Fix for "Runaway loop detected (over 1000000 iterations)"

[earnolmartin]

I've encountered some stability issues playing Tribes Vengeance single player on my AMD Ryzen 8 core machine.  My guess is that my new computer is just too fast for this old game.  

After consulting expert and savior jackfuste from wide screen gaming forum (WSGF), the fix for the below crash:

1.0.1(63446)

Crash Time: 12/11/17 17:19:22

PlayerCharacterController SP-Coliseum-Fuel.PlayerCharacterController0 (Function Gameplay.PlayerCharacterController.PlayerCalcView:00D0) Runaway loop detected (over 1000000 iterations)

Is to add the following flag to your Tribes Vengeance shortcut:

Code:

-norunaway

So, my full shortcut reads:

Code:

"D:\Games\Tribes Revengeance\Tribes Vengeance\Program\Bin\TV_CD_DVD.exe" -console -norunaway

Here's a screenshot:



You may also run into this additional problem if you had to use this fix.
