Stonehouse Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Updated last night and then installed Mig21 this morning. Since then DCS World crashes on start up and gives the following event log message. Faulting application name: Launcher.exe_DCS, version: 1.2.10.32095, time stamp: 0x5416e887 Faulting module name: ZweiBlau.dll, version: 1.2.10.32095, time stamp: 0x5416e6d6 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000000000002115e Faulting process id: 0x1524 Faulting application start time: 0x01cfd31bb6fbed4f Faulting application path: F:\Games\DCS World\DCS World\bin\Launcher.exe Faulting module path: F:\Games\DCS World\DCS World\bin\ZweiBlau.dll Report Id: f5b02b16-3f0e-11e4-a2e2-f46d044fd341 I've tried doing a repair but it didn't improve things. I did see that someone else had a ZweiBlau related crash a few days ago but he was running Server 2008 whereas I'm on Win7/64 and he was before the latest patch. The only response he got was related to RAM and I have 16Gb so don't believe I have a lack of memory problem. No previous issues running DCS and a search of the forum here seems to only offer running a repair. Anyone got any ideas as to where to go next? I'd really like to keep going on the CAPGCI script changes I was halfway through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehouse Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Tried renaming my config folder under C:\Users\xxx\Saved Games. It got slightly further in that I now get a black screen before crashing. So I assume it now dies just prior to loading the initial GUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehouse Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Well no luck at all and it looks like by mucking about with repair I've somehow managed to destroy autoupdate.db so now nothing DCS related starts. Looks like a complete reinstall which is a real bugger as I'm going to have to be very careful not to lose any wip scripts or mission and control setups not to mention what a hole it's going to make in my internet allowance for the month.

ED Team c0ff Posted September 18, 2014 ED Team Share Posted September 18, 2014 a) there's no autoupdate.db in the recent dcs versions, only autoupdate.dat nonetheless b) everything will work without this file, even the updater will start, but the updates wont apply Dmitry S.

Stonehouse Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 OK strange when I start DCS it complains that it can't find autoupdate.db and won't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehouse Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Ok it is complaining it can't find the file on start up <edit> sorry 2 secs after posting the image I ran DCS again. This time the autoupdate.db error did not occur and it is back to the Zweiblau.dll problem again Edited September 18, 2014 by Stonehouse weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtaliaA1 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 After a search on this PC. I found the file in 3 locations, one is the download bin in DCS world another in World OpenBeta and the last in world bin. With that said, and the files all report the same size, U could delete/drag and drop the other one in to replace ur bad copy. Worth a shot to avoid Re-Instillation?

Stonehouse Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Tried a search for the file this morning but autoupdate.db isn't to be found. So I think it will be the reinstall later today as even without the autoupdate.db issue there is the Zweiblau.dll problem. Thank you both for trying to help, hopefully the reinstall will fix both problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehouse Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just got the base DCS world reinstalled and so far it has started without problems. About to start reinstalling all the modules now so fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveBait Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hey Stonehouse, i had the same problem. Tried renaming that Zweiblau.dll and running a repair. That only gave me errors on the effects.dll. In the end i sorted it by renaming the whole bin folder and running a repair. Not sure of the relevance, but i also deleted the beta files i still had in my saved games folder before renaming the bin folder and repair. Good luck..

Stonehouse Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks Livebait, I just finished the reinstall of the last module and so far all good - no Zweiblau.dll error or my other issues. There sounds like there will probably be a hot fix soon going by Wag's post in the official updates sub forum this morning so if I run into trouble I'll give your method a shot. Now just to put back all the skins, controls settings, missions and scripts and then try to sort out which of my mod collection will work still lol guess it keeps me busy and off the streets ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiveBait Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Don't know why but this Zweiblau.dll issue appeared again for me after updating to 1.2.14.35605. Renamed the 'bin' folder and ran a repair and that fixed it. What does this file do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
