4 sticks of 8mb is 32mb. Too little memory don't you think? :megalol:

 

You never mentioned your graphics card. Are you using the integrated one? That might be your problem.

 

You registered in 2011 and yet this is your first post? :joystick:

[markymark45]

Typo - make that 32 gigs...

The graphics card is a GTX 780 Ti and yes, I registered in 2011...

I have been involved since around 2007 with LockOn...and purchased numerous products since then...I just dont have much time to spend because I have young children...so I dont get involved in the posts much as I really havent had any issues...

Did you try repairing your install? Start -> Eagle Dynamics -> DCS -> Repair

 

Did you try removing the saved game folder?

 

Did you point the shortcut (if you are using one) to the correct file?

 

Other than that, I can't help you. Sorry.

Sounds like a Visual C++ error.. Have all the Visual C++ libraries been installed? Install all the Visual C++ libraries mentioned in this thread. That might solve the problem. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=106517

Obtain and run 'Dependency Walker'... it will indicate if you have a 32 bit/ 64bit folder DirectX file mix up

[markymark45]

Thanks for all the input...I downloaded the Walker program, this is what I found:

 

API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-RUNTIME-L1-1-0.DLL

API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ERROR-L1-1-0.DLL

API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL

API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ROBUFFER-L1-1-0.DLL

API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL

API-MS-WIN-SHCORE-SCALING-L1-1-1.DLL

DCOMP.DLL

IESHIMS.DLL

 

These are all missing according to the Dependency Walker from the DCS Updater.exe file...

[Wolf Rider]

re-install VC++2010 from the DCS download directory (?) and the DirectX whilst you're at it

I uninstalled everything..every folder and link..installed to a different drive even..installed all the C++ libraries, DirectX, tried starting in Multiplayer, uplugged Joystick...still comes up with same error..please, any more ideas? Everything worked up until a couple weeks ago..could it have been a windows update?

[Airsmetten]

I have the same issue on my PC.

I've also done all the above suggestions but without luck.

[Wolf Rider]

@ Airsmetten...

 

Try dropping the overclock on the i7 860 back to its default? and see if you can post up (readable screen shot) the results report from the Dependency Walker.

 

 

@ Markymark...

 

how many releases (2008/ 2010/ 2012 32bit and 64bit) of the C++ do you have on your rig, and is your system RAM in good order (Memtest?)

 

and which antivirus are you running?

Hi Wolfrider,

 

The CPU is back to its default values but the problem remains.

 

Does this help you out?

Hi guys. I had exactly the same issue as markymark45, indicated here:

faulting application name: Launcher.exe_DCS

faulting module name: ntdll.dll

exception code: 0xC0000005

 

I've spent 3 days trying to find the culprit and eventually succeed a few minutes back. I'll skip the detailed description of what I've done because this took a lot of efforts and demanded for some software tools - it'll take a lot of time to describe everything. So here is a shorter description.

 

Exception code 0xC0000005 is Access Violation Error. Since I was getting constant crashes with the same faulting application (Launcher.exe) and the same faulting module (ntdll.dll) I suspect some other process or dll was intruding the launch of DCS World. Eventually I've found out that the culprit is HitmanPro.Alert. In short, this is free application amed at guarding your system from any sort of crypto lockers and similar nasty stuff. It was guarding my web browser. Apparently it was also intruding DCS World. The problem with HitmanPro.Alert is you're unable to set it up - no way to provide user settings and somehow forbid HitmanPro.Alert intruding DCS World. It just starts with Windows as service and that's it. It is also not enough just to stop the service, you have to get rid of the hmpalert.dll which is part of HitmanPro.Alert and located in C:\Windows\System32 (C is the system drive). That dll is not part of Windows system. If you have HitmanPro.Alert installed or you're not sure if you do check C:\Windows\System32 for hmpalert.dll. If you do have this file try renaming it first to any name or extension (doesn't matter) and try to start DCS World. If it works - bingo. Than you can uninstall HitmanPro.Alert. After you do this I recommend you checking C:\Windows\System32 for hmpalert.dll again - it might be left over.

DCS exe is no longer launcher exe, it has changed to updater.exe. U are running an older ver. of the Sim. Why?

Have you run the MSVC package that is part of (contained within) the DCS: World download? (The DirectX redis is there as well)

 

Perhaps you may have installed a language pack recently?

That's right, you normally start the sim using the 'DCS World' shortcut which actually is a shortcut for DCS_updater.exe. Obviously, this file is supposed to check for updates each 24 hours. After it finishes the updates check it starts Launcher.exe and than you see the sim's interface. When you start any mission on your PC or go online Launcher.exe starts DCS.exe.

 

You can log every activity of DCS World together with other applications using Process Explorer.
