Hello,

Thanks for suggesting that profile path to the game but when ever I make a profile, I always check the path to the executable. I had it set to the correct one (age3y.exe).

This still does not work and I convince this is some sort of bug but since the developers cannot recreate it and no one has any ideas on how to fix it I am out of luck.

Wish it would work some how but have no idea what to provide for feed back on the problem. Is there any more debug info that can help? I really, really would like this program to work like it did a few months ago. My hard is basically (only the video card, sound card, and DVD have been changed) the same as back then and it still does not work!!

Thanks,
Dyslextic

I am at a loss to explain why Game Jackal worked for roachslayer and not for you, unfortunately. Both of you are using Vista 64 bit edition.

A new Game Jackal beta will be coming out shortly according to matthew. You can check to see if that will help you, but I suspect there's something else that's amiss.

Perhaps matthew will also comment on whether he feels changing "multiprocessor options" in Game Jackal might help your situation.

Hello,

Ok, so I download the GameJackel beta version 3.116 and did the standard routine I have now for GameJackel. I uninstall the old and rebooted. I then install the new beta and rebooted. I then created a new profile with advance logging check. After playing the game for around 30 minutes, I exit the game. GameJackel took about 2 seconds to created a profile. When I run the GameJackel profile, it fails!!!! Just like all the other times, over and over this thing fails. The game keeps asking to insert the CD.

I have once more attached the summary log and a screen shot of the sectors tab on the performance and reliability wizard for all the good it will do.

Sorry if I seems a little frustrated but for several months now I have been trying to get the program to work and no luck! Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!

--> my head hurt

~Thanks

Hello,

NEWS flash ... I got the profile to work for Age of Empires III - The Asian Dynasties. How I do it, I plugged in my external USB DVD-RW drive and had GameJackel created the profile form that. IT work!!!! Wow... this is unbelievable I have a working GameJackel again - at least for the moment.

This still make me believe that there is a bug of some sort in GameJackel as it will not created a profile from my internal DVD burner. I wonder if it has to do with the drive letters. My external drive letter came up as "F" and the internal drive letter is "D". Plus I have a 2nd hard disk drive that is drive "E".

Maybe some how GameJackel is getting the drive letters confused or it wants the DVD drive letter to be after all hard disk drive letters?

Yap, that really is odd but I have at least made a profile that works and I have tested it once. I going to play around some more before I deiced if all it 100% but for the moment it seems to be work!

Oh, the other thing that is wired is the secotrs capture of the work profile looks nothing like the ones I have posted here. It very odd, like GameJackel could not read the DVD drive correctly?

Would the developer like any more debug/information/screen shot of this odd problem?

No more my head again the wall I hope

~Thanks

We will keep working on GJ... so if you could test new versions with your internal drive that would be great.

FYI - There is no need to play the game when capturing, just starting the game and exiting is fine.

maybe they SHOULD look in to that - as the problemst hat I have been reporting in 3114, 3115, 3116 are on a PC with has C drive and an always-on USB J drive, with DVD letters in-between on D & E.

my other PCS, where 3115 worked, have the hard drive letters before the DVD drive letters. MY Vista PC has C & D hard drive, E & F dvd, and my dell 5150c has jsut a C drive and a DVD combi D drive.

Hello,

Well after some more testing, it seems that as long as I used the external USB DVD-RW drive (which get pickup as drive "F") I can make profiles that work with out issues. I did try changing the drive letters around (make my DVD drive "E" and my second hard disk drive "d") but that did not fix the problem, as I still cannot created a working profile from the internal drive. Humm wonder if I should make the internal DVD-RW drive "F" - I try that in the next few days and see what happens.
