...for those of you just joining me now, check out my previous problems.

Anyways, the solution that obviously presented itself was reinstalling GameStudio. So, having (luckily) found the Key.EXE file still present on my hard-drive, I tried to reinstall.

1. Download the trial-version.

2. Run the Key.EXE file within the folder with the trial-version.

3. I then upgraded to version 6.6.

Aaahh! The sweet smell of fresh, new programs. So, I pop open the techdemo. Compile it... (Low settings, don't want it to take 3 hours.)
Run it... *Beep!*
Uh oh! That beep scared me! But it might be alright....

Code:

---

Error E1513
Crash in main: render_inflate=0.5
*OK* *Cancel*

---

I guess not. Ok... uh oh, more errors.
The errors following the first one say:
(All are error E1513)

Crash in message_startup: str_cpy(startup_str, blank_str)

After left-clicking once:

Crash in weapon_fire: weapon_firing=1

After pressing F1:

Crash in game_help: FREEZE_MODE=1

After right-clicking:

Crash in mouse_toggle: MOUSE_MODE+=2


All of these occur with OK or Cancel buttons, where Cancel terminates the program. Oh, and the screen is completly black during this time.

I'm sure I could press more buttons, and spark similar errors, but the gist of it is this: Error E1513 occurs with the running of the basic template code.

Obviously, this is more than annoying; it's a final straw.

Searching around online, I discovered that E1513 occurs when there is bad C-Script code in a function, such as division by 0, or the square-root of a negative number.

If anyone has any even vague idea how to solve this problem, or what causes it, please say so.

I am writing a letter to Conitec to express my concerns, also.

Fix the first error first. Sometimes one error will cause a chain reaction...

How? I don't know what's causing the first error. I didn't write the script for the techdemo, and there's still a problem.

Error E1513: Crash in...
A crash happened due to bad script code in a certain function, like a division by 0 or a square root of a negative number. Note that such Errors are only caught and indicated in the development engine. In the distributable version they will just crash the program.

I hope it will help... but don't think so

Thanks, but that was the source I was referring to in my post. That error could be fixable, but the error is within the templates, so everything fails.

Hey I have the same error! They come with all of my scripts since I've updated to A6.6, they happen with any Script-Command that is used. So every command in the main function and all startup functions causes this error, and every command that is started through pressing a key. There are no syntax errors in the code with A6.5 everything worked fine. I have A7.03 Beta installed seperatly and it's the same with the A7 Engine expect for the carlevel that is included in the A7 content. This works ok, but any other projects doesn't work!

Solved! Thanks to Tobias.

May be this will help you too:

Q: I have recently reinstalled Windows / upgraded to a new PC. Now Gamestudio doesn't work anymore. I get a crash as soon as I start any project.
A. Check how the DEP (data execution prevention) is set in your Windows configuration. Go to My Computer / Properties / Advanced / Performance / Settings / Data Execution Prevention, and make sure that it's in its default setting ("For essential Windows programs and services only"). If you have a German computer, it's Arbeitsplatz / Eigenschaften / Erweitert / Systemleistung / Datenausführungsverhinderung, and must be set at "nur für erforderliche Windows-Programme und -Dienste aktivieren".
