Vista Users: Data Execution Prevention
« on: December 05, 2008, 03:47:48 pm »
Hi all,
I was able to get on PlaneShift a week ago after going through hell with the settings and client. After resolving the OPENAL32.dll issue, I still couldn't get in the game. I got the exception access problem on the client, but settings would crash and my system told me that data execution prevention stopped it. I turned data execution prevention off (not sure how dangerous that is, but most places i read said it stopped many legit programs) and lo and behold, both client and settings worked. Must see how it works in the long run, but I thought this might be useful to admins or users.
