I have about 100+ of these errors and this is always the error that occurs when Graal crashes.

I can log on and play with RC1, but Graal4 often crashes with that exact error randomly.

Gah, Its probally something to do with Vista hopefully Stefan will patch graal to be compatible with Vista. I think Vista launch date is end of January, Hopefully it can be fixed before or by then so when people upgrade to Vista or new users jump into Graal with vista they can actually play.

This may be one issue; Vista uses NTDLL Version 6.X; and all other Windows OS seem to use a NTDLL Version 5.X; Could there be an incompatibility?

Something in the windows library yes, hard to know what is causing it. Might check Vista sometime in January, right now we don't have any copy of it.

Get the RC1 then. Has the same core librarys as my final copy of it.

RC1 Trial is Valid till June2007.

*Update:

After talking to CheeToS it is not the exact same librarys the major version 6.x is the same but the minor version 6.0.6000.XXXXX is different but the librarys probably still function very similar if CheeToS also experiences the same problem I do.

RC1, RC2 and RTM are quite different. Also we don't have the time before christmas. Even half of the Microsoft products don't run on Vista right now.

It's probably the same error reason you get for XP x64, I just cant find the crash log.

It seems to be some odd error, probably in the microphone/sound files for graal. But I could be wrong.
I can get a somewhat stable graal window when I launch the Teamspeak client, to further stabilize it, I need to run about 5 other programs dealing with sound or video, sometimes even IE7 does the trick.

[Admins]

But disabling the sound doesn't help in that case?

Pac can't post at the moment because of password problems, so i'm doing it on his behalf.

On vista it helps me to have GW and WoW runing besides the extreme lag and yes I need both so its semi - stable; without it, it only lasts about 2minutes then crashes.

I do not believe that disabling the entire sound system will help any, it still loads the 32 bit dll's.

I have attached a new Graal4.exe (v4.207) to this post. The only modification is that the sound library has been updated. Please check if this is working better.

Want a download link to test Graal with Vista?

Since the last update, Graal has been crashing for me in Vista before I get a window with this error:

Exception EAccessViolation in module AcLayers.dll at 0001172E.
Access violation at address 7445172E in module 'AcLayers.dll'. Read of address 00000010.



Before the last update it would crash randomly, which I think your new exe might help with.

So is this version changing something for you?
Did you try Graal in compatibility mode or so?
