Bug with WinXP Pro

[Michael H.W. Weber]

Hi Howard,
one of our team members had a problem with running DF under WinXP Pro using an AMD system:

========================[ Jun 15, 2002 9:34 PM ]========================
FATAL ERROR: [023.024] {trajtools.c, line 2376} RLEUnPack failed, size=160256, should=400*400 please contact authors

After running for a while the client stopped giving the message shown above.

Do you know what is happening here?
Michael.

From the "Known Bugs and Workarounds" page:

You get the error: RLEUnPack failed, size=xxxxxx, should=400*400 please contact authors
Here xxxxxx is some number, close to 160000. This is caused by faulty memory chips. If you are overclocking your CPU/RAM, try setting back to normal speed. If the problem still does not go away, you have a faulty RAM chip. Try an extensive memory test or return your machine to your dealer (yes, I am serious).


If you run into any problems in the future, could you please check the known bugs page first - it would probably get you the fix faster :p

Oh - thanks a lot!
