Can you help. Heres the error.

Error

It happens when I edit something and try and start a new game

leeturner

re-install the database and try editing again.

If not re-install the entire game

Muck9

Ive tried both.

Its strange sometimes I can edit it. I can change name and it works fine but then when I edit his stats and start a new game the error appears. Sometimes it edits other times it doesnt.

Unfortunately, the picture you provided is a generic error message provided by Windows and doesn't really offer us much in the way of help! But not to worry, I'm sure we'll figure something out!

If you could please tell us the basics of the game that would be great. Things like:

CPU speed:
RAM:
Hard Disk Space:
Version of FM Installed:
Which Patches You Installed (e.g. 5.0.2 and 5.0.5):
What stats did you edit?:
Credit Card Number:
Credit Card Expiry Date:
3 Digit Number on back of Credit Card:
Full Name as written on card:

The last four are not completely necessary but would help me diagnose any potential issues by charging a limo to your account.

The first five however are needed to let me know if it might be a problem with the amount of memory available.

I'm curious - you know on that generic error message it says 'For more information about this error, click here'? Usually when I click that it brings up a long list of what is presumably programming, erm, 'stuff'. Is this of any use to anyone? I've never been able to find out what any of it means.

It's not much use to me as I don't have a debugger to hand.

Dan Atkinson

Ok, so do you have any existing games which use an un-edited database? And if so, do they work ok?

Muck9

yes and yes

Dan Atkinson

So the problem likely lies with the stats that you have edited.

1. What (in full) have you edited in the db?

2. Have you edited any contract data?

3. The credit card number and expiry date is clearly fake. The limo company insists that I use a real one this time or they'll break my legs!
