HW2 is busted! I think it's just mad because I've been neglecting it or something, but I reinstalled and it still does it. I wouldnt' care, but I want to try out some interesting mods... is there a tool to purge HW2 from the registry? Any ideas at all what the problem is?

Insufficient data.

*huge embarrassed smiley*

I am teh 5toop1d! For some crazy reason, I had a homeworld2.exe in the /hw2 directory, and was executing with that, and not the one in hw2/bin/release. That'll do it every time

False alarm... deleting all evidence would be great, who suggested that?

Then again, has anyone had problems using .lua mods for HW2? Everytime I run HW2 with the -overrideBigFile switch with .lua scripts in the data directory I get a black-screen crash. Am I supposed to wait for 5 minutes plus? Am I doing it wrong?

An entry point is the beginning of the instruction block in the executable code. In this case either a dll is missing or corruped. Or the game executable is placed in the wrong directory.

Yeah, I worked out my mistake by searching for the .dll that the error referenced. Damn non-root exes
