[RESOLVED] 11.98 Fontname Pop-ups when starting

**DJoneK** · August 9, 2011

I just updated to 11.98 and whenever I start GameEx, it pops-up a ton of windows pop-up warnings displaying some font names. I need to press and hold the enter key so they all go away quickly, if not, it's clickety, clickety hell.

I'm guessing it's a known bug and it's being figured out? Since I haven't seen mention of 11.98 here in the forums yet.

Excellent job to all involved in such a wonderful piece of software.

**Adultery** · August 9, 2011

Wow, that sounds like a bummer! What OS you using? Windows 7?

**DJoneK** · August 9, 2011

Vista 32bit

**hansolo77** · August 9, 2011

Yeah, same for me... autoinstall triggers them all to display their font names after "finalizing install". Need to press [OK] or press enter on each one before GameEx loads.

[EDIT] Windows 7 64bit

**Draco1962** · August 9, 2011

Got the same thing after updating to 11.98 - Windows 7 x64 here.

**Adultery** · August 9, 2011

Hmm. That's a new one on me. Can you guys post your logs, or you can't make it to loading?

**DJoneK** · August 9, 2011

It all loads fine after pressing Enter on all of them, and everything works just as it should. Just a minor annoyance whenever you start GameEx.

**hansolo77** · August 9, 2011

Exiting MAME no longer causes GameEx to crash... Displaying of each font name occurs on each time GameEx loads.

**simbamame** · August 9, 2011

Odd ive updated ... Im running win 7 32 bit no problems.

**gruntk** · August 9, 2011

same issue here

did you need a specific log file to check this issue ?

Win 7 x64

**Adultery** · August 9, 2011

I just wanted to have a look at your gameex log and see why it needs the permissions.

**Adultery** · August 9, 2011

Seems to be specific to W-64 bit versions eh?

.:edit:. Guess not, just read djonek's post again.

**Draco1962** · August 9, 2011

Since it is occurring prior to load, the log only shows information post load as far as I can see. Here is my log:

**hansolo77** · August 9, 2011

How'd you do that? Add a "spoiler" button?

**Adultery** · August 9, 2011

[ spoiler ] ... [ /spoiler ]

**DJoneK** · August 9, 2011

Well.. can't be a 64bit problem cuz as I said above, I'm running Vista 32bit. And yea.. it happens before even loading GameEx, since I have a tool that runs before GameEx to swap primary/secondary displays, and the warnings pop up before that.

**Draco1962** · August 9, 2011

DJoneK has Vista 32-bit. All others except for Ian (he has Win 7 x86) are Win 7 x64. I do not believe it is a rights access issue or a Win 7 x64 issue specifically. Will need to see if any XP users are experiencing the issue or other 32-bit Vista/7 users impacted.

**fRequEnCy** · August 9, 2011

I was also able to duplicate this. Also running Windows 7 64-bit.

**Adultery** · August 9, 2011

@Drac: does it make an entry in your Windows Error Report console at all?

**hansolo77** · August 9, 2011

[ spoiler ] ... [ /spoiler ]

Cool, will come in handy I'm sure.

**hansolo77** · August 9, 2011

I don't think it's an error, because you can bypass it by clicking the OK button in the window for each font. It's not saying "Error Loading Font..Arial" or anything like that. It's just a small, 1 cubic inch window with the font name and an [OK] button.

**fRequEnCy** · August 9, 2011

It seems like it's a message box in a loop going through all the fonts in code. Maybe was used for testing and was forgotten to be removed for release. Thanks for the report guys. Am sure Tom will fix soon.

**Adultery** · August 9, 2011

Thanks freq! On the ball as usual!

**Draco1962** · August 9, 2011

No Windows Error console. Nothing of import in Event Viewer.

**idriveanova** · August 10, 2011

Installed update last night as well and have the same issue. I am running Windows 7 (ultimate) 32 bit.

I was going to uninstall and re install this morning... Glad I checked here first to see if others had the same problem.
