franze 196 Posted January 5, 2003 This is not a problem I myself am having, but a friend who I recently suggested OFP to. He was able to find the Gold Edition of it, but now is getting a illegal page fault each time he tries to run it. Illegal page fault message: OPERATIONFLASHPOINT caused an invalid page fault in module ~DF394B.TMP at 0167:00ff462b. Registers: EAX=4d35b068 CS=0167 EIP=00ff462b EFLGS=00010202 EBX=01067c58 SS=016f ESP=0098fa58 EBP=0098fa78 ECX=00000001 DS=016f ESI=01066390 FS=307f EDX=011f4360 ES=016f EDI=011f43ac GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 08 d1 e1 8b 55 fc 8b 42 08 33 c1 89 45 f0 83 Stack dump: 01066ff4 01066390 01067c58 4d35b068 4cf5b068 011f4360 4d35b068 4d35b068 0098fac0 00fea7c5 011f4510 40000002 002d5fd0 011f4504 01066ff4 01066390 His system specs are as follows: Motherboard: ASUS A7V Processor: AMD Athlon clocked at 900mhz 128mb RAM Riva TNT2 Model 64 video card Soundblaster Live sound card We're looking through all kinds of FAQs and still can't seem to solve the problem. Any help is appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted January 5, 2003 That looks like his CD-ROm is having trouble with Safedisk 2.x or he has a copy of the original CD(hence not original). This happens at the launch of the game correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franze 196 Posted January 5, 2003 Correct, every time he launches it gives him a illegal page fault. "or he has a copy of the original CD(hence not original)." What do you mean by this? A corrupt CD maybe? If he got a non-gold edition copy, just a regular copy, would it function? EDIT: He says it gives him a illegal page fault about 20 seconds after he launches, also says that the OFP logo will show and then crash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted January 5, 2003 As bn880 said, the crash is happening in the SafeDisc stub, not the game itself, so we can rule out all multimedia hardware and drivers (sound and video). That means there is a conflict with a program such as Daemon Tools, or problem with the CD detection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not accusing anyone here, don't get me wrong, it could be a corrupt CD, most likely what Mr. Frag already said also, CD-ROM drive... Is there any way he can try a different CD-ROM? If he did patches is he able to play un-patched? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franze 196 Posted January 5, 2003 He says his CD rom is a: Hitachi CD/DVD Rom GD-7500 Any problems with similar drives and OFP? I *think* he's tried running unpatched, but I'll ask him. If all else fails, he can take it back and get a refund. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

franze 196 Posted January 5, 2003 Thanks avon, but we've already looked through that. I'm afraid he's gonna have to find a different copy or return it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

franze 196 Posted January 5, 2003 Well thanks for the help and suggestions everyone. He's going to try to find a different copy and see what he gets. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted January 5, 2003 What I find strange is that the program seems to have installed, so the CD detection must have worked at one point. The only thing that isn't working is running the program now that it is installed. I don't want to accuse this guy of having pirated the game, but something isn't right -- I simply don't recall anyone else ever legitimately reporting the same problem.

franze 196 Posted January 5, 2003 Avon's FAQ says, at the start: "When OFP starts up, I get error messages about file ~DF394B.TMP or EF7194.TMP. What's going on?! These files are created by the SafeDisc2 protection mechanism incorporated into OFP's CD." And the illegal page fault: "OPERATIONFLASHPOINT caused an invalid page fault in module ~DF394B.TMP at 0167:00ff462b. Registers: EAX=4d35b068 CS=0167 EIP=00ff462b EFLGS=00010202 EBX=01067c58 SS=016f ESP=0098fa58 EBP=0098fa78 ECX=00000001 DS=016f ESI=01066390 FS=307f EDX=011f4360 ES=016f EDI=011f43ac GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 08 d1 e1 8b 55 fc 8b 42 08 33 c1 89 45 f0 83 Stack dump: 01066ff4 01066390 01067c58 4d35b068 4cf5b068 011f4360 4d35b068 4d35b068 0098fac0 00fea7c5 011f4510 40000002 002d5fd0 011f4504 01066ff4 01066390" In any case though, if he's lucky enough, he'll be having fun playing OFP soon enough.
