Can't launch WCDX on non-SSE2 processor

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 5 comments

Hello, just wanted to report that I can't launch WCDX on a non-SSE2 processor (tested an AMD Sempron and Intel Celeron, both running Windows XP, nVidia GeForce 5200/5500). Original Kilrathi Saga executable works fine. (But then I wouldn't get your music fix, planets fix, and the poster! :) )

Appreciate all your hard work on this (it works beautifully on my more modern Win10 system)!

Thanks for the report! Is there a specific error message? I don't have an appropriate system for testing; do you feel comfortable making changes yourself? Otherwise, I could try sending you binaries for testing.

Standard "has encountered a problem and needs to close", error report signature wcdx.dll offset: 0000351a ... exception information code 0x000001d (I can get further info off the error windows or possibly screenshots). Happy to test binaries.

Try this one: wcdx-nosse.zip

Thanks, that .DLL did the trick! Success on both machines. Thanks so much! It's been a real adventure getting some stuff going on these old machines. I really appreciate this and your immediate turnaround time! You're a class act!

Glad that helped! I'll be sure and incorporate the change into future releases.
