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

    • Linus Torvalds releases a pretty ordinary Linux 6.16-rc3 by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds, the head and founder of the Linux kernel, has announced the release of Linux 6.16-rc3. This release comes with fixes for new features that were introduced during the merge window several weeks ago, and for old features where issues have been detected or improvements need to be made. If you remember last week, Torvalds said that rc2 seemed smaller than usual, putting it down to people going on vacation. He said this week’s rc3 seems to be in the usual ballpark for this time of the cycle, so everything looks “entirely normal.” In terms of changes, this release is “dominated” by wireless networking and GPU driver updates, however, Torvalds doesn’t think that anything really huge stands out this time. While nothing stands out Torvalds urged people to carry on testing and submitting patches. This update saw improvements to the core system and architecture. There have been improvements to ARM64 KVM that improve stability and correctness of virtualizations on ARM64. There are also improvements to RISC-V KVM and Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) for Intel which expand and secure virtualization capabilities on those architectures. On the graphics front, there are fixes for the amdgpu and amdkfd drivers that fix job handling, engine resets, display corruption, and power management features. The driver used for Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs has been updated to improve fault handling, display timing, and driver binding. The open-source Nouveau (Nvidia) driver has been updated with fixes for GSP message queue references, potential integer overflows, buffer size adjustments, and a use-after-free bug. Finally, the Intel i915 driver has been updated to address early wedge issues, memory initializations, and build errors. There are also improvements to Wi-Fi devices (ath12k and iwlwifi), sound (ALSA), power management on AMD, and file system improvements (OverlayFS, EROFS, XFS, NFS, SunRPC). Linux 6.16 is due for release at the end of July and will then be picked up by Linux distributions, which will be the first interaction most end users have with the new features in this update. The main benefit of a newer kernel is that Linux will work on newer hardware, so if you’ve had issues with Linux, be sure to try it periodically in case your hardware is now supported.
