I no longer can export. Fix this, please!

[Hblade]

Thanks kodo, thats a good post. We have to find a way to fix this, somehow...

[Clokio]

Perhaps another key to the puzzle? -

Hblade and I have both had our games be blocked by a malware threat by avira. I know for sure that my computer has no malware on it because I scan it every week. Nor am I the least bit smart enough to engineer any malware of any kind! Nor would I want to for that matter.
We are both on Windows 7, and we are both getting a crash from GE.

This leads me to two theories:

1: The .ged is getting corrupted during export, causing it to be suspicious to some programs.
2: The files are being corrupted by the site's file upload javascript. Lots of people have been having trouble with it lately.
3: Problem with zipping, or compressing. This would not direct the problem at exporting.

This should be tested some way. Since Kodo's been having this export problem too, he could post an .exe and someone with avira could test it. That way, it could be proved/disproved. We also need to know what file compressing utility is used. My file in question was zipped with 7zip.

This may be lead to more clues, or it could lead to more questions. I hope this is at least somewhat useful.

7zip is often see as a malware . Get zipgenious instead.

I've just tried running GE in XP compatability mode and it now exports fine.

Can you show the full path where you are exporting the game?

E:\Inogames 2011\Firetop_Mountain\iPhone Export

But I do still get crashes when exporting, just it seems to take a while (several/many exports) before it starts crashing.

This happened to me when I was exporting a large .ged.
I just left it and finally it worked!

i am using 64 bit windows and have this problem sometimes too, i believe it is due to where the file is being exported to because when i choose where it goes it works fine, but if i load a new ged and try to export without choosing place, it crashes.

I know its an older post but I must confirm that when I use gE in windows 7 64bit it does act a little strange. Random crashes seem to happen more frequently. And it has crashed several times on export BUT! I also got it to export fine running with compatibility in xp mode. (Even though this method only worked about 50% of the time.)

I noticed on a few of my compiles, things would act funny on win7. Projectiles would fire but disappear after the first few frames. They would still physically hit their targets but they would just be invisible. I have not tested if its the fault of export in win7-64 or just the game running in win7-64 itself. To tell you the truth I stay away from Win7-64 for now because of all this. At least when it comes to gE

GE 1.5 fixes this. It crashes when moving the export to another folder before exporting.
