64 bit compiling experts: need help again!

Post by Edsel Apostol »

I have compiled a 64 bit version of my engine in a 32 bit OS and I sent it to one of my testers with a 64 bit OS. He reported that the 64 bit version crashes after a few moves. It happened with or without compiler optimizations. The 32 bit version is stable.

Is there anyone here who is an expert and whom I could trust with my source code? I don't have a 64 bit OS so I couldn't debug it myself.

You could send it to me or to Jim Ablett.
The exact error message on the crash might tell you what is wrong.
