View Full Version : Self Colapsing a Known Bug?

The game keeps collapsing on it own like most other games do when you hit the "windows" key. Since it rarely actually crashes when this happens, its only annoying but I have to wonder if this is a known problem and if there is a known fix.

What operating system are you using?

Win7 in XP mode. Running as administrator makes no difference. From what I can tell, the patches don't address this.

Seen this just a few times. Seems like an application accesses the desktop and RTW suffers. Auto virus scan etc. - sometimes no obvious culprit. If it's happening a lot maybe try starting task master and check running apps or processes. Google the processes.

Here's a short list of the most common problems:

-disable UAC
-install the game outside of your Program Files (x86) folder
-set RTW launcher to Run as Administrator

Without knowing which copy of RTW you are using (original disc, d/l from Steam, etc) it's hard to be more specific. Try browsing through this forum to see if anything matches the problems you are having:

Come to think of it, MTW did something similar whenever autoupdates ran. I have a few things running; first best guess would be my Hughesnet Status Meter or my virus program

Boxed disc with Barbarian Invasions. Checking out the linked discussion now (thanks).
