HI all, Tonight while debugging/testing Mysteries of the Ancients I realised there is still something we haven't tried to do in order to track down that blue screen error. Most of you don't know this but cross-platform libraries such as SFML often out put error messages directly to the console, or in Windows the command prompt. Since most of us are use to dialog boxes, message boxes, and all the other Windows trappings I doubt it ocurred to anyone before now to try and launch the program from the command prompt to see if there are any error codes etc printed to the screen. So that's what we need to do. What I would do if I were you guys is copy the installation files to a test directory like c:\test and then open the command prompt window by typing cmd into the run dialog box and pressing enter. Now, for you Windows newbies that know nothing about Dos commands change to the test directory we created by doing a cd\test and pressing enter. Now, simply type tomb and press enter. The game should launch and play. When you exit the game there should be error messages printed to the screen if there were any encountered. Let me know your results.
