(crashes) memory could not be "read"

by **travolter** » 21 Aug 2016, 13:30

Hi everyone.

Im testing manalink with latest updates in several XP machines.
Every time the program crashes appears the following error:

Instruction at referenced memory could not be read

I usually get the error while playing games in the sealed deck mode.. just when a new round begin and you are near to receive your hand.

I dont have a way to reproduce the bug into the sealed deck.. but I can reproduce it using shandalar.

Just open shandalar.. and enter into a village... then press "buy cards" or edit deck and the program will crash with the "Instruction at referenced memory could not be read" sessage just before the cards appear on the screen.

Question: What are the VB requirements needed to run the game? Witch versions do I need to have installed? 2010 version is enough?

I know that many people are using windows 8/10 and dont worry about install "everything" in their OS.. but my machines are very old and I have to take care of install new addons to the OS. I only want the necessary to run my programs.

Best regards and thanks for your time

Generally just the C runtimes are needed. They should be somewhere in here if you search.

Nevermind about this post...it seems that I had an old version of shandalar.exe in my magic folder.
I have updated the shandalar files and the "memory could not be "read"" problems are gone.

thanks for your support and patience
