Question windows 7

is anyone running 3.64 in win 7?
mine runs but crashes when you try to save anything in cedit.

update on my thread.
after more testing I see only the cedit routine crashes the mud when you save on win 7 premium. none of the other editors do it.
I am compiling the tba mud with msvc 2010 express.
will try same version of 2008 and see how it goes.
don't know whats wrong, cedit just seems to call save_file.
maybe it's write permission problems, but it can write all the other files to disk, just not config for some reason. weird.
will try running the mud as admin and see if it helps.

Late reply sorry

I used to run earlier versions of TBAMud on Win7 using Visual Studio.
I would get strange crashes but not the one you described. Mine would crash if I looked at an incapacitated mob or PC for example. When others looked into it they could not reproduce the crash.

Now I run it on Win8.1 but using Cygwin.
You can pick up Netbeans for free and this is very similar to Visual Studio in terms of features and feel.

It is worth a look in as you can use commands like copyover from in-game, which I find invaluable.

well, I never found out what it was, but I was compiling with msvc 2010 express. and switched to same version but the 2008 edition. and all problems went away. weird.
so, it was something with the 2010 and win7

I use Cygwin to run tbamud and I have actually had no problems. I just downloaded everything that it said in the category. I don't know about windows 8.1 though. If I get a new computer I'm probably going to revert it back to windows 7.
