Howdy! biggrin.gif

Attached to this post is a "quick fix" for the Disruptor Beam internal error that a majority of Tiberian Sun players experience. Nothing else has been changed on this executable, other than the code that directly handles to Disruptors Beam. The executable has also been compressed to allow easy file transfer if people pass this around. smile.gif

NOTE:
This patch does NOT fix the Ion Cannon and Laser internal errors, i am still working on a solid fix for these crashes, in the mean time you can just put the Visual Details level to Medium or Low ingame.

Have fun, i hope this helps you out!

Lots of feedback is appreciated here, as i have had trouble getting a hold of testers. if people still experience errors with this patch, please upload your EXCEPT.TXT into this topic.

Cheers,

WSOCK32.DLL is to blame; You'll have to remove or rename it (meaning no more UDP LAN games)... sad.gif

Rename Game.exe to something other and then rename DisruptorBeamFix.exe to Game.exe.

@Bittah: I don't have and never had a WSOCK32.dll in my TS folder, because i never played TS online on this computer. wink1.gif

@Rampastein: I tried that already but it didn't work. In addition should it also work without renaming the exe.

Well, if you have the wsock32.dll in the TS directory, you have to rename the exe, since the wsock32.dll has been coded to load only to executables named game.exe and gamemd.exe.

Btw, the fix is working great wink1.gif The beams still cause black pixels when going outside of the view, but the game doesn't crash anymore (at least on this PC, haven't tested it on the other yet).

EDIT: Videos/FMVs (including the intro video when I click on the firestorm icon) aren't showing for some reason. Is this compatible with TFD?

Also, is this multiplayer-compatible with the normal Game.exe?
