Runtime Error! - dcs.exe

[ZaltysZ]

It is good idea to have additional HDD or just partition for such experiments. It is easier to install second OS and make a test than reinstall everything just for that test.

[NightsEye]

thanks for the tips

I'll check out the codecs first.

 

hopefully i have some spare space for a partition.

[Gael]

I solved it uninstalling Gametap.

I also have runtime error. The first time it occured when I changed the original soundtracks in the sounds/samples/radiomayak directory. I had to try several times how many tracks can I use regarding their format, size, length without crashing the game. Finally I was able to run the game with 16 own tracks (that's the maximum, at least for me). But unfortunately I discovered this works only about 1 hour after mission start and then I got the same runtime error.

Does anyone know what is the solution for this? ( I know, replace the original tracks :) ,but I really want to use my own ones )

So I would appreciate any handy idea. Thanks in advance.

Same problem here.

 

I thought this was related to Vista, but I have the same problem with XP (clean installation).

 

Since I lost an activation as this first occured under XP, though I didn't change any hardware and the hardware-code in the registry is 100% identical, I'm pretty sure it is related to some bug with starforce.

 

I also noticed that the game runs a lot slower, before this error is going to occur at the end of the mission. And it happens 90% of the time with XP, now. Reinstalling didn't fix the problem and as the other posters reported before, there is no option to update SF-drivers in the protect.exe GUI.

 

 

This is the first and only bad experience I ever had with SF, but if I am going to lose more registrations due to this bug, I most surely won't buy the game again (or later releases distributed with this copy protection). :noexpression:

Hi, I have DCS after so much waiting but when I start it: Microsoft C++ Runtime Library, Runtime error ! I went through many forums to see that there are no real solutions for this problem. Is it the end of the adventure before it even started? Please SOS

@NeF: Please try Catalyst 8.11 or 8.12 drivers.

[NeF]

Thanks for trying to help me!

Tried both catalysts and even older ones without succes.

For now I:

Re-installed 3 times

Removed codec packs like told above.

Made tons of space on hard drive, cleaned it, even registry.

No luck.

Any other things to try?

Is there any chances for a future patch that could solve this problem ?

 

I'm scared.

 

Thanks again for support.

POO. I am getting the runtime crash. Happens right at the end of missions. Was running fine but now i cant seem to finish a mission.

Ich habe den selben Fehler bei DCS Black Shark (deutsche Version).

Ich benutze WindowsXP mit Service Pack3.

Der RUNTIME BUG ist also nicht nur unter VISTA aktiv, sondern auch unter WindowsXP Prof. in der 32 Bit- Variante.

Wie schon alle diese User vor mir habe auch ich bereits das Programm einmal deinstalliert und es danach erneut installiert.

Irgendwie scheint die DCS.exe nicht mit der protect.dll zurecht zu kommen oder eben umgekehrt !

Die Fehlermeldungen die ich immer bekomme sind:

ModName protect.dll

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information

Alle anderen Programme und auch das Virenscanprogramm habe ich deaktiviert, allerdings stьrtzt das Programm spдtestens im Ladevorgang von Daten stдndig ab, so dбЯ ich noch nicht einmal die virtuelle Landschaft betrachten konnte.

Mein Sytem besteht aus:

Mainboard ASUS A7N8X-XE (Socket 462)

Prozessor AthlonXP 2600+

Arbeitsspeicher 1536 MB (DDR-1 Taktung 333Mhz.)

Grafikkarte Sapphire HD 3850 (AGP-Variante mit DDR-3 Speicher)

Logitech MX 518 (USB(optische Maus))

Saitek CYBORG 3D Flugsteuerknьppel (USB)

AC 97 Sound onboard

PCI Soundkarte AUREAL, diese ьber einen Gamesport verfьgt !

MS Sidewinder FF WHEEL (dieses an dem Gamesport angeschlossen ist)!

und als OS benutze ich WindowsXP Prof. inkl. Service Pack 3

 

Die Gerдtetreiber von der Grafikkarte werden mit den aktuellen Orginal Treibern des Herstellers Sapphire betrieben, und der aktuelle AGP-Patch fьr das OS WindowsXP (32-Bit) wurde bereits aufgespielt.

 

Ich habe keine Ahnung mehr was ich da noch machen kann, ich denke das der Support das mit dem ersten Patch behoben hat. Schliesslich wartete ich bis auf die Verцffentlichung der deutschen Version nicht, um dann puren Entsetzens feststellen zu mьssen, daЯ dieser Fehler schon seit langen existiert jedoch eine Lцsung des Problems bisweilen ausgeblieben ist.

Translation:

I get the same bug in DCS Black Shark (GermanVersion).

I am using WindowsXP with Service Pack3.

So the RUNTIME BUG does not only occur under VISTA, but also using WindowsXP Prof. 32 Bit.

