I am trying to go into smart view (f12) but the game instantly crashes to desktop when I do so.

This error message is displayed.

Program fault at Ox58F783, cleanup up and exiting! 00000000 000CFC14 0058F783 00210286 FFFFFFFF 00E58C40 FFFFFF00 FFFFFFFF 00E58040 18750000 00000028 00000028 00000053 00000028 00000023 0000002B

I had the same issue on my XP machine and this helped me to fix it:

SmartView (F12) Crash to Desktop

In D3D mode (on nVidia cards in particular), using the SmartView (F12) is likely to cause your system to freeze. This is due to how modern operating systems handle AGP calls. The only known solution is to Disable AGP Texture Acceleration (though you can keep DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleration enabled) in the DirectX Diagnostic Tool (dxdiag.exe), which should allow Smart View to work. Likewise, you can also run in Glide mode, which doesn't use AGP.

Note that disabling AGP Texture Acceleration is no longer an option in Vista, and I am assuming the same for Windows 7.
from TAWwiki

Now I'm running vanilla TAW in Win7 64-bit with nGlide and have the issue (seems like it's not tied to AGP calls since I'm using Glide renderer).

I have a hefty GPU, performance will not be a problem, but if will it look worse if I disable AGP Texture Acceleration? I don't want the game to look worse.

Nvidia GTX 580 1.5GB
WIndows 64 bit

I used the information on this thread to disable the AGP Texture Acceleration.

Vanilla TAW with nGlide will also cause issues due to how D3D Glide wrappers work (and it happens more with nGlide for whatever reason). The solution by Zeus (nGlide author) was to hex edit f22.dat. If you're using vanilla TAW, do the hex-edit yourself and don't use the f22.dat enclosed in that post.

I'll put this information on the TAW Wiki as well.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Any good hex editing software you recommend Homefries? The last time I hex edited anything was in mid 90's under DOS biggrin

I am using TAW reloaded, not vanilla. I will try that hex edit thing though.


UPDATE: I can't seem to find the hex address.
Here is my f22.dat file

UPDATE 2:

I figured it out, no longer crashes. biggrin

Thanks

Nevermind - I used HxD, but couldn't find the offset pointed out by Zues 0x5BF783 - the file ends at 0x36E7FF.

I found the hex string "668B0447" on offset 0x1BEB83 and changed it to "90909090" and the smart view works without issues.

LOL, was about to recommend HxD. Great minds think alike!
