Game crashes at startup
« on: October 12, 2008, 07:30:37 PM »
I've never had this problem with PB before in all my years of playing (since 2005), Recently I've neglected paintball and have been playing Halo a lot, but I got an urge to play this evening and went to play, and when I start up it immediately crashes. I uninstalled the game, then redownloaded and tried again, same thing. The error message I get says this:

the instruction at "0x012948a6" referenced memory at "0x016801d4". The memory could not be "read".


Anybody know how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.
I'm using a Compaq Presario from 2006 with Windows XP, btw.

You hurt its feelings.  Gave it up for Halo?  Come on! ;)

On a serious note, is this the same computer you were able to play it on before?  What video card do you have?  You may need different drivers or something.

Haha, I haven't given it up, only taken a break. And as of recent, it's began to work again. But yes, this is the same computer I've played it on for most of my time playing. The video card is a Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE

Any idea what you changed to get it to work again?  Perhaps there was some other program running that it didn't agree with.

I would also like to know how this problem was solved since the same thing seems to be happening to me.  It is the same computer that I was able to play it on before.  I also took a break from playing it before attempting to get on again.  I know my login still works since i can get on from other computers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for your time
