Hi, I just bought settlers 4 and installed it. For some reason when I start the game it pops up and error message saying, " Fatal Error: Exception 0x0000094 at 0x004e33f6! ". Does anyone know if this is a game error or a system error? It looks like a memory issue but what do I know! I am running XP on an Asus board with ATI 2600, 1 gig of ram and a 3.0 Pentium. Please help! I'm going through game withdraws!! Thanks, JB I'm guessing you see this error in a Blue Screen? Which Operating System are you USING? Does your computer meet the game's requirements?

FlameI'm using XP home, and my system surpasses all requirements by a long shot. and yes I am seeing the error on a blue(default) screen. Actually it's gray because of windowblinds. . The error message shows it is in the S4_Main.exe file.Have you searched the game manufacturer's website for similar issues? Who is the manufacturer? Are your video card drivers up-to-date?

FlameYeah, I searched the manufacturer(Ubisoft/Bluebyte) and am having no luck with their tech support so far.
My video card is up to date as of last night.Did you even do a google search for that error? It seems to be a known issue with that game;

Thanks very much!! Good for you. It looked like there was a PATCH and some other tinkering that needed to be DONE. Glad you are playing again! Yeah, The patch at Ubisoft's website is not the one to fix the problem with compatibility. And switching the way XP runs the program did the trick
