[RESOLVED] Computer crashes on attract mode start after update

[phildo77]

I updated GameEx yesterday and now when attract mode starts windows crashes. I haven't had any time to dig into it but was wondering if anyone knows anything off the top of their head. It was fine before the update.

Please post a copy of your log file (under \gameex\log ) and copy your gameex.ini file into a notepad and save as a text file and attach it in reply to this message. Since this is the first we have heard of this we need these files to diagnose your issue. If you need further assistance, click on the Tempest link in my sig.

Thanks!

Sorry for the vague post. I've since fixed the issue. The latest nvidia drivers were the problem (266.58). I rolled back to 260.99 and everything works fine now. It wasn't gameex that was crashing windows, it was MAME.

FYI: Windows XP SP3

Nvidia 7800GT

That's OK, thanks for letting us know what was the cause and that you were able to determine the cause! - we will mark this as [RESOLVED]

Mine was crashing during the attract mode too, but this bug fix Tom put out today completely fixed my problem too. You may be OK to re-upgrade your drivers, I think this may have been a GameEx problem not a driver problem.

I'll give that a shot! Thanks for the update! I'll update with my results.
