I think you’re wrong. Graves is a guy, Weebo is a crab, Deceth is the overlord and Wahoogie. Well that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.
I don’t think that Graves compilation of the code is currently the one that’s available for download.
Yeah, I know. I first joined this game in 2006, and I’ve been on and off all through to 2012. All clients I was able to run with no issues until this one.
I had to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012.
Again, I really hope this is resolved soon and I hope you can be patient enough for the client to be fixed.
Hopefully, Graves will be able to fix it with Deceth’s fix.
When you download it, do you know what it installs and where? I’d imagine it installs different .dll files which you’d have to copy them into your battlecity directory.
Still can’t say for sure, you’ll have to get confirmation from Deceth.
Have you tried Deceth’s potential fix for Windows XP users?
Read his post. I’m not entirely sure if Graves is supposed to download the update from supportxp or if the XP users are. I would download it anyway, and hope that @Deceth (who should now) respond and correct me.
Hopefully Graves can get a Windows XP compatibility client going soon rather than having new players and old players going through all of this trouble.
I think the best way for a newbie to learn after they’ve learnt the basics is to join a city that’s occupied by someone with experience. I’d be more than happy to take in a newbie, I should be able to deal with them and hopefully they’ll pick a few things up as I attack and defend against another city.
Like you said, I don’t think it would be fair to have a newbie just be ultimately dominated by players who don’t care if they’re newbie. We’d have to give them some time to learn before we could go all out, thus why I think it would be best for a newbie to join someone else and learn from experience.
What does everyone think of a games night?
Hey guys.
Assuming most of you will hopefully fix your client soon enough, I know that they are a select few of us that can currently play the game. Deceth recently linked quite possibly a fix for the Windows XP users (@ArcValor, @LMGx50) which will hopefully resolve their issue and they’ll be in the battlefield not long from now!
I’ve been really eager to get back into Battlecity. I’m not going to lie, right now my city has been standing for 41 hours with 4 orbs at a bounty of 70 points. I’ve had a few matches with OldSchool. At first, he was a bit rusty but I must say he’s picked up the game really fast and he’s back into it. My last battle with him was much, much harder.
With my attentions focused on Battlecity due to my holidays, I’m on almost all the time. I’ve got a Moderator account which I would love to use to setup events. Which brings me to my next proposal – A games night / morning / afternoon.
It’s been talked about before not only here but on other forums during other years. I did briefly setup an events day in 2010 which didn’t turn out well because I struggled to wake up on a sunday morning at 6 AM during school terms. I can see this working, and we don’t even have to do events. It could be an all-out war against each other, it could be anything. Myself, @deceth, @graves, @arcvalor, @lmgx50, @riseagainst, @insaneinmybrain, @cseow, @rushing, @nightwish, @lakmobes, @incyte, @antster297, @hotdiggydoggy, @platypus, @flash and more could just all get on one night and have a tank-load of fun.
Oh yeah, I was reading the announcements from about 2005/2006 and well before Deceth overthrew Weebo, Weebo talked about how BattleCity gained a huge amount of players through http://www.free-games.com.au. You could vote for Battlecity here http://www.free-games.com.au/Detailed/1423.html. I don’t know what voting could achieve right now – I’ve got no idea where Battlecity sits on that table, but I’m sure if a large number of us started voting, we might attract some new members.
Someone has to explain to me what format I have to use to hyperlink things through text, [bold]text[/bold] etc. I think I use to know…
I really want to help resolve this issue ASAP. Two players more to play with if I can!
@Graves is probably the most help you could have right now. He knows a lot more than I do.
Alright I’ve done a bit of research.
There’s a possibility that the .exe is trying to run the files from the wrong directory. You may need to make sure you’re BattleCity.exe. I’m not entirely sure you can change this directly.
You may want to look a bit into the following links for solutions.

I don’t know if this will be much of help since it’s in the reserve, but I’ll throw it in for you.
You only need the following files in your Battlecity directory.
MSVCP71.dll
MSVCP110.dll
MSVCR71.dll
MSVCR110.dllNote the P at the end of the first two. Make sure you have them.
Check list;
You’re running Windows XP?
You’re running 32bit?
You’ve placed the downloaded .dll files into your BattleCity directory?
Maybe I can add you on skype and guide you through it, and / or do it through teamviewer.
BLARHG!
Photoshop decided to crash as I was saving the new file. Nothing irritates me more than putting a good amount of effort into a project (Even as small as this one, and as easy) and then have it crash. I was trying to put a similar effect over the two icons so it’d be somewhat similar to the current items with their snowy effect.
Oh and uh, if you get on in the next few hours and I’m sitting on the server, but not doing anything – I’ve probably fell asleep on my desk. I’ll try to keep awake, it shouldn’t be much of an issue.
Looking for to more orbing goodness. Also, just to update the skin to the more modern Battlecity I’m probably going to move the cloak and flares skin ontop of the original walkie-talkie and lazer skins just so it prevents confusion. I know it’ll be client side but I’ll just release the image file without any problems. 🙂
