FC2 won't start, multiplayer displays a runtime error!

[Danwood]

Hi all, i've brought FC2 (i own LOMAC + FC1.1 as well) and installed it (re-installing first the other 2) and rebooting after.

 

When i go to start the game in single player, it appears a semi-blank window named "Lock on - flaming cliffs 2.0" but disappears within 1, 2 seconds, and nothing happens.

 

When i start multi, the loading screen cames but it is interrupted by an error window saying:

 

"Runtime error!

 

C:/Program files (x86)/ etc etc..

 

The application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application's support team for more informations."

 

Then i close it and the loading window crashes to windows.

 

 

i use Win7 64 with lastest Nvidia drivers and directX of feburary

 

 

Can someone help me :helpsmilie:

 

ty!

Screenshot of the error pls, but others had the same error, search the forum.

 

Are you starting it via the desktop icons or by double clicking the executables?

 

Some tried to install the latest directx9c from Microsoft and worked.

 

Also, you can try to uninstall all, reinstall just lockon (no need of flaming cliffs 1) and then install flaming cliffs 2 in a different folder than lockon (or in a subfolder). If you can, outside C:\program files.

Also, always run setup.exe as an administrator (left mouse click, run as administrator)

here the screen for the multi error, in single it simple wont start at all.

 

I will try to unistall then, and reinstall just lomac in another folder outside program files, but i tried once to install onli lomac, fc2 asks for 1.1 version all the time!

FC2 asks for any lockon 1.x. Even the original one without any patch works.

 

I've edited my previous post check it line by line plx.

yea. i tweaked win7 to run everything as admin, and tried also to check it in proprieties as well, but nothing. I guess i have to try the other way!

[Distiler]

Are you starting the sim via the icons or directly from launcher.exe or simulator.exe? (only will work via the icons)

 

Have you altered propierties of those two executables?

I run it via Icons,, itried to change the proprieties (win xp compatibility + run as administrator) but in either way it doesnt run

[Distiler]

Well, I really suggest you to uninstall it all, install lockon then install FC2 and execute setup.exe as an administrator (not just via w7 tweaks, but by right click on it and "run as an administrator"). Be sure directx9c is automatically installed during FC2 installation.

 

Also, search the forum for other alternatives to you same problem.

Also if i installed Lock On v1.0, FC 2.0 always asks me for Lock On v1.1 to be installed,

 

BUT maybe i got where the problem is:

 

At the ond of Lock On 1.0 installation, a window pop ups (see the attachment)

 

Maybe it doesnt install Lock On 1.0 as it shoul, and this is the cause of all my problems?

Your win7 might be a bit screwed (too much tweaking perhaps?). That dll is from Microsoft XML parser, you can download it from Microsoft website. Do it, then uninstall lockon, etc etc etc
