Ugly crash at quit

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Ugly crash at quit

hi all,

my game is suddenly starting to crash when i quit. until recently all was running fine, but now when i compile and quit it crashes with;

IDE.EXE caused fault #c0000005 in RUNTIME.DLL

i have checked and it is getting right up until the END command, then crashing sometime after that. i have a fairly old version of Blitz3D (IDE V1.73 - Linker V1.64 - Runtime V1.73), but as i said it has worked fine right up until now.

any ideas on this?
cheers,

Sorry but I really don't see the point in reporting problems with a two-year old version of Blitz.

Why don't you just update to the latest version and see if the problem is still there?

Did you recently update your drivers, for you video card? I got strange problems when trying to run blitz. It was NVidia drivers that did it. Rolled back and all was fine.

yeah, good point. sorry about that. my drivers are fine, as i said it has only just started happening. i guess i was more after a response as to what might cause it, and if it was common in general. i will update.
