Comments (What you tried, description, etc): Nothing tried so far, ASGS boots up and logs in (checks polls messages etc.) allegiance launches, window appears for about 1 second then ASGS says closing application, then logged off.

Check if there are any crashlogs in the Allegiance direcotry (default is 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance').

I get this each and every time after autoupdate pushes files to my client. Not immediately, but on the next start of the client after the autoupdate. I guess it's related to

Perhaps you're having the same problem. What I do to remedy the situation is copying sounddef.mdl and quickchat.mdl from the chat pack into the artwork directory (again). After that Allegiance works for me.

HTH,

Seems it had to do with the update and the messing up of my megachatpack THANKS SQUIRE!!! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> prob solved

[TheBored]

I should have a fix coded up for this problem, only waiting for the beta servers to go R5. Here's to hoping, eh?

[ogorass]

Heh, this really deserves a sticky... Closing as solved.
