I can't even start the game up! I've installed the program and the latest patch, but every time I try to launch the game, i get an error message reading "man.exe has generated errors and must be closed by windows.", which it then promptly does. Is this problem fixable, or is it just that my pc isn't strong enough to run the game or somethin? It is strong enough, I think.

Hello!

Would you please send us an email with all the details of your problem and ma.log file (from the root directory of the
game) plus DxDiag.txt file? Our address is support@massiveassault.com.

I would get that message whenever I went from Video card driver 5216 to 6177 with my nvidia video card. From what I have been able to find out, the only working solution right now is to use the older video driver as the new driver has a different style of settings that MA/MAN has problems with.

This might be your problem as well. Are you using the video driver that was setup from your windows cd, or did you update your video driver to a newer version since March 2004?

sir,
lets try to address your problem 1 step at a time.

1. veryify that your downloading from the site,
www.massiveassaultnetwork.com and not the other sites with the outdated software.

2. download the current 96 meg version.

3. download the patch... www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/download.php current version .211

4. if you are playing trial and not yet a subscriber, then stop here.
play the game. if you have paid, continue to step 5.

5. download the m.a.n. map pack, www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/download.php

5.(A) goto the options, and turn everything off, and set the video options to its lowest setting.

6. connect, and then to get rid of the trial user screen, use the restore feature. be sure to input your user name and password.

7. play the game.

8. when you get a bug, goto the http://www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/support.php web site and then follow the directions listed on the site. and yes ive used them myself.

9. be sure to copy your file ma.log from the massive assaul network folder on your computer to your desktop, so that you can find it easiier when you need to upload to the web page.

10. be sure to include in the addition information your system specs.

11. be patiencent, someone is interested in why it doesnt work on your machine, and if i can play this on a 5 year old laptop, then you will be ok too.

12, see you in game.

13. fyi i uninstall and delete the game off my machine every 3 weeks, just to be sure that i know what im talking about when i tell people how to install the game, i have encounterd just about every error you can find, and a few you cant, i have installed the game 10 ways from sunday, and it still works.

14 see ya in game

Does it work the same way if I have the box game?
