Microsoft visual library C++ run time error

[sfsoundhound]

Hello everyone,

 

I get a run time error with dcs.exe whenever I try to start a mission. I have uninstalled/reinstalled like 8 times with different directories, as administrator, did disk cleanup, removed all un necessary programs, installed the patch, still would not work.

 

This is about 5 seconds after I click "begin" or "fly" or whatever the start button is. It's not just missions it's everything. Instant action, training etc...

We need a lot more information about your system, OS and drivers to be able to analyze this problem.

 

You have crash logs in the Temp folder of your DCS:BS install directory, zip those and attach them here. Error logs might also help, same location. However, the most helpful would be a DxDiag output file - directions on how to obtain one can be found in the sticky thread "Help us Help you" here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=44466

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

 

Program: C:\games\BlackShark\bin\stable\dcs.exe

 

This application has requested the runtime terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team.

 

This is the exact error that only happens when I try to fly any sort of mission/training/tutorial/instant action.

 

My computer is an HP Pavilion dv5-1002nr entertainment notebook PC. AMD Radeon HD 3200 graphics with 512mb. Windows Vista. AMD Turion x2 64.

 

can you be more specific as to how I obtain the error log? The temp directory in my blackshark directory is empty.

[EtherealN]

Empty? That's interesting... Probably means that no error log nor crash dump was created.

 

See if you can arrange that DxDiag output file, it'll give much better and more detailed information than anyone has any time to type and will give us an easily parsed overview to look for things that might cause the issue. Again, directions in the previously linked thread. Use "Go Advanced" and then the paperclip to attach.

 

Aside from that, there might be something telling in the error log that was hopefully spawned by windows. Basically, when you press fly, the launcher.exe applications saves information to the Temp folder, calls the dcs.exe application, and then closes itself (to free up memory). It appears that something is causing this to get intercepted. You could start by running as administrator, but in that install directory that shouldn't make as big a difference.

 

Check for windows logs like this:

Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Problem Reports and Solutions > View Problem History

 

Look up dcs.exe and/or launcher.exe in there. Doubleclick the entries and it'll give some information that might help. An example of what it might look like (from my own machine) is this:

Make sure the files that would have been output to your \temp folder didn't get redirected under UAC babysitting procedures to the virtual store.

 

Mine hasn't created a folder (yet) for anything I do in DCS:BS but it did some for my playing in Lockon so look in a similar location to see if you're getting output there.

(Instead of ...\Program Files\yaddayadda yours would follow your own installation path for BS)

You'll need to provide us with info of what kind of PC hardware you're running, and the version of Windows you're using (XP, Vista or Windows 7, 32 or 64 bit) before we can help you out.

 

Best way is to run "dxdiag" command and then upload the details to us.

[astakomakaronada]

These are my pc's specifications.Thank you for your interesting

DxDiag.txt

Ok, it appears that you're running Vista 32bit, could you please follow this link and read the instructions

after carrying out the commands, reboot then re-run DCS Black Shark and see if the runtime errors persist.

It worked!!!The only problem is that the image doesn't cover the whole screen but i think this is something that can be fixed.

Thank you very much for your informations.I really appreciate you spent your time helping me.

Thats great :)

 

BTW when you say "the image doesn't cover the whole screen" that might be because you're in windowed mode, go into your options ingame and check your graphics settings.
