FC2 Crash when trying to do a quick start mission

[JimBeamBlack]

Hello everyone just received my copy of Lock On Plat today and installed both Lock On and FC2. I'm having a bit of a problem so I hope someone can help.

 

Lock On works as it always has (I have an old copy of LOMAC that I uninstalled before installing the one I just got today) I can start the program FC2 , I can set my options , and when I go into Quick Start it crashes with this error:

 

 

then after I close this error window it then goes to the mission debriefing?

 

I can then just close and exit FC2 altogether , so it is NOT a hard lock error.

 

When I go into the windows 7 error logs it shows this error:

 

 

I will attach a 64bit DXdiag (below)

 

System Specs are:

 

M4N82 Deluxe

AMD X4 965 Black Edition (stock)

EVGA GTX480

ASUS Xonar D2

OCZ Reaper HPC SLI 4GB (2 x 2GB)DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066

350gig WD SATA/System installed with Windows 7 64bit Pro

750gig WD Games ; 1TB WD/storage and video

ASUS My Cinema-EHD3-100 PCI-e TV card

PC P&C 860Watt PSU (powerful single 12volt rail)

Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW

ASUS Burner and DVD drive

 

I can run at least 100 games (including the A10c DCS and LOMAC) most at full detail , the system has been up for almost a year and I run MalewareBytes and NOD32 AV resident.

 

if you need any other info please just let me know , also I tried to find the error crash dump of FC2 but there is no FC2 temp file.

 

thanks:D

The faulting module is XAudio, so the error is related to your sound card.

 

Your DxDiag also contained this:

       Sound Tab 1: The file cmudaxp.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL).  You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer.
       Sound Tab 2: No problems found.
       Sound Tab 3: The file cmudaxp.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL).  You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer.

 

I'd recommend uninstalling the sound drivers, running DriverSweeper to ensure we don't have any partial fragments, and then re-installing them. At least we will then be able to be sure that the system itself is healthy.

[JimBeamBlack]

Yeah I know my sound drivers are not signed and its a bummer , but I have an ASUS XonarD2 sound card and for the past 3 years (since the cards launch) ASUS has not , and stated they will not , release a WHQL driver , and believe me I have complained but they insist there is no need.

 

But other then that I'm more then sure my system is healthy , I played both A10c and LOMAC last night and then played Battlefield BC2 for about 3 hours (which I play hours on end nearly every night) with no issues. I literally have somewhere around 100 games , both in STEAM and EA downloader and none of them have given me problems with sound , this sound card is better than any sound card , including my X-Fi which is a POS , I have ever owned.

 

But just to be sure I will uninstall my sound driver and then reinstall it , I have a registered version of DriverCleaner.net and its fully updated , do you think I need Driver Sweeper or can I use the DC.Net.

I will find and download Driver Sweeper just in case.

 

Thanks for you help , I wonder do I have the latest version of FC2? it says 1.2.1.0 , I have looked but I don't see if there are any patches or updates on the site.

 

thanks again for helping :D , I'll reinstall my Sound driver right now and try it , I also have an older driver that I can try that is not WHQL signed BUT doesn't give the DXdiag not signed error for some reason.

 

I wanna fly that F15!!:pilotfly:

 

PS: I updated the version of LOMAC I got with FC2 to 1.02 , could that have anything to do with it?

[JimBeamBlack]

OK , I removed the XonarD2 driver and ran DC.Net for C-Media Audio , I then put the last driver from ASUS on and ran DXdiag , where it says WHQL it says "n/a" but it does not give the not signed error.

 

AND the game runs!! lol

 

The only difference I could see from this driver to the newer one is the newer one adds a right click menu to the tray icon which I will never use.

 

but check out this dxdiag I am uploading now (below)

 

I am going to report this to ASUS...not that they will care but I'm gonna do it anyways and post it in the ASUS Xonar forums.

 

THANK YOU for the idea of cleaning out that driver , sometimes newer drivers does not always mean better.

 

PS: I have played a bunch of games this weekend and this week as I am finishing up Fallout NV (120hours:D) and Splinter Cell Conviction and I have had no other problems with this driver , thats just strange.

Which version of LOMAC you have when installing FC2 has no influence.

There are only two versions of FC2 - the release version (1.2) and the patched version (1.2.1).

 

A10C uses the same sound engine as FC2, same with DCS:BS, so if it was the internal plumbing of the sound system that caused this then the problem should occur in all of them. But it's XAudio that is faulting, not the internal engine, as far as I can see from your crash dumps.

 

EDIT: Sniped. :) Great to know it works now. :) And yeah, I am very paranoid about drivers. My graphics card runs on a driver from March this year I think, and my sound driver is from the tail end of 2008. If it ain't broke, don't fix it etcetera. :P

[JimBeamBlack]

Yeah I thought it was funny that I could fly the F15 in LOMAC and the A10 (AWESOME game BTW) in my new DCS A10c game and then this one didn't work , BUT drivers are funny things and all 7 of my speakers work with this old driver soo like you said...if'n it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

I do like the new Nvidia drivers though , I was playing some ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead this weekend..on ALL high detail and it was incredible!!

 

I am a graphics and sound junkie!! lol

 

thanks again for lend'n a hand sir!! I'm off to fly some quick F15 missions with some new sweet graphics!! (then I gotta read all this stuff about the A10c , it took me an hour the other night just to find out how to lock on a target and fire a Maverick!! , just about wore out my Pause/break key! LOL)
