Hello. I hope some people still read this forum since I'm in need of assistance.
I have the gamersgate version of WWI gold where I think the last patch they provided may be 1.08l.
I would very much like to get version 'q' working but I am experiencing numerous ctd.
After browsing the forum I read about disabling UAC. I managed to do that and installed the patch. When i started the game it says that I am running 1.08q. Everything seems to work fine until I get to the battle resolution during the military phase. After fighting a few battles I will almost always crash to desktop. It is impossible for me to get more than a few turns into the game before I crash.
When I crash I will sometimes see an error message saying :
debug assertion failed!
Program c:\ProgramFiles(x86)\World War one Gold\ww1.exe
File dbgdel.cpp
Line 52
Expression -BLOCK-TYPE-IS-VALID(pHead -> nBlock use)
For more information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the visual c++ documentation on asserts.
I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop. The laptop runs Windows 7 and the desktop runs windows 8 and I have had the same problem and message on both computers when I tried to use 1.08q.
I tried browsing through the forum but I could not find anyone who seemed to have a similar problem. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could resolve this. 1.08l seems pretty stable but I would like to get the last patch up and working.
