I released the first version of the Metal Force demo and I sended it immediately to a friend. He said that when he runs the game,he sees the Genesis 3D logo,than he hears the menu music for a second and the game crashes. The same happens to other friends,bt not to me...
I asked them to copy and paste what the log file says and theu gave me that:

I think it's something with the menu,but I just don't see nothing wrong. I'm posting the topic here,because the bug reports section is not that active :) hope there's no problem,and if there is,please move the topic :)

EDIT: It doesn't run on my computer anymore... That's really uncool :(

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Now it doesn't work even on my own computer :( :( (not after patching,after changing a crosshair bitmap)
Searching for fullscreen driver

Nothing is missing from the bitmaps and nothning wrong in install directory.
Do you want me to upload an archive of my game's demo? that way whoever wants,can download it and see where's the problem.
What I've noticed:
The demo works on my computer in it's directory, but if I make an archive of it, the archive version just won't start. I patched the demo with the patch and it doesn't help saddly. Also:
I changed one of the crosshair images (actually two - the bitmap and the alpha channel) with a little more Hi-res version of the crosshair (90X90). When I started the game, it threw me out. I copied the bitmaps folder from the original RF directory where the game is being developed and replaced the bitmap folder with the original and the menu worked, but after archiving or changing a bitmap it doesn't work (that's what I saw and think).
Also I tried to make the credit image 256X512, OK I made it,but when I did this to the alpha channel the game was crashing after the Genesis 3D logo.

Not sure if the information's enough.
