Yeah...I don't see anything with the words codec or anything relating to that in there though. The only thing I have with the word 'code' in it is 'dBpoweramp Ogg Vorbis Lancer Encoder' which has been on my PC for ages and is just so I can play certain music tracks from a game that were .ogg files or something. I should imagine it's been there when I first played Blackshark so, what am I looking for? :)

Hmm, I will try this..uhh, could someone tell me what codec packs and where to find them? That would be great. In response to an earlier question, I do have an X52 Pro but I've been starting the game with it connected...it's been fine before with my stick so don't think that would be the problem. If someone could tell me where to find these codec packs, then I'll give that a try.

Huh? :) Oh I see the thread's been updated, thanks.. I'll try the codec packs if someone tells me where to find them, cheers.

Anybody? :(

Hey guys, sorry if this isn't the right place but I'm not so sure it belonged in the problems and bugs area. Basically I was just wondering about getting a contact number or working email address for some tech support for Blackshark? I tried emailing the support address listed on the main Blackshark website but I got an email back from the delivery master thing saying that sending the message had failed, most likley because the address isn't there anymore. I need help with the problem I mentioned in this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=40490 Seeming as it's not too active and the people that have replied have no idea what my problem was, I'd like to go straight to the source. So if someone could let me know what their number is or a working email, or just help, that would be great. Thanks

Okay well, I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions so far. Just hope someone knows how to fix it! :)

Well, that didn't work. The fresh download and reinstall didn't fix my problem...now what?? I'm going to send an email to their tech support... ------------------------------------------ Okay, what the hell? Their tech support email doesn't exsist anymore. I just get delivery notification failure when I try to send them an email...I wrote a really long email in detail too. :( Screw it, I'll attach this here. Please someone help me! Error.txt

Is anyone using the latest nVidia drivers (182.05) and an 8800GT and having any problems? Wondering if I should try rolling back my drivers. Also does this place actually get any tech support from the team that made the game or is it purely community based? --------------------------------------- Right, just tried rolling back my drivers to an earlier version. No Dice. Next thing I'm going to try is a re-download. Maybe the actual installer itself has corrupted somewhere along the line. If this doesn't work then I don't know what the hell is wrong.

Well I reinstalled but it didn't work for me. Antivirus can't be the problem as it had no troubles the first time around...

I have a similar problem, when I first got the game, it was fine. I could load missions and stuff but one day, it just kept crashing saying 'DCS etc has stopped responding' and going back to the game menu. The actual game .exe has broken somewhere as when I try to load a mission, wether it's training, multiplayer or a single mission, it loads all the way in to about 75% including dropping out to windows and loading back in but then it freezes or crashes. Once that happens the menu loads back up again as if nothing happened. This only happened a few weeks after playing the game, not long after I defragged my hardrive so I assumed that caused some kind of corruption. Today I reinstalled the game hoping to play but only to find that I still have this problem. I'm running Vista 32bit Geforce 8800Gt with latest drivers 4Gb RAM 500Gb Hardrive Any help would be appreciated, it can't be my antivirus or anything, I didn't have any problems with it before and it doesn't affect any other games (Symantec antivirus). Just looked in the crash file, opened it with notepad and I see this: # -------------- 20090503-160045 -------------- C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 761921B3 01:000011B3 # # EAX = 4782F3C0 # EBX = 00000000 # ECX = 00000000 # EDX = 00000000 # ESI = 4782F3C0 # EDI = 00000000 # CS:EIP = 001B:761921B3 # SS:ESP = 0023:4782F390 EBP = 4782F3A0 # DS = 0023 ES = 0023 FS = 003B GS = 0000 # Flags = 00010246 761921B3 4782F3A0 0001:000011B3 C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll 761921B3 4782F3A0 0001:000011B3 C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll 7619233A 4782F4C4 0001:0000133A C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll GetUserNameExW()+FF 76192264 4782F4E8 0001:00001264 C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll GetUserNameExW()+29 7657B19B 4782F4FC 0001:0001A19B C:\Windows\system32\ADVAPI32.dll GetUserNameW()+15 0FED7A02 4782FF94 0001:00006A02 C:\Program Files\Saitek\DirectOutput\DirectOutput.dll DirectOutput_SetProfile()+6712 77ABE4B6 4782FFD4 0001:0003D4B6 C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll RtlInitializeExceptionChain()+63 77ABE489 4782FFEC 0001:0003D489 C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll RtlInitializeExceptionChain()+36 If I need to add anything else, let me know. Really want to get back into playing this!

Sorry, I couldn't think of a better title. Basically I have an X52 Pro joystick, when I move my joystick around, the helicopter sort of responds but then pushes the stick back to neutral. It's like I've got something constantly trying to hold the helicopter stick dead centre but I don't know how. I've not changed any settings in game and I've tried with a cold helicopter with nothing switched on but it still snaps back thinking maybe it was some kind of autopilot that I had turned on by accident but having all the power off would suggest not. My friend was playing around with my joystick, just pressing buttons and stuff like the numpty he is so I thought maybe he had done something but I checked the joystick out in other games and it works fine there so I don't think it's anything he's pressed by accident. It's just confined to Black Shark. I'm wondering if someone can help me, maybe it's something I've hit in game with a keyboard shortcut but I can't think of anything I've pressed that I don't normally. I tried loading and clearing a profile, I do have that 'Saitek Rullez' thing on my MFD and my A button turns orange but before yesterday it didn't really make a difference. If anyone could help, I'd be grateful. Oh and also, that image verifcation system is annoying
