Couldn't find image for shader 0


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

I have searched the Internet and searched Neowin for help, but did not find anything. I purchased MOHAAB today for $5, brand new at Electronic Boutique (yes, I know the game is old, but I bought it for my nephew) anyway, the game installed fine, and I pass the first level (of course I'm gonna play it :D), when the game starts the second level, the console opens automatically with the following error message:

Couldn't find image shader 0

The game does not work anymore. Please look at the picture. What is that? Could someone help me?

Computer specs:

P4 2.8GHz w/HT

Asus mobo P4S533

Running XP with 1GB DDR RAM

64MB nVidia card & like 11GB free HD space.

TIA

P.S.

The first time I installed the game, ran it without the patch 1.11 and it did the same thing, so I went ahead and installed the patch thinking it would fix it, but no luck.

I'm gonna answer my own question :D

Found the information on EAGames website.

Question

Why does the game crash with an error about not finding an image for shader 0?

Answer

The error ERROR - Level::AllocEdict: no free edicts or Couldn't find image for shader 0 is caused by three things.

* The wuss cheat code entered in the console. The weapons spawned by this code will cause the error, and result in a crash to the main menu when loading the next mission. We recommend that you not use this code when playing the game to minimize any further issues.

* This could also happen if you have installed any game mods, using other cheats or additions to the game that are not supported by Electronic Arts.

* If this is not the case, it's may be because the install files were corrupted.

In these cases a clean install will be desired. This will clear the game entirely off your system, allowing you to reinstall the game without corruption.

:angry:

I couldnt edit my last post, but it did not work. I did have the cheat codes in there, but removing it, did not do anything. Started level 2 and the same thing happened, the console open automatically with the error message. I'm gonna remove the game like EAGames says (step by step).

No one has received this error message using the cheat codes provided on different places on the Internet?

TIA

Ok. This is the final answer. I had to manually delete the whole game like it said in EAGames, and now the game works fine. I guess once I added the cheat codes to the shortcut executable I had created, it corrupted the whole game.

Thanks

the cheats added to the shorcut dont corrupt the game , they just make the console available for entering commands & cheats .......but anyways you will need to reinstall & remove the shortcut with the cheats in it .

Whatever happened, it did corrupt the files, because once I removed the shortcut.exe, the original icon was not working either, it would come up with the same error.

That's what I did. Removed the whole game manually, including registry keys. Did a fresh installation, and its been working after that. :p

    • There's absolutely nothing in the WINE license preventing this. Regardless if that sentiment is held by the developers of WINE, it likely doesn't concern the people making Proton nor does it prevent them from adding the support.
    • Multiple competing launchers are unironically a gem on PC gaming—I'm not sure why people don't get that yet. Why replicate Apple's horrible control here? Multiple launchers = multiple stores → lower prices for multi-launcher games Every other con seems minute and irrelevant to a vibrant marketplace where you actually save money. The only real complaints I hear are multiple launchers idle as background tasks + people don't like opening multiple apps. For #1, maybe this OS-based launcher should do shutdown idle launchers like GOG. For #2, virtually all launchers let you create shortcuts. Voila, problem solved.
    • Xbox June Update brings unsynced save management, publisher browsing, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe June has been a busy month for Microsoft, bringing major software upgrades across its product stack. It even announced new hardware for its Xbox lineup, finally entering the handheld gaming space. The company's roundup for this month's new features has now been published, and it's touting a great deal of changes. To start off on the PC side, the Xbox app on the platform now has a section to browse by publishers. The company says that this will let players easily discover more games made by their favorite developers and franchises. Copilot for Gaming also landed in beta form recently, letting users ask AI for help when a game gets too difficult. It's only available for iOS and Android for now, with ROG Xbox Ally support coming later this year. Another feature that will hit the Xbox Ally is the new universal launcher feature for the Xbox app on PC. Microsoft just kicked off Xbox Insider testing for this functionality earlier today. Get all the details here. Over on consoles, the ability to hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed are now available. Game Hubs also arrived as a fresh feature to easily display relevant information when selecting a game to play, offering data on player stats, achievements, friends currently playing, recent captures, available add-ons, events, and more. Double-tapping the play button will quick-launch the game instead. On both Xbox consoles and in the cloud, a new progress bar will now appear when a save has been left behind on a device in an offline state. "A new progress bar, device names, timestamps, and additional details are now displayed when you have previous game saves on another device in an unsynced state," says the company. Microsoft has also added mouse and keyboard controls as well as touch controls for more cloud games this month. These join the fresh additions that have landed on the 'Stream your own game' collection and the Retro Classics app. Check out the full lists on the announcement page here. On top of all this, Microsoft has also announced that Xbox will be at Gamescom this year. While no details have been announced yet, more announcements from Xbox Game Studios may happen at the major gaming event.
