jack72 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I was playing the game and trying to start the BS by clicking on the start-up procedure. When I exited I got a "Launch Error". After shutting my system down and rebooting, I cannot get into the game, and I only get a Launch Error. I searched this site and got this information __________________________________________ Q: Launcher.exe errors: 1. Empty window contents, or error with LuaModules\gui\WidgetTheme.cpp, or error with blackshark\blackshark.lua :198: Lua stack corrupted!, or atioglxx.dll A1: It's a known bug of new Catalist drivers (versions above 9.x). It's necessary to disable Catalyst A.I. control or set it to standard. __________________________________________ What does this mean and what do I do now. Where is the Catalyst A.I. and how do I find it. I am using Winxp SP2 or 3, Nvida 8800GT, (don't know how to determine what dirver version I have), Trackir 4, Any help would be appreciated.
EtherealN Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Could you post the details of your launch error (screenshot or whatever), as well as a DxDiag output file (directions here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=44466 )? Since you are using nVidia, Catalyst stuff is irrelevant to you - that's ATI/AMD.

EtherealN Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Hm. That is a bit weird. My first instinct was the UAC problem with Vista/7 when installing into Program Files, but you're running XP. Do you have any mods or such installed? I'd like to eliminate such issues, so if you could uninstall DCS:BS, then reinstall to vanilla version 1.0.0 (as long as you don't change hardware this will not cost you an activation), and test that again. If it works, try to replicate everything you did to make it happen the first time. If it still doesn't happen, patch to 1.0.1 and try that again. But before that, one question: are you starting through the shortcuts prepared by the installer (in the start menu or desktop), or ones you've made yourself or through doubleclicking the exe's? It needs to be started through the prepared shortcuts to get some parameters right. Starting through the exe's directly can cause the failure to access that autoexec file.

jack72 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 I will do as you requested and delete and reinstall... If I get the game running I do not wish to replicate the situation to get the error.....if I can help it.... Will advise as I will try this tonight.
jack72 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 EtheralN..... Thanks ofr you help so far.... Just a note... I tried to check my driver and Forceware version I have 167.36. I am using a BS icon that is on the desktop. I believe it was the one in the Eagle Dynamic/Ka-50 folder and moved it to the desktop after I installed the game...could this be an issue...and if so, is it possible to have a desktop icon then? I have no modes execpt the offcial updates release by ED.
