 Post subject: Demo crash even after new patch
PostPosted: Thu Feb 19, 2004 5:57 am 
I just dled the demo, then i dled the new exe file. I load up the game, i get the cursor and a black screen, i press escape and it goes into the loading screen with the red buttons lioghting up at the bottom. They finish lodaing up and it crashes to the desktop. I copied and pasted my ma.log here if it helps.

Massive Assault v.1.1.191.
ma.exe is created on 19/2/2004 and has 2306048 bytes of length.

We currently have NO PATCH for Demo.
so, you have to get full version of the game in the nearest game-shop.
After this, patch will work 8)

So... you want myself and others to dig deep, buy the full version without us even playing the game for ourselves... right...

That just defeats the purpose of having a demo?

You can play the demo, just can't patch it. Makes sense.

as far as I understand you have downloaded Demo and downloaded patch for win98, ME users, yes?
ok, that is our failure.
please reinstall and run you Demo without applying a patch. If you downloaded Demo after 20 of December, the Demo should work correctly.
Let me know about results.

Ok, i got the demo from a games cd just now so its probably after 20th of december. I install it, try run get a kernal32.dll error. Do the same on a diff computer and get the same error. I got to the website. I see this link saying error with demo, download this new ma.exe file and overwrite it on ur old one. I do that, run it, i get a black screen with cursor, i press escape, its goes into loading screen, all the red lights light up and it goes back to desktop. Is there anyway to fix it?
