dwwin.exe application error in SWP.exe

[SamSwashbuckler]

I'm not sure if this applies to the regular JonoF port since I was using SWP.exe, but a few of the times when swp.exe crashes, there's an error window that pops up from Dr. Watson:


dwwin.exe - Application Error

The exception Breakpoint
A breakpoint has been reached.
(0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x7c901230.

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program



If I hit Cancel to debug, nothing opens, I guess that's because I have no coding software on this machine.

SWP.exe is still running (taking up about 40MB ram) but has no windows open, so you have to kill the process. Any suggestions to prevent that or what to do when it happens?

That happened once to me also but it was only on one particular map and I cannot remember which one, i think it might have been Exile or Panda, not sure though.

what is that dwwin.exe process anyway? on my old PC it started showing up around the time the PC started taking on viruses. it barely ever shows up on my new PC though. what the hell is that process?

[SamSwashbuckler]

Dr Watson, it's part of windows for crash-tracking or something like that, I've never used it for my coding.

The Dr. Watson crash is reproducible (within 10 minutes I think) using the attached map, which I used to play with original SW with no problems (so it's not a map bug).

first off, this map didn't crash once for me. played for 10 minutes.

second, where is it from ? i checked the map packs and it wasn't included. Do you have more maps that may be missing from the packs ?

any chance you could check http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif metal22 was quite interesting.

Map plays fine here also.

Um, I guess maybe this wasn't clear that I was playing in a WANGBANG, not just single player going through the map. It is a multiplayer map, after all.

I have played this map with at least 2 different people (using swp.exe) and it consistently does those Dr. Watson crashes. I know because it's a great map and I've tried to play it several times http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I suppose there's a small possibility that there's some problem on my end, but what could it be? I can play other maps just fine (with the same opponents, even).

As for other maps, I've hoarded SW and Duke stuff over the years and I have lots, but I'm still working on sorting them into single/wangbang.

If you actually want to play sometime, you can help me sort through them! (Or anyone else who wants to play)
