[solved] Problem when running game

[Faithbuilders]

Every time a run a game inside LateralGM I get the same error....

EGM2337738558666129258.exe has stopped working

It is getting frustrating. How can I fix this.

Thank you.

P.S. The "EGM______.exe file is different from game to game that I try to run, but the error is the same.

I tried compiling it first, then running the program out side of LateralGM but it just stops working.... Grrrrrrr

You have to give us more information to get help, can you post / attach your source file EGM file ? someone will take a look at it - there is probably something you did wrong in your project, even some simple stuff like forgetting to use draw_self() among many other reasons..... Without more information it will be difficult otherwise.

I tried 3 different GM files first, then to test it, I put a bird object into a room. No code. Just to see if the most simple would work, to see if the bird would show up. And I still got an error.

Can you send us the exe then? It's pretty impossible to test a bug like that, as none of us can replicate it. I run ENIGMA just fine. What you can also try is open command line (cmd in run), go to the folder where the .exe is and type "gdb EGM2337738558666129258.exe", the "run". When it crashes you type "bt" and post all the info from the command line here.

As this is only a test, it does nothing but place a animated bird in the middle of the screen.

I hope This error can be resolved...

Here is the file, called "test.exe"

I saw these lines when debugging the program...

windres.exe: warning: 24: 1: 1033: duplicate value
windres.exe: warning: 24: 1: 1033: duplicate value
windres.exe: warning: 24: 1: 1033: duplicate value

I don't know it that means anything.

Also I tried to run a empty game, and it worked, but as soon as I put an object into a room, it gave the error.

**edit** I narrowed it down to the room. I created an object with no code. rad the game, and it worked, (no error) Then I ran the same game with an "empty room, and it game the error. It does not seem to like my rooms. Grrrrr

I runs just fine on my PC.


But my version of ENIGMA can be different. You can also try changing the graphics system to something else (like GL3 or DX9) in ENIGMA settings (accessed from LGM). I would really like if you could try debugging like I showed with GDB. First run the game in Debug mode (the bug icon in LGM next to Run), then use cmd and gdb like I posted. If you type "gdb" in comand promt and it shows that gdb is missing, then you will have to go to the place where you installed ENIGMA and find mingw folder. For example, mine is "C:\ENIGMA_InstallZip\mingw32\bin". Go to that folder with "cd" like "cd C:\ENIGMA_InstallZip\mingw32\bin" and then type "gdb C:/Users/Deus/AppData/Local/Temp/egm78556462182461419.exe" where the last part is the .exe that LGM made (it prints out in the little window). And the rest like I showed. This will pretty undoubtedly show you and us what the problem is.

Ha, look at that, changing the graphics system worked, thank you.

[TheExDeus]

You changed from what to what? We still need to find out what caused this problem. At least post your PC specs to see if it's just a problem with a bad GPU. Even so, GL1 should run on all PC's, and GL1 is the default setting.

[Faithbuilders]

From Open GL 1.1 to Direct3D 9.0 I have win 7. Other specs I don't know.

[TheExDeus]

If you won't be able to gives us more later when you have more problems, then we sadly won't be able to help you much. Like D3D9 can be missing some stuff, so if you cannot run GL, then this really isn't a fix that will work for you a long time.

Sorry, man, I just don't know a lot of stuff. I just know what the computer tells me. I was wondering if I needed to install a diver, or program, or something.
