!ATENTION! This is at your own risk! Doing this might damage your Jazz2 .exe file! It would be wise too backup!
If you`re geting sick of geting acces violations, those errors in wich you have too hit enter about 80 times, then follow the these steps:
1: Download a hex editor.
2: Open the file Jazz2.exe.
3: Search for this string: "Application Error" Make sure you type this, or else it won`t be found!
4: Delete this intire string, and the, say, 5 next strings.
5: Save and start playing
If you did all these things corectly, at the poin where you would normaly get an Application Error- Acces Violation, you will instead get only one eror mesahe, and ofcourse, have too restart Jazz2.
I`m not sure this is the right way to do this.
If it is`nt, please tell me.

Yeah, but overlords patch only works for 1.23. This works for all versions.
hmm... there's a reason for access violation...
But if it still crashes the same only once then it's okay.

Maybe because they fixed some of the reasons? http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Kinda works, but no idea how
to erase all the 6 strings (the Fatal Application Error and the rest)...
"Delete" is disabled...

Just press space till the`re all gone.
That won't work...
I think TSF doesn't take as much time to crash considering it takes up more memory?

LOL, sorry but that "tip" sounds quite crazy (if it really works, you can slap me :-). It's like: if the engine of your car doesn't run anymore, remove the engine and it'll work fine :-)

Wouldn't eliminating the custom access violation for Jazz2 have a negative affect of jazz2 actually accessing other program's memory and screwing them up? I mean, there has to be a reason it's customized like that....

Access violations happen because Jazz2.exe wants to access the next address to FFFFFFFF (which doesn't exist - FFFFFFFF is the ending of windows memory) Every program in win32 has its own process ID which is between 00000000 and FFFFFFFF. I think there is some kind of "while" or "for" command in Jazz2.exe that searches process ID for something. But in this case it fails to find it so it continues to search 'till it reaches the end of the memory. Then it wants to access something that doesn't exist. That's my explanation for access violations but I still don't know why they appear so many times. Possible that there are so many "while" or "for" commands or something like that...
O yeah. On the AV window it says FFFFFFFFh. FFFFFFFF is a number and h means it's hexadecimal.
FFFFFFFF = 4294967295

No, as I recall from reading up on windows, a program would be considered crashed because it would write in another program's territory... considered as ffffffff, but actually, not all programs even crash there, some at 80000000h, 90000000h, there's a reason for access violation, I suggest you keep it.

The patch didn't work on mine.
Hmm, I tried out this patch becuase I kept running into crashing... but now that I've tried it, the access violations didn't come (it actually semi works) but now windows calls a crash (that's good but bad in this case).
So congrats on the patch that got rid of jj2 access violations, but failed in jj2 not crashing =D.
