Technical support - crashing minutes in

posted on March 2nd, 2025, 4:14 pm

Hello, i'd like to ask for your help if possible please?

I'm running VMware Fusion 3 on a Mac, with Windows 11 pro x64. I have Star Trek Armada 2 installed, clean, with the latest feel operations. It loads and I can create an instant game, but within 2-3 minutes it crashes with the error:
'Access violation at address 5A9ACE46 in module 'FleetOpsHook.dll'. Read of address 16ADFD00.'

Can anyone help me with this please?
Thank you for your time

Are you wntering edit mode (CTRL+E) accidentally? Because the error location may have something to do with that. Does this only happen on certain maps and not on others? If there is no pattern to it it may just be a fundamental incompatibility with your VMWare + Windows 11 setup. I know at least the versions/mods* of Fleet Ops that run on the improved game engine (3.2.7 is the old version of the game engine) can operate flawlessly on Parallels on a Mac.
