Runtime errors on joining battle; unable to start spring.exe

[KingRaptor]

These errors are being experienced by other people, not me, so I'll try to communicate them as best as I can.

1) Apparently a number of people are having runtime errors when joining a Spring battle, causing the client to crash.

Code: Select all

[Microsoft visual C++ Runtime Library]
Runtime Error!
Program: C:/Program Files/Spring/TASClient.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Neither AFLobby nor SpringLobby seem to work either - unitsync problem?



2) A user from Hong Kong cannot start a game - it just boots him back at start with no error message.



Spring doesn't even generate an infolog.txt (except once where it says "Using script script.txt"). Apparently starting spring.exe doesn't work either.




All people involved are using Windows XP.
Reinstalling seems to have worked in neither case.
Any ideas?

First problem appears to have been resolved by the two people I talked to, one by wiping registry data prior to reinstall and one by removing restore points (oddly enough).
