TNM crashing when I try to run a card...

Justin WPosted on 02/09/07 at 00:13:40

Yes, I have run the diagnostics program. And no, I cannot figure out the error code because TNM crashes too quickly. My wrestler and move count is just fine.

I'm having two problems:
1) After saving a card, and then trying to run it, the game crashes
2) I cannot use the tag team button when setting up a match without the game crashing

They both started happening at the same time, a few days ago.

I'm supposing I'm gonna have to delete this version and download it again. I have the latest version. But is there a way I can save all my files and upload them (cards, ratings, promotions, etc.) intact?

Thanks.

I also forgot to mention, that I have 5 promotions running.

4 of which are affected by this, the 5th (which I created the day after the crashes started) does not have this problem.

If you want to know the error code, open up a command prompt and navigate to the folder and then run TNM and it should show you the code.

Yeah, the actual error code can be a good clue as to what the problem may be.

Did you install/change anything on your computer just before it started crashing?

After the crash, do you cancel the crashed card, or try to continue it?

Also, keep in mind that Oliver is really the only one that knows the inner workings of TNM, and he only reads the boards infrequently. Have you tried e-mailing Oliver directly?

I don't know how to work the command prompt. I just know how to get on the internet.  ;)

I haven't changed anything, and after the card crashed, it had the cancel card/cancel match option and I cancelled the card. I originally tried continuing it but it crashed again.

Yes, I have emailed Oliver. He has not replied.

Thanks anyway!

How to work the command prompt: (WinXp)

Click on start, then run. Type in cmd and hit enter. Navigate to your TNM folder, see example below. Type in tnm and tnm will open and then do what you do that crashes it and post that error here or look for it in the help section.

The folder that you installed TNM7SE to is important when using the command prompt.  If you just installed it to just the C: folder, then that's the folder to go to.

The 'cd' command that Phantom demonstrated is basically a old DOS command that means "go to this folder".

Give it a shot and let us know.

I've seen this bug a few times. Here's how I fix it:

From your Circuit's main screen, go to Edit Circuit-Specific Databases. Then go to Tag Teams, and edit one of the teams. You don't have to make any changes, just enter OK and when TNM asks if you want to save the changes you made, enter Yes.

This seems to make TNM 'rebuild' the circuit's tag team database file, and solves the crashing issue when you hit 'T'.

This technique also worked once when "Choose from Stables" caused a crash. I used the same strategy to make TNM rebuild the circuit-specific stables database, and the crashing stopped.
