I ran into this issue after going to the Android Market, searching for "Vendetta Online" and downloading it onto my new AT&T Ericsson XP. The updater runs with the pic of the Raptor in the background, however every time I press "Play" on the screen the program closes, returning me to the OS. I tried rebooting the device, and I also tried downloading ATK (Advanced Task Killer) from the Marketplace, with no different results.

Currently running Android 2.3.3
Model number R800at
Vendetta Online version 1.8.193

On average roughly 230MB are free after running the App Killer

-edit-
Opening the Vendetta folder and errors log after plugging in my phone to my laptop I read the following in the errors log:

main: 0x410b19b0
No signal handler support for Android.
archive returned 0

Check out the 'logcat' log from android and see if it's got any hints in there about what's going on. There's an app on the market called 'aLogcat' you can use to view it on the phone, or you can use USB debugging with the Android SDK's adb tool and view the log while the phone is connected to your computer.

Thanks for the response. In logcat I'm getting a lot of:

I/CustomizationProvider( 359): No configuration file: /system/etc/customization/settings/com/sonyericsson/textinput/uxp/custom_settings.xml

in green, also

W/dalvikvm( 1861): ERROR: Unable to find decl for native Lcom/guildsoftware/vendetta/VOUpdater;.InitUpdateClient:()V

and

W/PackageParser( 1861): Unknown element under <manifest>: supports-gl-texture at /mnt/sdcard/VendettaOnline/VendettaOnline-debug.apk Binary XML file line ###

in orange (subst. #117 - #120 for ###)

I'm guessing ( 1861) is the thread number, which looks like it has a lot to do with VO trying to load and looking for a lost file or something. Not quite ready to go down the rabbit hole with adb, might wait until I'm more comfortable with the OS.

Phaserlight, can you please save a log at that spans the complete time of the crash, and submit that in a ticket along with all the .log files from /sdcard/VendettaOnline. We've been trying to reproduce this issue for some time, as has SonyEricsson.
