I just today, reinstalled tw2002, it seemed fine entering my registration data, then when i went to set up a bigbang, my Tw2002 disappeared.

So i finished my big bang info out and exited, then restarted tw2002.

I went to do some tedit changes, and crashed again!

theres no error, tw2002 just disappears.

i tried reinstalling a different version, same thing.

twgs? what version? what OS do you run? (these are things smart people will want to know, i just try to help them out)

Slim

yep, i forgot those things tech-geeks need, so here we gooo!

XP - Professional, Service Pack 1
2x 240 gig HD's
2048 megs ram

Background Processes:
Spy Sweeper
Zone Labs Security

Tradewars 2002 v1.03

Is this tw2002 v1.03 or TWGS v1.03? There is a BIG difference.

TWGS v1.03

its weird, soon as i stop the server, few seconds later, it crashes. some tiems it takes 2-3 minutes to close the program completely, as my computer acts if its locked up
long as the server runs, its fine. very weird to me.

Weird, I have never heard of something like that happening. Try deleting any game data in your trade wars directory (tw1, tw2, etc) and then reopening it and starting fresh.

beats me, i never in 5+ years had tech problems with TW, im guessing its an OS problem, or related. Ill try to figure out the problem and report incase anyone else has it.

Okay I had a similar problem with my TWGS, try going to administration tools open services, and check how the telnet is setup. If it is started then stop it, but do not disable it, sometimes when the services telnet is started it conflicts with the TWGS, I had figured it out after JP and I couldn't figure out why TWgs was giving me the similar problem. I hope this helps you on this.
