TexasBread Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hello, I've just installed a clean copy of lock on and FC2 and when I try to start the game clicking on the multiplayer icon the splash screen comes up and then crashes and doesnt give me any error messages (It just says FC2 has stopped working). I can start the game in singleplayer but when I try to start a mission it crashes on the same splash screen. I've tried reinstalling, running as admin, compatibility mode, update my drivers. At this point I don't know what else to do. My rig: Vista 32 bit Nvidia 250 GTS 1GB 4GB ram Quad core 2.8Ghz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Design Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Did you install the patch? What about the .error and .crash? Carlos "Design" Pastor AMD64x2 5200+, 4GB DDR2, Asus M2V, Nvidia Geforce GTX260, Win7 x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasBread Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 I looked into that. I don't have an eagle dynamics folder in the local/virtual store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzertard Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Texas, the sim is trying to get your username to insert into a config (first time setup of MP/SP etc) - but it cannot. What you can try is to: - Install into a different directory, outside program files, ex: C:\Games\Eagle Dynamics - Remember to use an Admin to install the game. Normally you shouldn't have this problem - perhaps you have some security software on your PC that prevents FC2 from operating properly?

I don't have any security and the first time I installed I installed into program files and didn't work. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled outside of program files into the C drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzertard Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 From what I can see the problem happens when FC2 asks "Windows, tell me the username so I can insert it into the MP config". This works in normal Vista/Windows 7 - tested it quite much. And you dont have any security software that blocks such requests. Now, I wonder - have you set FC2 to always run as admin/compatability mode? This means it could be running under a "anon account", there is no username to find - hence it crashes. If thats the case - set everything back to normal and try again. Further - now it's time to temporary disable UAC - while starting the game for the first time. - Disable UAC, reboot. - Run SP once. - Run MP once. - Return UAC to normal settings. Reboot - Recheck MP to see if it's normal this time. The mind is like a parachute.

Then I uninstalled and reinstalled outside of program files into the C drive Hm, and you said \Temp was empty? You had to dig into \Virtualstore .... to find the .Crash file? If so - then there's conflicting information in what you say. If you install under \Program Files - all changes will go to \Virtualstore If you install outside the protected \Program Files in a user-created folder (such as "C:\Games") all changes should be stored there.
