Roman,
I am encountering a memory access violation error with Alpha 8.2. This error is unique to a favorite landscape being used.
First error:
violation in module "FMS.EXE" Write of address 22208941.
FMS can then be exited, and a second error is displayed:
violation in module "COLDET.DLL" Read of address FFFFFFF9.
Based on experience in working with my colleague who works on the VB and Delphi portion of our system, the addresses where the error occurred have been left out-- the bigger clue is usually with the module name. Based on the address accessed in the second error, there seems to be lost pointer or a near divide by zero operation.
These errors are unique to 8.2; 8.1 was OK. While I do not have the name of the landscape author, the "Ocean Site" files were created in late November and early December of 2003. The hope is one of more of the files can be edited to correct the address violations.
If you do not have access to a copy of OceanSite.zip, let me know how it can be fowarded to you. It is a 1.3M file. If I encounter any other landscape files that cause similar errors, I will let you know.
As always, thanks for all your work in providing us with such a great sim.
