Guest Utrechtterror Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 !EM4 doesn't really like 2-cores lolRun the game on one core Right Click > Run on one core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maarten.Provo Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 From the command line client I executed 'start /affinity 01 Em4Deluxe.exe' in the EM4-folder. But the results stays the same. Black screen that blinks a couple of times and finally crashing to the desktop.Attached created logfile after running this command Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unregister listener before destroying object! I would suggest you download the latest stable drivers from the nvidia site and install those.If this doesnt work, do you have some mobile sotfware installed? (samsung pc studio for example?)

Guest Maarten.Provo Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I googled that 'start /affinity 01 Em4Deluxe.exe', it should be the command to run it on one core. Emergency 4 crashes before I can set the processor affinity through task-manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Utrechtterror Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I would suggest you download the latest stable drivers from the nvidia site and install those.Lol ur right, I forgot the logfile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maarten.Provo Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 The latest stable drivers from Nvidia give me an error telling me the setup program could not locate any drivers compatible with my hardware. The drivers supplied by acer are older than the ones from laptopvideo2go and give the same error when starting EM4Deluxe.Mobile software: birdiesync (syncing smartphones with thunderbird) & windows mobile devices (new activesync for vista) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lo-Fi Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hey Maarten, maybe I can help you, it's been a month since you posted or maybe even have solved the problem, but do you have Icon in your icon tray to the bottom right hand corner on your screen called Nvidia Control Panel?.

Guest Maarten.Provo Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I don't have the icon but I can bring it up by Right-mouse-clicking on the desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Utrechtterror Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Go to Nvidia settings PanelUnder where it says,Select a Task, 3D Settings, Manage 3D settingsClickProgram SettingsDo the following...Click ADDthen add EM4.exe from the folder which it is contained in...scroll down to,Conformant texture clamp to,Use OpenGL specificationand then also set,Extension Limit to,On to OFF...Click Apply and try and launch the game....hope it works...it did with me....Quote is from lo-fi from another topicGood luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maarten.Provo Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 To bad, it didn't work. But thanks for trying to help out anyway. It did something good alright, the screen fades black and than displays a gray square, I think to play one of the video's, and than the crash to desktop.Before this it just faded black without the square.The logfile shows, my very irritating 80040216-friend?VVideoTexture::InitTextureRenderer(): could not find output pin [80040216]The same error as beforeNotice: I've switched to Vista Ultimate, did a clean install. And installed and ran EM4 immediatly after installing all the drivers and my security suite. So it does not appear to be related to some software application that is installed on the computer.

Guest Lo-Fi Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Quick question, I hope this isnt a illegal version of the game, as pirated (i dont like that stupid term but it sums it up pretty well)? If you know the answer to that is yes then you're wasting my time along with others and as well as yours....BUT, if not....check these few options out.....dont know if you've already tried them....Have you tried the Resolution Fix?Resolution Fix <------ Try thisAnd also give a quick read on this topic with crashing problems, it might be copy-protection software related, Click here for this topic it might be related to your ANTI-Virus program as well, have you tried that fix by turning it off and launching the game?Try those...... might have few more options we can try until youre the point of nowhere and then you have to contract Atari Tech Support....hope those work....

Emergency Defender Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've experienced random crashes throughout the freeplay in the LA mod for Emergency 4. I'm not sure what causes this, but I've gotten similar crashes in the campaign where bombs go off in the city. Are bombs set off in the LA mod? I have never seen them.
