Eventy One Magellan Exploration and Survey	Posted - 2009.03.12 02:55:00 - [1] Is anyone else getting a memdump.txt file in their ~\CCP\EVE\bin\ folder? I login, play, quit. Next time I login I have to delete this damn file again? I hanen't seen any other complaints about it. I assume its a new bug. Thanks.
Eventy One Magellan Exploration and Survey	Posted - 2009.03.12 14:29:00 - [2] No one? I can't be the only one getting this memdump.txt file constantly recreated in my EVE folder.
Lost Hamster Hamster Holding Corp	Posted - 2009.03.12 15:55:00 - [3] Yes, I noticed as well. I created a small script which is deleting the file before starting the game.
Blane Xero Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2009.03.12 15:56:00 - [4] Are you using the AA ATI vbscript posted about on these forums a while back? ______________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008
Najenna Minmatar Minmatar and Gallente Association	Posted - 2009.03.12 15:59:00 - [5] I am also getting it. It appears on my desktop after I log off Eve. I am running Windows Xp Professional and useing Geforce FX 5500 graphics.
Satrani Destiva Just Another Indy Corp Delinquent Habits	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:10:00 - [6] Getting this also. Not quite on a par with the boot.ini **** up but stil rather annoying. Nvidia 8600 GT here. Wierd thing is it's only reared it's head today. I have logged in and out with 5 accounts since patch day but not had this prob until about ten minutes before this post. reason I found this post was I get stuck at the black entering game as.. screen. I tried logging in and out a few times and tried a few things but nothing seemed to work so thought I'd look for a post on the prob. This looked interesteing so I clicked and 2 minutes later I get the memdump issue Twilight zone music starts. Not a huge problem but please Jim (CCP) could you fix it for me to play internet spaceships today as I have excess agression I need to release. -
Eventy One Magellan Exploration and Survey	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:11:00 - [7] I'm running Nvidia too (NVIDIA 7900 GTX).
Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Ignition.	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:20:00 - [8] Edited by: Grez on 12/03/2009 16:22:31 Quick fix: Create a batch file. To do this, open notepad. Enter this text: -Start / do not copy this- @ECHO OFF cd C: cd C:\CCP\EVE\bin DEL memdump.txt cd .. start eve.exe -End / do not copy this- Where C: is the drive EVE is installed to, and CCP\EVE\bin is the location of your bin directory. Save file as "EVE.bat" to desktop or wherever. If the file ends up looking like "EVE.bat.txt", just remove the .txt on the end. If you cannot see the .txt, then you will need to enable "Show extension on files" in your Folder View options in the control panel. Place it on your desktop. Run it any time you want to start EVE. Problem solved. --- Have a rawr on me.
Sleepkevert Amarr Rionnag Alba Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:22:00 - [9] Try and bug report this if you have the time and the know how. (there is an excellent how to down in the game development forum). The more people that bug report this, the faster it gets fixed. _ Add your own line!
Eventy One Magellan Exploration and Survey	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:23:00 - [10] As much as I appreciate your coding skills .. and your suggested batch file ... we shouldn't have to do this. I'm hoping CCP has heard other reports about this, looked into and is aware of the problem, working on a fix. EVE shouldn't be dumping memory .. if that's what the "memdump" is. Living with bug's is one thing, fixing them quit another. I know which I prefer.

Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Ignition.	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:25:00 - [11] Edited by: Grez on 12/03/2009 16:26:10 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. --- Have a rawr on me.
Cypherous Minmatar Liberty Rogues CORPVS DELICTI	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:29:00 - [12] 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]
Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Ignition.	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:31:00 - [13] Edited by: Grez on 12/03/2009 16:33:02 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. I've been on SiSi for quite some time, and I gave this exact batch file script to those having the issue then. It is, and remains to be, an OS issue - not a problem with EVE. This does not mean that CCP will not release a patch to most probably work around the issue though. --- Have a rawr on me.

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]
Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Ignition.	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:34:00 - [15] 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 ;) --- Have a rawr on me.
Klandi Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:39:00 - [16] Edited by: Klandi on 12/03/2009 16:40:47 Edited by: Klandi on 12/03/2009 16:39:43 XP SP3 here, file is in documents and settings\%name%\Local\ dir. It is always a empty file - believe it is for the case when(if) Eve crashes to desktop - it will populate the file. But we will only know if a blue guy comes along and puts us out of our respective speculative miseries ...

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]
Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Ignition.	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:41:00 - [18] Edited by: Grez on 12/03/2009 16:41:23 First time I've heard of it being in there, and the SiSi thread was quite full... If you delete it, does EVE re-create it? A LOT of programs use "memdump.txt", so it might not be EVE creating it. Originally by: Cypherous Yes god forbid there be issues with a 64-bit operating system running a 32-bit application in a very ugly compatability mode That's exactly what I thought/think is happening. --- Have a rawr on me.
Klandi Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:42:00 - [19] and it is recreated every time I change the settings .....
Eventy One Magellan Exploration and Survey	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:43:00 - [20] Edited by: Eventy One on 12/03/2009 16:45:16 Err ... I'm not running Vista though .. I'm running winXP/64 , and for me it recreates it every time I log out.

Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Ignition.	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:46:00 - [21] Edited by: Grez on 12/03/2009 16:46:40 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 Ah, now that peaks an interest. So it's most probably a 64bit issue then. And I was set for a right Vista file-handling bashing too! Khandi, you also on 64bit? Or perhaps installed to a separate drive than C: ? --- Have a rawr on me.

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]
Drykor Minmatar Tribal Liberation Force	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:52:00 - [23] Err I'm running vista 64 bit as well, that file is in my eve folder but who cares? it's 0 bytes and bothering no one. Now if it would appear on my desktop like someone said, I'd get annoyed.
Taedrin Gallente Golden Mechanization Protectorate	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:52:00 - [24] I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and am NOT getting this problem. Granted I only have 4 GB of memory anyways, so if it is indeed a 64-bit memory issue then it wouldn't show up on my system.
Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Ignition.	Posted - 2009.03.12 16:53:00 - [25] Edited by: Grez on 12/03/2009 16:54:41 Originally by: Drykor Err I'm running vista 64 bit as well, that file is in my eve folder but who cares? it's 0 bytes and bothering no one. Now if it would appear on my desktop like someone said, I'd get annoyed. Any extra files in the bin folder makes EVE stop on start-up until its removed. @Taedrin, Windows 7 has a very, very nice compatibility mode. Most probably why it's working fine. So... So far we have a few Vista 64bit users with it. A few XP 64bit users with it. W7 64bit seems to work fine. Any XP 64bit users not getting it? --- Have a rawr on me.

But for the sake of a silly bug - I'm still hoping CCP has some ideas .. the bright sparks that they seem to be ..
