Aborts when goes to write to disk

Fri Sep 02, 2011 4:27 pm

All of a sudden, when I am in a game and go to save a scenario, it aborts to the desk top. I think this started when I tried to play a newly downloaded scenario. I am wondering if the new scenario needed the 1.06 patch, which I was too chicken to try and download. Also the autosave file seems to have gotten corrupted. In any case I am not able to play my favorite game. Help!

I assume you're playing Coast to Coast 1.05? If so, a game written and saved from 1.06 won't even show up in your list of scenarios when you start a new scenario. Do you have anti-virus software turned off? Which scenario in particular were you playing? I can check and see if it plays OK on my installation.

What Operating System are you running?

I may be wrong but your hard disk could also be corrupted. Things like those happened to me when my Samsung F1 HDD (and a little later) OCZ Vertex 3 SSD died. First the computer slowed down in some operations, then I noticed that I had corrupted files and programs therefore crashed, etc. Later the disks died. Overclocking can also cause symptoms like that (data corruption).

Sorry I should have updated this before I went out of town for the long weekend. I want to thank all those who spent their good time and efforts on this.
I have resolved the problem by uninstalling RRT3, reinstalling off the original CD, then downloading and installing Coast to Coast and V105. I've run a couple of short games since with no problems.
Now I want to research what is V106, and is it safe to download and run? Again thanks to those who posted reply questions so quickly.

Is the 1.06 patch safe? Yes! Of course it's safe.

I would recommend reading this thread on multiple installs though.
