[BUG][PLAYER] NeoLemmix 12.10.3 crashes on startup
« on: January 07, 2021, 05:53:24 PM »
NeoLemmix 12.10.3

First, the following dialog box appears:
Quote
Error during settings loading:
EAccessViolation: No levels contained in selected pack!
Default settings have been loaded. Customizations to settings during this session will not be saved.

Then, once you click 'OK', a second dialog box appears:
Quote
Access violation at address 00B3E1EF in module 'NeoLemmix.exe'. Read of address 00000004.

This happens even with the default levels in the appropriate locations.

I'm running on Windows 10 on an ARM processor, FWIW. Win32 applications are, in theory, supposed to be able to run without modification on this system, but apparently that's not true for NeoLemmix!

If I can be of more assistance in fixing this issue, please let me know. Thanks!

Do you have any level packs inside your "levels" folder? When it's completely empty I think NL crashes.

I do have level packs in the "levels" folder: 'Lemmings' and 'Lemmings Redux'.

Do you have a settings file in the settings folder, it sounds like there is a problem with that file.

If so, are you able to attach it to a post.

Was this an installation that was working before, or has it never worked on this system?

The errors sound similar to this, in which the solution was a fresh installation: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=5114.0

Probably not it, but might not hurt to look at if nothing else works: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=4715.0

There is no "settings" file in the settings folder.

This is a fresh installation that has never worked on this system.

Do you have the same/similar outcome with other NL versions, or with regular Lemmix?

I don't have any ARM device that can run Windows 10 to test on myself, but NeoLemmix tends to be a bit "edge case-y" in terms of how it works, so it would not be surprising if it's among the exceptions to the "x86 emulation can run almost everything".
My Lemmings projects
2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)

Well, after much dicking around, I've discovered that the problem was, in fact, that I was running neolemmix off a mapped network drive (my file server) rather than directly off the "C" drive.

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the help!
