Whenever I've create a new world now, DS starts off with a series of errors.
Most of them look like this:
.\Bootstrap\010 Docking Station\portable teleporter.cos
Invalid map position (5443.000000, 281.000000) ... elas 0 setv ov61 40 {@}mvto 5443 281 setv ov10 rand 0 ...
Windows NT/2000 5.1 build 2600 (Service Pack 3)
OriginalDisplay DirectX (netbabel 148)

It also asked for balloonbug graphics, which are weird, because that's something that only C3 should require, right?
And after continuing through a bunch of these, I'm stuck at the loading screen, where nothing happens. I can't even shut the engine down properly, but have to go through the task manager. I've got both C12DS and C2toDS, and this happens regardless of whether I start a C1 docked world or use Capillata only.
This is really annoying, since I've only got one online and one offline world, and would like to start a few new ones. Anyone know how to fix this?
(Also, while I'm posting, how do I add new people to my contacts list?) |

This happens to me often and is a huge pain in the you-know -what. First check to make sure Windows doesn't need to install new updates. I have found that sometimes the issue is resolved after installing any updates and restarting my computer. If that doesn't work, your best bet is to just recopy the missing files in your bootstrap folder. I keep several backup folders for this very reason.
I have noticed that this problem seems to occur when I try to create an undocked world after playing a docked world.
If you use any programs like Advanced System Care, make sure your preferences are set so that it doesn't try to "fix" any files in your Creatures folders.
Good luck

I don't have any pending windows updates, and I don't have C3... Only system program I'm running is Norman Security Suite.
I'll try reinstalling DS, and hope that it overwrites any bugged files and see if that helps. I'll tell you if it works.
But adding new contacts, how do I do this? |