Like all users above I have also tried un- and reinstalling the Programm.

Somehow the DCS.exe has issues with protect.dll or vice versa!

I always get the following error message:

ModName protect.dll

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information

I deactivated all other programs, including antivirus, but the program always crashes during the data loading process, so that I cannot even see the virtual landscape.

System specs:

Mainboard ASUS A7N8X-XE (Socket 462)

Processor AthlonXP 2600+

RAM 1536 MB (DDR-1 333Mhz.)

Videocard Sapphire HD 3850 (AGP-Variant with DDR-3 memory)

Logitech MX 518 (USB/optical mouse))

Saitek CYBORG 3D joystick (USB)

AC 97 Sound onboard

PCI Soundcard AUREAL with gameport!

MS Sidewinder FF WHEEL (connected to the gameport)!

OS WindowsXP Prof. incl. Service Pack 3

 

Videocard drivers are the latest from Sapphire, and the latest AGP-patch for WinXP 32 is installed as well.

 

I don't know what to try anymore, I hope support will fix the problem in the first patch. I didn't wait for the release of the German version just to find out that this bug has been known for a long time and hasn't been fixed yet.

[DiabloSP]

I have the same problem here. And in my case, it has consequences. Multiplayer tracks are not saved correctly, sometimes they are not saved at all. Sometimes even mission outcome is not presented in the "debrief".

 

Using AMD64X2 5800, ATI 4850, WinXP 32 Pro Service Pack 3. Latest drivers in everything.

[Tez]

Multiplayer tracks are not saved correctly, sometimes they are not saved at all.

It's a symptom of installation placed in Program Files and launching as a regular user or with UAC on. First try running as Administrator via right-click menu. If it solves the problem with tracks then I'm right.

lapster49th, meinem deutsch ist nicht gut. Wenn sie nicht english sprechen wir haben einer deutsche forum.

Does anyone if there might be a conflict with protect.dll from something like insufficient access priviliges in the user account, installation from another user than the one running the program and so on? I would assume that the dll is part of the anti-piracy scheme.

[basscadets rriatt]

i had same issue iam on windows xp service pack 3 "runtime visual++C library error"

the only fix i found was to remove the Latest modman, anything that seems to dip its fingers with the DCS files seemed to have a major impact on DCS loading properly,

now my DCS is running super, iam just scared to death of any mods :pilotfly:

[RichardG]

I'm getting runtime errors in flight. Any word from developers about this? I'm not running any mods, and I have the download version, no starforce.

[concrete254]

I have just bought this game and have now reinstalled 4 times with the same problem.

 

Have the up to date starforce

 

Running a 2.5 core due, with 1 gig nvidia, windows vista basic.

 

I have not seen any real answers or any cures to this problem.:helpsmilie:

 

Frontend gui is fine, mission editor is fine, try to fly, the point of the game, and this error of runtime terminated in an unusual manner comes up.:cry:

 

Could we get some kind of direction to look please?:doh:

[Jack McCoy]

Did you guys try to run without Fullscreen? Try 1024x768. If it works, leave Fullscreen off, but put the resolution to your LCD's native resolution.

[concrete254]

Hi Jack, yes ran without fullscreen with graphics set to lowest in game possible and highest. Disabled all antivirus and any non essential programs.

 

This issue seems to have been around for a while, i am trying to find any patches, but no patch found yet.

This crash does not seem related to the protect.dll problem, or maybe you have some more data that we dont know about yet? (I cant see that from the data you have provided here) :)

 

If it's a different variant of problem, see if you can create your own thread.

See what you can provide of information - there's a bunch of good hints in these threads:

Please read before posting: HOW TO REPORT BUGS

READ THIS BEFORE REPORTING A GAME CRASH

 

We all need to do a little bit of work to help you, but if you have data that can help us get there faster, that will be better for all of us :)

 

Maybe you have some data in the Event Log, Applications/System? Or the temp folder of Ka-50?

[EtherealN]

Looks like there's a problem with one of the controls you use with the game. Are you using a Saitek g15 keyboard, microsoft sidewinder mouse, or saitek x52 PRO HOTAS stick?

[kraai498]

EtherealN,

i am using:

-Microsoft sidewinder mouse,

-Saitek ST290pro (joystick)

-Microsoft keyboard (natural ergonomic 4000)

 

Can 1 of these cause any problems?

[EtherealN]

There is a known problem with the Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse, and I am not entirely sure there is a current fix for that problem. (Patch 1.0.1 will hopefully fix it, but I am not certain.)

 

Do you have any other mouse available that you can use to test if it works when not using the Sidewinder?

 

EDIT:

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=34598&highlight=Microsoft+Sidewinder+Mouse&page=2

 

The problem resides in some related Microsoft code, which bars ED from fixing it on their own. ED is in contact with Microsoft to find a solution, though.
