Hi all!
Just installed Metaltech: Earthsiege through DosBox. Upon running, the game crashes before we hit an opening splash screen. Sometimes (but not always and not reproducable) I can briefly see a message that reads 'illegal address has caused page fault' along w/ a hex dump that follows. Other times I see the hex dump w/o the message.
Also worthy of note, is that it dosn't dump me back to DosBox, it actually crashes DosBox and puts me back into windows.
I have tried the following variations with the .72 as well as .63 (because in googling the problem before I came here I saw a posting in another forum that said it did indeed work for him in .63)
1.Unpatched install
2.patched install
3 unpatched install w/ special gravesound patch
4.patched install w/ special gravesound patch
5.both the above sequences with the campagin patch, which I would be amazed if it had anything to do w/ my problem, but I include it for completeness
I'm running Vista64, 2 gigs of ram.
Any help would be appricated, I havn't played this game in ages and would really love to take a crack at it again, thanks!
