Mapstocalypse Phantom problem

Post by SoupaVedg »

I got this little weird problem with Mapstoc.

Whenever I open it, it show some of the races name, but some spaces are blank. If I close and open it again, it's not the same races that are blank or of which the name appears. Anybody had this problem before?

If so, anybody know how to repair it?

Forget about MapStockalypse. Just open RACES.TXT w/ Notepad and edit manually.

I don't know why people need a tool to change a line of text. lazy bastard :P

Well i know about this problem :lol: This apeared when i got a new PC... It's to an unknow bug whitch misbehaves with dualcore processor.

But then I discovered another trick to avoid this but it's tricky enough :smile: You ether have to lauch it via another app like cmd.exe but before doing it you must set the processor affinity for this "laucher"... Doing this on process itself after it starts doesn't help much... Or make a laucher whitch would do it for you. In newer windows version there should be compatibility mode whitch would supposedly do this to you but i didn't test it...

And don't forget to cd to the dir where your app resides (e.g. game dir)
