I'm just wondering if anyone has had the same problem.... basically, Fred2_open crashes on startup -  W2000 displaying an error message.  Checking the task manager, the process continues to exponentially gobble up memory for a few minutes till it also dies (killed off by windows - ?)

I have no idea what is triggering this - I did create a new explosion ani for flak (thus modifing the weapons and weapons_exp tables), which would have seemed to be the original problem.  Beforehand, fred2_open was fine - albiet I'd only used it in short bursts to test minor mods.

But i've since deleted all modiifed stuff from teh data directory, and the problem still occurs......for reference, normal fred2 works fine.

So, any suggestions?  I'm wondering if fred2_open could somehow change or corrupt it's own registry settings (if it has any), as I've deleted and replaced it with a fresh copy.........  i'm kind of gazumped at this one:confused:

I had this all the way up to the FRED in 3.5.5, which works fine. Also, the Inferno build in Phreak's siggy works as well :nod:

I've had the error several times on the so-called latest version. Goober sent me another and it works fine now...   Vanilla Fred2 crashes now... :p

Lovely..... ( not sure whether i'm sarcastic or not here )

Care to send me a link for that version, in case it does fix me problems?
