I would need the except.txt to say more. It's a blitter error, which means that the game most likely wrote out of array bounds. Hard to diagnose.

Thanks. Blitter error while drawing the mouse cursor... I'll have to take a closer look as to why this happened. Will take some time.

so recently I updated to windows10 (or forced to update because of microsoft bullshit) and after that my game has been behaving strangely ever since.
When I try to launch any game be it single or multiplayer the game never open even though it keeps saying "a game is in progress" for several minutes before it goes away as if I never even launched the game.

I tried restarting my client and PC several times, I even reinstalled the mod several times,and when I did that each time I can play 1 game normally and then afterwards it goes back to the same issue mentioned above.

what's even weirder is that the windows update didn't affect the other mods I have installed.

So, I got an error when I tried loading a mission from the Allied campaign so I could finish it.

My laptop screen went black for a bit, started hearing the game soundtrack, and then I got an error message.

I went through the files and found the "except" text document and this is what it had on the top over some numbers and stuff:

Internal Error encountered!

---------------------
Ares version: 18.26.126
---------------------
Exception code: C0000005 at 004A95CE
Registers:

EDX: 0019D1E0 ESI: 0E626000 EDI: 0087F7E8

 

And here's the stuff from the "debug" text document:

Let me know if there's anything else I need to post here to fix the problem.

- Changed properties (compatibility; run as admin), rebooted...still no go.

- Win7

Had the client reappear after attempting to start a game. It happened again tonight while attempting to play a custom map. All .EXE files set to Windows XP SP3 compatibility and Admin mode.

I have some problem while installing MO on Windows 10

​I did try install MO 3.3.0 onto RA2/YR folders, already checked that main files exist and version is updated enough for installation.
​however, trying to active syringe.exe in order to run the game became unsuccessful, basically I received a log message from syringe.exe like this

 

 

 

[01:04:27] Syringe 0.7.2.0
[01:04:27] ===============
 
[01:04:27] WinMain: arguments = ""
[01:04:29] WinMain: No or invalid command line arguments given, exiting...
[01:04:29] WinMain: Exiting on failure.

 
​I can run the client with no problems but cannot initiate the match. I really need to know how could I fix this? 
​Syringe.exe, gamemd.exe, MOclient all run as admins and set compatibility to windows XP/SP2.

You can't run syringe.exe directly. Try to run the game via the client and see what comes up

Sometimes it happens to me too, but I figured out one particular unit causes the slowdown to ~5-10 fps. It seems to be random, what kind of unit (building, infantry, tank) causes that, but right at the moment as I eliminate it, the game runs normally again.

Hello

 

I'm having trouble here.

The game have been working great until today.

I have not changed anything but now I can't start any game.

 

I have tried to reinstall everything but it is still not working. Whenever I start a game, the client minimize as if the game was starting, then nothing happens and the client pops back.

 

Tell me if you need anything more. Thanks !

Ares DLL is clearly unknown to Westwood when they developed the game. In order to implement the new features we need to inject the DLL inside, and add hooks to some binary locations to call the new functions. Such techniques are frequently utilized by viruses, and antivirus software hate them.
