Found a small problem with the client for windows v1.6

I installed it on a Win ME system and got it to run (crashes on occasion) but on thing i did notice is that I can't go diagonal with it. I can go up,down,left and right but no diagonal. Anyone else with this problem???

Try binding the keys for that: press 'up' to bind it, try it.

Other directions are: northeast, southwest, southeast
Bind them too.

If it still doesn't work, we'll see what we can do

ok

Thanks I was not sure on the acutal direction command. I will try it later when i get home from work.

Ok i am able to get on this board from my windows computer. I am going to cut and paste the error i get alot when i load upt he client. This seems to be causing the crash. If not i will post what it says when i get the crash.


** (GTKClient.exe:4143780059): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 8"
falling back to "Sans 8"

Ok here is the error it gives to me when it crashes. I get a box in teh middle of screen saying program UNKNOWN causes illegal error but in the dos window it gives this message last .


(GTKClient.exe:4143780059): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkgc-win32.c:898: SaveDC failed

Ok, that SaveDC failure may be a trouble.

Thanks for reporting the error.

I'll look into that (maybe in a few days only, sorry, much stuff to do), and will keep you posted here.

Thanks Ryo. I wish there was a better way i could report the error. THat is the only thing that popped up on the sfreen that was inportant.

You'll thank me after i at least have taken the time to look at that trouble

Here is another error code that i got. I did something different and got this error. I also installed the GTK Development Kit into the same directory as the RUntime enviroment kit.

(GTKClient.exe:4293942389): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-win32.c CreateComp
atibleDC failed



I hope that helps some.

I haven't checked yet, but it seems those warnings are GUI resource-related. I think ME, like 95 & 98, has only a limited resource GUI pool. Maybe CF uses too much resources for it to work correctly...
