| | 1 | If the game crashes or freezes when running on Windows, you can help us to debug the problem. If you have Visual C++ installed then you can use its debugger. Otherwise you should try these instructions to run the free WinDbg tool: |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | * Install the [http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx Debugging Tools for Windows]. (In the Windows SDK installer, you can disable everything except the first "Debugging Tools for Windows" option.) |
| | 4 | * Run '''!WinDbg''' from the Start menu (in "Debugging Tools for Windows"). |
| | 5 | * "File" menu -> "Open Executable". |
| | 6 | * Browse to the location where you installed the game, and open pyrogenesis.exe in the binaries\system folder. |
| | 7 | * If you want to debug the Atlas editor, put "-editor" in the "Arguments" box before clicking "Open". |
| | 8 | * If it asks to "Save information for workspace", say yes. |
| | 9 | * Enter the following commands: (the last step may take several minutes the first time you do this - wait until the "*BUSY*" prompt goes away) |
| | 10 | {{{ |
| | 11 | .symfix |
| | 12 | .reload /f |
| | 13 | }}} |
| | 14 | * "Debug" menu -> "Go". |
| | 15 | * When the game has failed (frozen or brought up an error message), switch to the !WinDbg window and "Debug" -> "Break". |
| | 16 | * Enter the command: |
| | 17 | {{{ |
| | 18 | ~* kp |
| | 19 | }}} |
| | 20 | * Copy-and-paste the output into some kind of pastebin service like [http://paste.pocoo.org/ this] and post the link to it. |
