iGame hangs when not opening some WHDLoad error windows

[gustavosarmento]

For months I have an issue with iGame, where some games crash back to the iGame window, and it's freezed, with no action possible.

Now I found what happens: when running the game (for example: Death or Glory) directly from workbench, it crashes at the same point, but then I can see the respective WHDLoad error window (on this specific case, "Exception Address Error ($200c)", but it happens with others too).

Somehow, when running from iGame, some WHDLoad error windows aren't appearing, needing a system reboot.

My system is an A1200 with TF1260, KS 3.2.2, MUI 3.8 and latest iGame and WHDLoad as of today.

Hope there's a way to fix it.

Thank you for your message. Can you please let me know:

• what version of the OS are you using?
• how much memory your system has and what kind of CPU? Is it an AGA or ECS/OCS system?
• Do you know the reason why this error is happening? Is it a missing kickstart or something else?
• How could I reproduce this failure?
• Is there an older version of iGame that didn't freeze after such an error?

Let's go:

• OS 3.2.2 (Workbench and Kickstart - no soft kick);
• 2 MB Chip, 128 MB Fast, 68060 (full), AGA;
• Enabling the NOCACHE tool type gets rid of the error. All needed Kickstarts on DEVS:Kickstarts;
• Try this game (http://ftp.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/Retroplay%20WHDLoad%20Packs/Commodore_Amiga_-_WHDLoad_-_Games/D/DeathOrGlory_v1.0_De.lha). It happens on my 060 system, so I don't know if it also happens on 040 or 030;
• This issue has happened for quite a while at least, but I can't pinpoint since when, unfortunately.

Nice machine you have there.
I will try to reproduce it and see how this can be avoided. Will let you know as soon as I have any news.
