat's updated client. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkgrouz Report post Posted June 3, 2007 i have tried all 3 new clients.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted June 3, 2007 Ok, try the Debug thing, and post the error log. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkgrouz Report post Posted June 3, 2007 when i try to open those clients theres no window error, only little window trying to open EL and closed again.. nothing more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted June 3, 2007 Like I said, check the errors log. And one other thing: Do you run any antivirus/firewall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthropologist Report post Posted June 3, 2007 SAme as before, console comes up and nothing else. Still no error log to post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted June 3, 2007 If there is no error log to post, I am assuming that Windows didn't even properly start the application.. I guess it might be a Windows problem (bad dll? some virus? some antivirus?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkgrouz Report post Posted June 3, 2007 i shut down firewall and anti vir.. and same... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Ok, can you check the amount of memory you have available? You can do that pressing ctrl+alt+del Can you close ALL the applications you have open, and try again, all of the clients? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthropologist Report post Posted June 4, 2007 i tried it with the anti virus and firewall down as well. I don't seem to have any other problems with the computer. Also, I was able to start the old client no problems. Hmmm...at first I simply renamed my Eternal Lands folder and then installed the new stuff into a fresh Eternal Lands folder. When I first got this problem, I went back and deleted everything, including the new client, redownloaded and installed. I uninstalled and redownloaded/installed a second time before posting anything. Could I have some garbage in the registry from previous versions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkgrouz Report post Posted June 4, 2007 i have 300MB available, only 200 of 512 used... and i tried all... but not seems to use any kind of memory when i try clients.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabRat Report post Posted June 4, 2007 The EL client doesn't write to the registry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkgrouz Report post Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) i have no txt calld registry.. its not created.. #edit: no chat_log or edit_log or conection_log.txt Edited June 4, 2007 by darkgrouz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Ok, this is for the programmers only: Can you write a detailed log (using DEBUG) that writes down in a log all the stuff, like ok, we just started the client (in main() ), we are trying to load the data, we are trying to connect to the server, etc?

Entropy Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Np, we'll get to the cause of that, eventually. Too bad that no one that has this problem is a programmer, it could have helped a lot.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
