Title: What am I missing
Post by: Rick Crochet on October 23, 2017, 01:22:34 PM
I have played the tutorial in the Particle Fleet DEMO quite a few times and not sure what the problem is, it  crashes on me. As I am using an older computer AND XP PRO SP3, I'm sure I'm missing something. I have been a fan of CW since Kongregate and CW1 and have 1-3. I would be sad if I can't play your newest games. I only sent last 2 reports.

Hi Rick,

Can you give us a bit more info? What's your processor / GPU? Ram?

Also, particle fleet does not run (well) on XP.

This part from the crash log doesn't look good:

3536 MB physical memory [686 MB free].
0 MB paging file [0 MB free].
2048 MB user address space [37 MB free].


Do you not have a page file?

Yeah, it shouldn't run on windows XP at all.  Unity still supports XP, but the bugs and issues have been stacking up.  Not to mention the GPU drivers can often be abandonware.  So I can't say I'm surprised by it crashing.  As for what might be the reason, I'm not really sure.  It's a classic "Access Violation" which can be caused by anything (graphics, sound, disk, or a hundred other things).

This system can handle Windows 7.
An option is to install Win7 and PF should work.
