Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: PSClient immediate crashing.

« on: March 03, 2009, 11:10:31 pm »

I see. Well in that case it's the one from my very first post.

Well. I had a look through my minidump folder and it seems there is no dump file being generated when the client crashes.

Sorry about the delay. Sometimes work interferes with fun.

I'm not trying to load a map. This happens immediately after starting the client up. The title screen shows and the game immediately crashes.
I am asked to save a dump file if the game is running in windowed mode, yet in full screen mode the option is not given.

My character is a Stonebreaker dwarf. I literally installed this game on the 20th. Played for around an hour, made my character, went through tutorial area and loaded into... well I don't know what the initial world area is called, but it all worked perfectly. This issue arose the next day the moment I opened psclient.exe and was faced with the two errorlogs from my initial post.

In an effort to find more information, I delved into xp's eventlogs to find this.

Faulting application psclient.exe, version 0.4.3.0, faulting module psclient.exe, version 0.4.3.0, fault address 0x002e0bfe.
and
Faulting application psclient.exe, version 0.4.3.0, faulting module psclient.exe, version 0.4.3.0, fault address 0x00314aca.

Sadly, that doesn't shed any light on it at all. However, it was also followed by...

Fault bucket 1154316713.

Which is a new one on me. A brief browse through the Microsoft forums suggest that this is caused by one of two things...
1. Improperly seated RAM.
2. A program using RAM incorrectly.

As I haven't moved my computer or the RAM since rebuilding my machine last October I'm willing to rule that out. RAM problems would have reared their head elsewhere as I play many games on this PC and have no other errors at all.
I plan on removing the game tomorrow and reinstalling in case something has become corrupted? Before I do though I would like to ask whether there are any files I should backup? Is my character stored locally or remotely?

Is there a way to get one that I'm missing?
To clarify. The first errorlog I posted is the game asking for one as it crashes. The second was retrieved by running via command prompt thus
psclient.exe > C:\errorlog.txt

First one, already done, forgot to mention it. I had to do that to get it working originally.
Second one, the VBO, tried, hasn't made a difference I'm afraid. I get the same errors.

Hi.
I installed this game yesterday and wandered through tutorial mode quite happily. However, today it refuses to start up. Being a sensible kinda chap I started reading through this forum and tried a few things.
Firstly, I ran the integrity checker which picked up a couple of files not working correctly and downloaded them. But, alas it still isn't working. I have two errors seemingly dependent on whether I try running the game fullscreen or not, as follows.

1. Without fullscreen selected.
Exception Access Violation. Error log created.
Sat Feb 21 15:26:21 2009, <..\..\src\client\sound\pssoundmngr.cpp:219 psSoundManager::Setup SEVERE>
Sat Feb 21 15:26:21 2009, Couldn't find iSoundRender!
Sat Feb 21 15:26:23 2009, Couldn't create Resource 'sound.standardButtonClick'
Sat Feb 21 15:26:23 2009, Couldn't create Resource 'gui.toolbar'
Sat Feb 21 15:26:23 2009, Couldn't create Resource 'gui.cancel'
Sat Feb 21 15:26:23 2009, Couldn't create Resource 'gui.ok'
Sat Feb 21 15:26:23 2009, Couldn't create Resource 'gui.scrolldown'
Sat Feb 21 15:26:23 2009, Couldn't create Resource 'gui.scrollup'
Sat Feb 21 15:26:23 2009, Couldn't create Resource 'gui.shortcut'
Sat Feb 21 15:26:23 2009, Couldn't create Resource 'gui.quit'

2. With fullscreen selected, crashes before it can produce an errorlog. So I ran it through CMD with the errorlog command and get this.
