@pmerczel
You seem to have the original game and not the Collectors Edition. Have you tried it with the original release 1.0 installed?

The game doesn't store, as far as I know, any of the settings (Options) in the Windows registry.

OK, first, I have a Win 8.1 Pro 64bit.

I uninstalled the game via Control Panel...
Rebooted
Deleted the remaining files and folder "Slitherine" from Program files (x86)
Deleted the My Games Folder in Documents.
Rebooted
Installed original (Dec. download) of Armageddon.
Rebooted
Started app and was able to access Options. went in several times, different ways (in game, from launch panel, etc), even exited out of the app and rebooted several times. Made multiple changes with no issues.
Works fine.

Installed patch 1.03 (manually from exe)
Again tested with no issues (except for some link labels (ie: IDS_Quit, IDS_Options, etc)
Options panel still worked fine.

Again, rebooted and installed Patch 1.06 (again, manually from exe)
At this point The Options panel wouldn't load and I'd get the exception.
Note: previous settings are still working, so this at-least was retained.

Hope this helps

Glad to be of help.
I don't have .04 or .05 patch to test, but if you'd like, please let me know where to download and I'd be glad to test.

Have fun,
Peter

FYI, it seems I'm also getting a Access violation error/Exception if I've selected the option "unmoved units warning". I'd select this before updating from 1.03, again after the update (1,04 or later), options still fail.

I'd start getting crashes around the 4th tutorial.

Thanks

Tried running as administrator, resetting permissions, checking system for errors, making fresh installs, nothing worked. This is irritating, I had no problem running the standard version but the CE can't even run.

Anyone has a solution? Or at least an idea? I can't run the game because of a single font!

Update:

I seem to have found a solution. I used an online font converter to convert every caslon-antique font to .ttf format and replaced them even though they already were on that format and now the game runs, hopefully that's the end of it. But I still want to know why the Collectors Edition is giving so many problems?

Ok, it turned out that a font file in UI/fonts is 'magicaly' locked after installation of the Collector Edition. The issue is addressed to installation team, and will be fixed in 1.09 patch.
Meanwhile you can try to fix it manually:
- copy the content of UI/fonts to backup folder
- delete all files from UI/fonts
- if you can not delete a file bacause file is locked, try to use Unlocker http://filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
It may not detect the lock handler, but it will allow you to delete the file no matter what.
- copy the content of backup folder back to UI/fonts
- report if it helped

Thank you for the reply, I have been using unlocker and replacing the fonts to deal with that as you suggested. However, the problem continues to appear from time to time, necessitating the caslon-antique fonts to be replaced each time (I haven't had any problem with the others).

Hi ShiftZ,

i have posted a few times here but did not get a response. Could you please take a look at the tech support thread i started in which i described the crash problem i'm having. All i want to know is if this is the same font-problem or another issue. Thanks.

Can you spot any pattern in this reoccurence of the problem? Does it resume after reset for example? Also: if you run the game via launcher, will the issue resurface if you run it directly (ArmageddonGame.exe)?

Only pattern I've noticed is that this happens every few days. I launch the game from ArmageddonGame.exe but what is weird is I rename the old ones to caslon-antique old and when I try to delete them, I still get the permission problem so I have to run the game once with the new copy of the fonts and the old ones in place before I can delete the old ones.
