Cannot Create Player

by John Murray · in General Game Discussion · 03/27/2003 (10:54 pm) · 10 replies

I just purchased Chain Reaction v1.2.0.2. I can play the tutorials fine, but when I try to play the regular levels I cannot get past the sign in screen. The game will not let me type in a name.

My OS is Windows XP Home.

Sorry about this. I just released that version and I introduced the bug. I'll fix it right now and get you a new patch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Chris,

Does the patch include the XP/DX9 fix?

Yeah, that's why I posted it. Though I made a mistake by not testing it better. I've made some sweeping changes to the Reaction Engine, which had some spurious effects. Dohh!

Thomas,

The patch is ready but the webmaster has not yet put it on the site. It's only 8:30AM here so it may be another hour or so. I'll drop a note on this forum when it's up.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

OK the version 1.3.0.0 is available. Among other things, it fixes the sign-in bug introduced last week. It is also a performance upgrade and should remove many crashes.

You can grab it by going to your My Garage page and downloading Chain Reaction again.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
