Get an Error everytime i try and start a game
every time I try and play a game when it loads the game just crashes. I posted the error I get every time I try and play. I looked through the forums, and tried 16bit, I downloaded the game manually and I also tried downloaded just the launcher and installing it that way and both fail to work. I am out of Ideas, any suggestions would help, I would really like to play this Mod again.
Would help if you clarify your operating system and conditions run in.
The error message by itself is really not useful at all unlike except.txt potentially. QUICK_EDIT
Like ApollTD said, we're going to need more info than just a secreenshot of the error dialog.
As soon as the error has happened again, please upload the EXCEPT.TXT and DTA.LOG files here and then we can further look into the cause of this.
Also, have you tried running the game as administrator already? _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Windows 8,
Tried Run as Admin
Tried Run in 16 bit and 8bit
Its in window mode like it should for windows 8
Tried compatibility mode
Tried installing with and without music.
It wont let me upload the DTA log it says its not allowed so here it is copy and pasted.

This seems like a strange error; according to CCHyper it's related to either the power button or sell button on the sidebar, but since no one else is getting this error, there can't be anything wrong with the mod's files on the server at least.
In case the files are somehow corrupted on your hard drive, one thing you could try is opening the MIX folder and deleting the Side01.mix, Side02.mix, Side03.mix and Side04.mix files, then make sure your virus scanner/firewall is turned off (just in case) and then starting the launcher.
This should make the "Version mismatch detected" dialog appear, asking you if you wish the repair your DTA installation. Click Yes to let it redownload those files you just deleted and then start the game to see if it still crashes.
If it does still crash, one last thing you could try (just to confirm that the issue is not caused by the spawner) is to make a copy of dta.dat, rename the copy to dta.exe and then start the game via that. Just try starting a skirmish match from there and then report back to let us know whether it worked or not (try it both with the Bases option enabled and disabled). _________________ QUICK_EDIT
sadly I tried all those options you requested in the post and I still get same crash no matter what I do as soon as the game begins to load to start playing the match it crashes. QUICK_EDIT
