Game just do not start

[Gavilan]

Sorry if there is a solution somewhere in the forum, but after several hours looking I found nothing.

 

My problem is: several days after installing BS, and with everything working fine, it just stop to work just like that. I mean, no Launcher.exe error, no .crash file, no CTD... it just do not start after clicking the BS icon on desktop, or in the Start menu, or even de DCS.exe file in BS directory. All I can notice is some brief program indication in Windows Status bar, very quickly, but after all... nothing. It just don´t startup.

 

My system:

Intel Quad Core Q8200

2 GB Ram

NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

Vista Ultimate

 

Thxs in advance.

 

EDIT: I just reinstall everything... and no solution yet.

* Look if there are any records about the error in the Windows event log (via Event Viewer). A full error text is needed. How to open Event Viewer.

 

* Run DirectX Diagnostic Tool (dxdiag.exe), click Save All Information button and attach it to the message here. How to run dxdiag.

 

I assume you use the latest Black Shark version 1.0.1c.

Hey, thanks for the prompt response.

 

* I look out in Event viewer but no error related to DCS.exe or Launcher.exe.

 

* Attached is the result of DXdiag. No errors in my opinion.

 

On the other hand, if I try to start the multiplayer .exe, then a CTD with the Microsoft C++ runtime error is displayed:

And yes, I am running version 1.01.

 

I hope this information could lead ED tech team to a solution. Seems to me there are many related problems to this odd behavior. Maybe a new patch on the way??

Dear ED Team

 

I expended 40 bucks downloading this game, just to be able to play for less than a week.

 

PLEASE, I understand that a very complex simulation like this, in a such a variable filled environment like Windows is very difficult to tune up and to fix all possible bug that appears. But at least, try to give me any indication or chance of solution. It is really annoying to wait for any post from you and just wait and see how days coma and go and still nothing.

 

:(

UPDATE

 

I was able to run the program, unplugging my Logitech Force 3D Pro Joystick.

 

Any hint about that? Or I will have to use other device for flying??
