Help with error message
« on: October 21, 2009, 11:35:28 am »
I found my SFC CD and decided to fire it up for old time's sake. I saw that the new patch required a clean install, so I decided to install it as well.

When I first fired it up, my mouse didn't work. My 2nd time, I got all the way to the mission briefing screen of the first mission in the Klingnon scenario. I got the following error message when the mission was just about to load:

Unhandled Exception! in Version 1.01 Build 534

which patch are you using?

You should be using the patch from

http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163344600.0.html

"You still don't get it, do you?......That's what he does. That's all he does! You can't stop him! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!"
