I think what Erin Dame suggested might fix it.JohnW wrote:I have used Arena 3.5.1 a lot and have never had those issues. The only big issue I ever see is it crashes frequently and restarts during a tournament, but it restarts right where it left off.
I've seen that exact option but never bothered to modify it to my needs. Usually, after few games with 2 engines, I may opt to try another different pair of engines. All for entertainment. So I never encountered what you're experiencing. But in my case, when I run Deep Rybka 3 x64 in Arena 1.1, DR3 starts to play! No problems whatsoever. This is the message from Arena 3.5.1 when attempting to play IvanHoe with Deep Rybka 3:
