Game Crash - Help! ICC10

[desreg25]

Can somebody more computer literate than me please assist.

I get an `MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close` after a short time, each time i load and continue playing.

Any idea what it is and what I can do to sort it??

Thanks

Are there any common steps you take to get such a crash? Or is it completely random each time?

[desreg25]

No, i just keep playing as normal, saving as i go, then it seems to just decide its had enough, no one particular action seems to trigger it

I believe ICC runs in the .NET environment.

There is a very good chance that re-installing/updating the right version of .NET (free Mircorosft download) will fix it. In my experience about 60% of game issues are .NET related and a reinstall/install or fix tends to sort it.

There are several versions though, so check the .readme file that ships with the game to make sure you update the right one.

I had a .NET windows update and ive just re-booted after installing so maybe that was it.

Thanks for your advice though

NET frameworks are backwards compatible - there's no reason to get an earlier version.

Indeed, though a fresh install along with cleaning out the old ones can do the trick.

With stability issues like this, the first port of call is to do a fresh install of the game. Then it's just a case of trial by error. .NET, Visual C packages, graphics drivers, etc.

Unfortunately, they are quite vague. Be useful if they came with a massive neon sign saying "ERROR HERE", wouldn't it?
