  • Crashing at Startup

    07. 03. 2011 22:05


Squirg
I've been able to run NF fine on this computer until HS came out. Now, the game crashes at the loading screen after the launcher. I can't even get to the login screen.

Info:

PC
32 bit Windows Vista
AMD Athalon LE-1620 2.4 GHz
2 GB of RAM

Clean install in the Program Files directory.
Running in WIN98 compatibility mode.

Also there's this crash report:

Squirg I also had this once. Try close all none essential background programs and codecs to see if it helps (and I really mean everything down to only windows essential programs). If it does turn on one at the time and see what causing it.
It will most likely be a program, but some codecs can cause the game to crash or HS to react to something.

First off I would try to make sure its not a HS issue

I know theirs an update exe at

..\SD EnterNET\NavyFIELD\HShield\HSUpdate.exe

Run that and report back if you are able to login, and remember you must run the game as an Admin

Ran the updater, no luck. I always run it as an admin, still no luck there either.

Also tried the other suggestions I've seen around such as disabling visual themes and running it in 256 colors... Still crashing.

-> Run the launcher
-> Updates run fine, connects to server fine, start game.
-> Game starts up, the Navyfield splash art comes up
-> NF loading symbol appears
-> Second splash art screen loads
-> Game crashes to desktop

Thanks, I combed my programs and thought that maybe some of my autohotkey scripts would be causing HS to flip. Turns out those were the problem, and disabling them lets me play NF now.

OK more details please what programs were involved?

The program that was specifically causing the problem was my Autohotkey script. Basically, Autohotkey lets you bind keys to perform almost any action on your comp. To do this it keeps an .exe of your script running in the background. My particular script was one that opened my CD drive whenever I pressed my rctrl key. Exiting the script allowed me to run NF without crashing.
