Hello, welcome to TSF.
Try updating your system to Service Pack 3.
Reinstall the game using this
Scan your registry thrice using this

i have SP3 already, I uninstalled ST by using REVO, but i dont know how to use CCleaner, it seems that i can check only for internet browser registry files only.

Mythrizer · 06-25-2009, 12:26 PM

oh yeah, one more thing, when i uninstalled it, using REVO, it deleted the program files folder, but i got another error- ''Error in allocation of Submarine Titans data in the Registry.
Uninstallation cannot be completed''- Isn't that weird??

Mythrizer · 06-25-2009, 12:31 PM

oh i forgot the uninstall didn't remove any files at all. I just deleted it. Sorry about that. I dreamed of this game for years, and now when i got it it dont work!!

**RockmasteR** · 06-25-2009, 12:37 PM

it seems like the installation is corrupted, it didn't write anything to the registry and that what is the error about
Did you remove the game using Revo? or you did it manually?
try to install it again and see what happens

Mythrizer · 06-25-2009, 02:23 PM

How can i copy error report contents?

**5NIPER_WOLF** · 06-25-2009, 03:09 PM

Just type it up.

Mythrizer · 06-26-2009, 04:49 AM

theres thousands of numbers and letters there, how can i just ''type it up'' ??

Mythrizer · 06-26-2009, 05:13 AM

I know that lots of people experience the same problem with ST. Can anyone find out, if there's more threads of ST problem, maybe solved one??

**RockmasteR** · 06-26-2009, 06:21 AM

did you try to reinstall it after you deleted it?

Mythrizer · 06-26-2009, 08:49 AM

yes i have, I got the same error. :(

**Lord Sirian** · 06-26-2009, 08:53 AM

Have you got another computer to install ST on - and see if it works on that one?

If you have, try installing it on the other computer.

See how it goes.

Hi, I was trying to install Submarine Titans as well, but what I encountered is that it does not seem to work on XP SP3 (and any later windows, of course). I have tried to install the game for 2 days now (2 system reinstalls and around 30 Game installs.)

Here are some results:
I got it working on XP on my Netbook. XP SP3 is installed there.
But when I install it on my desktop - it does not work, the error is exactly what Mythrizer has.
Then I booted in Safe Mode and this time the game installed successfully. And It also started successfully from Safe Mode. After Reboot into Normal Mode the error reappeared (the program was advising a reinstall).

So there should be some function that is missing or blocking Submarine Titans access. Possibly the installer and the game cannot reach some data in registry.

I will try to mess around some more, but If anyone has got it working - would be interesting to know how.

Hi, guys. I have both the full paid-for version with key and the free version made available publicaly with public key. Both have 'always' worked and recall playing often since XP SP3 install. However, somewhere along the line it has quit. Last time i tried wasn't all that long ago and it worked. It will not reinstall without error and it will not play without "internal error" in a small box when trying to load. Bummer, this is a fun game and i have a lot of custom maps for it too.
If anyone figures this out please let us know here. JL

rebrain · 07-29-2009, 06:52 AM

So this happens after an windows update though the initial SP3 release may still run ST. This is good news.

Also, could you share those custom maps with us?

JL_COG · 07-29-2009, 07:19 AM

i am suspecting Internet Explorer 8 since its the closest thing i can remember to the last time i played Sub Titans. As for the maps all are welcome but i am too privacy and security minded to give out an email addy. If there is a non-peer to peer site to upload to i'd be willing to upload them. JL

rebrain · 07-30-2009, 04:52 AM

@JL_COG: rapidshare.com is pretty famous.

***

I have reinstalled Windows once again, and found the problem. In my case this is the audio driver. :o

SoundMax - after I install it Submarine Titans shows "Internal Error" and does not even start. I have 2 sound outputs shown in the Audio Settings. The first one is clearly the back panel. Another one is something else, and I can't hear any sounds when I set the output to the second item.
BUT, ST works (without sounds)!

I will look for other sound drivers.

JL_COG · 07-30-2009, 07:31 AM

Rebrain, thank-you for the direction. I too have found the sound driver to be the problem. Of note is that i did not update the sound driver (Creative Audigy ZS Platinum Pro in my case) but rather Windows Update did! Game starts up and plays with sound now (installed the original sound card drivers - although i trashed my Windows foraging for the problem updates and wonder how long til another problem crops up from that!) BTW running XP Professional w/SP3

JL_COG · 07-30-2009, 12:08 PM

Thx 4 Rapidshare tip but my filter doesn't allow that type of site. Is there a fan site with an upload option? Otherwise i could burn a cd to mail.
