Yes
I have been having some trouble running Sapien.As soon as it open it closes,(after I run the scenario file) It just automatically closes. I'm running Windows 8.1 With a dual core processor But its not the affinity thing.Any help would be great as I am an aspiring Mapper

go to your halo root folder and look for debug txt
copy the last entry in the file and paste it here

90% of the time is is simply some misplaced tags

Thanks for the help.I am also running a 64 bit if that helps

That was the bottom of tne text file? Hmmmm i would try running as admin or moving your install to somewhere like your desktop or documents. The hek seems to not like UAC

Admin doesn't work.And what's UAC?

User Account Controls. You should disable them.

I disabled them, so that it was at never. Still nothing works. :(

Darn. Did you add anything to Guerilla before you opened up the level in Sapien?

Naw.I'm thinking it could be a windows 8 problem :(

Where is heap_dump?

Run it in compatibility mode with Windows xp (Service pack 3) or try setting it to one core.
Edit :

[To set it to one core, Courtesy of GBXsoftware]

1) Run Sapien in Windows 98 Compatibility mode. (through properties)
2) At scenario prompt: Go to task manager->processes. Right click sapien.exe->set affinity. Set to 0 or 1, not both.

get an os that isnt crap. im sorry

Um can you help wif my new problem?

Ok, but n a lot of video's i see them moving around a map.How can I do this?

That would be the 'game window' . It usually is minimized, so you have to drag it out a bit. Also what the post above mine said, Middle mouse button and shift speeds up the camera.

Just wanted to put in my two cents:

UAC in windows 8 & 8.1 CANNOT be disabled completely like in Windows Vista and Windows 7, at least not through the control panel. Many legacy apps have trouble with UAC, and a nice contingency in prior Windows OS's was to disable UAC. The only way to do this in windows 8+ is to modify a registry value.

If you're like me, you want absolute control of your computer and greatly dislike being questioned by your computer. Maybe it provides a safety net for some users, but for the way I use computers, it's just plain annoying.

Here's how to disable UAC in Windows 8:
WARNING: DISABLING UAC COMPLETELY PREVENTS METRO/WINDOWS STORE APPS FROM OPENING!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

1.) Open regedit (Windows Key + R > 'regedit')

2.) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

3.) Change EnableLUA to 0

4.) Restart.

Now you are no longer plagued by UAC.

Hope this helps
------------------------------------------------------
Now just as a side note, all of the 'hate' directed towards Windows 8 & 8.1 is completely misguided. I have been a Microsoft user for almost 2 decades, and do I love the changes they've made to Windows 8?
Well actually, yeah... I DO love MOST of them...

Completely rewritten I/O management makes file management operations blazingly fast, and I consider Windows 8 to be the most robust and speedy yet. Furthermore, the interface is tremendous on touchscreen devices and tablets, and I find Windows 8 to be the most cohesive yet.

I will qualify my 'fanboy-ism' and say that I abhor the new Start screen, and have completely disabled it via Start8 so my start menu works like previous versions of windows. Yes, I consider this a problem, but the backlash seems to have been so great that Windows 9 will include the traditional start menu. Also, you can no longer disable desktop composition, which renders apps like HEK+ unusable in Windows 8. In all fairness, HEK+ is made rather poorly IMO anyways, but you do miss the ability to disable desktop composition.

All in all, I found the pro's to heavily outweigh the con's; basically the speed increase alone outweighs the cons. To be completely honest, I find the general backlash against Windows 8 (especially on these forums) to be childish and just a blatant display of archaism.

Anyways, I digress...
