Originally by: Grez Edited by: Grez on 12/03/2009 16:27:25 It's an issue with Vista being a dumb **** when it comes to handling files.
memdump.txt is meant to be in the parent folder to /bin/. eve.exe is actually a shell for ExeFile.exe, which is in the bin folder. Vista just see's ExeFile.exe running, and assumes it's meant to save in there, when in actual fact, it's meant to be in the folder of the shell program > eve.exe.
Blame Vista, not CCP.
memdump.txt is just a null file. If/when EVE crashes, it dumps what's in its private memory into that file, and then closes. It does this so that if you have a problem, you can submit the file, and they can have a look at the memdump file, to see what was in EVE's memory when it was running.
It contains no private information about you.
Actually you are incorrect, i'm running Vista and the above text file is located where it should be next to eve.exe so please don't just blame an OS when its not at fault. --------- Liberty Rogues Site[/center]

Originally by: Grez Only Vista users are experiencing it. It could be due to administrative rights, or 64bit file paths. Either way - it's a Vista only issue. Regardless of whether or not your Vista install is having the issue, it still remains a Vista only issue.
Well i'm only running x86 Vista Business here and i don't run EVE with admin rights so it has only the standard permissions, i've had more issues with my XP machine than my Vista one with relation to the new expansion but i'm thinking thats more a configuration issue --------- Liberty Rogues Site[/center]

Originally by: Grez Sounds like it's a 64bit issue, as the only people posting in the SiSi thread were users on 64bit Vista. Still remains a Vista issue though ;)
Yes god forbid there be issues with a 64-bit operating system running a 32-bit application in a very ugly compatability mode --------- Liberty Rogues Site[/center]

Originally by: Eventy One Edited by: Eventy One on 12/03/2009 16:44:09 Err ...
I'm not running Vista though ..
I'm running winXP/64
So would seem to be an x64 issue and as i said windows doesn't run x86 apps natively under x64 so switch back unless you're doing anything that actually requires you to need more than 4GB of RAM because you realise a 32-bit application is restricted to 4GB memory max even on x64 ;)
(this applies to windows so don't start spouting other platforms :P ) --------- Liberty Rogues Site[/center]

My only other option OS-wise, is Linux/64 and Linux is no longer supported .. and the shadow rendering stuff doesn't seem fully supported in OpenGL even the 32-bit libs.
(Classic just worked for me.)
Out of interest why is the x86 Vista option not there, did you buy x64 specifically? --------- Liberty Rogues Site[/center]

I have x64 in both Linux and WinXP for application development.
I could, I suppose, go out and throw some money Micro$oft's way, but that seems to me, to either tarnish my soul and threaten eternity in hell, or be bad for the Karma of the universe (you decide).
I'm sure you could "acquire" a dual boot partition for gaming on >.> --------- Liberty Rogues Site[/center]

Yes - true.
But for the sake of a silly bug - I'm still hoping CCP has some ideas .. the bright sparks that they seem to be ..
Problem is that if its an x64 issue unless they swap the application over to x64 the issue may never be resolved. --------- Liberty Rogues Site[/center]
