DCS World Crashes After Selecting Mission

[ddocg]

Hi,

 

I have installed DCS World and unfortunately it is not running :(.

 

My machine specs are

 

Windows XP SP3 Now Upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64

Core 2 Duo @ 2.40Ghz

3GB Ram Now Upgraded to 8Gb

ATI 5700 Video Card @ 1024MB

 

Upon completion of installation of DCS World 1.2.2 I open the Desktop shortcut for single player and select Instant Action, I then choose SU25 on a ground attack mission at this point I am returned to my Desktop and a CMD window opens then closes, the mission never loads and I end up with a memory error message being that it is unable to read a certain address.

 

I am at work right now and won't be able to confirm the error message until later when I return home.

 

I'd appreciate comments and\or help as to where I might be going wrong.

 

Many thanks

 

Dave.

Hugely Unimpressed

 

Title says it all really, I had DCSW working and now I find it won't even launch or update or repair for that matter.

 

Like others I now receive the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

 

Further I find there appears to be no solution to this problem or even a post from the developers in a prominent position acknowledging the problem far less any workaround.

 

I was tempted to uninstall then reinstall however, I note that I can't even check what modules I have bought from DCS on their website as each time I try to log in I receive four options one of which is to check payments on my account however clicking the payments option I am taken to a page showing which modules are available to buy!

 

I was caught out this way before when I had previously bought DCS BS however no record of that transaction existed on my account and I was effectively forced to buy it again after downloading DCSW.

 

So, it seems I am left with ~$100 of software that has a mind of its own.

Impressed

 

Okay I appear to be making some progress :)

 

I found this http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=88164

 

Goto post #3 and download the VC++ 2010 redistributable - in my case the x64 version

 

You should then open Control Panel > Add Remove Programs and check what VC++ 2010 versions you have installed > the version you download from above will be version 10.0.30319 anything other than this version will give you the 000007b error so make sure you only have 10.0.30319 installed.

 

I had 10.0.40429 installed and had to remove it, in doing so I am now currently updating DCS World albeit slowly however I have not received any errors yet.

 

Thanks and hope this helps someone

Check your options that the resolution is not over your monitors max resolution, otherwise the game will crash. For some reason after this update some settings were changed.

This might help, as it worked for me
