Game Crash

Post by Magpius »

Reinstalled onto Windows 10 Machine.
Updated to latest patch, (2.28b)
Crash.

Message as follows.
Any thoughts?
What's irrKlang.NET4.dll, it is in the games folder, but it is still not working.
Thanks an advance.


See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

A friend, who has another friend in Australia, sent me this link, that is the probable solution. His friend had the same problem, and so did he:

https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.a ... ey=&#65533;

In short Vic says:
Hi,

For the 'keys' issue you'll have to contact Matrix support. My mission is just to make your game run.

The thing is all seems ok. However you must be a special case as hundreds of other installs worked..

(a) option A

What might be the case is that your system is missing 'MSVCR100.DLL'.

You could do a search (see magnifying glass on your taskbar) for this filename first.

It should be properly re-installed with this microsoft installer:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... px?id=5555
(restart computer afterwards)

(b) option B

What might be the case is that your system is missing 'VCRUNTIME140.DLL'.

You could do a search (see magnifying glass on your taskbar) for this filename first.

It should be properly re-installed with this microsoft installer:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=52685
(chose the x86 version, and restart computer afterwards)



Let me know how this goes and if you have these 2 files installed in the first place?

best wishes,
Vic

Hope this helps

No luck, I'm afraid.
Downloaded the .dll's placed them into the Game directory.
Similar error message which I'll post up.
Thanks for the try.

Now I don't claim to know a lot about dll files, but I am not sure copying them into the directory is the same as installing them...

In any case, I have contacted Vic.

Ernie is right, you need to run the microsoft installers.

sorry for the hassle. it is a bit of a puzzle to me why 1 in 500 machines do not have these dll's pre-installed...

Odd.
I did run these through M.S. installer.
Will try running in a different order.
1. DLL's 1st
2. A reinstall.

Appreciate the support Vic Ernie et.al.

Still annoying. Not satisfactory.

I can only hope we find a solution.

maybe your on the older version of windows 10, you need to update to (10.0, Build 19042) (19041.vb_release.191206-1406) which is the latest called 20H2

Code: Select all

which has the latest and best version of NET4
Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 22621) (22621.ni_release.220506-1250)

Nope, did a complete windows and driver update. Included some.net drivers that I thought would do the trick.
Then a cleaned regedit and removed any old bits of program.
Then a fresh download and install.
Same outcome.
It's odd how the 227 legacy works, but something in 228 spits the dummy.

227g runs using NET, while 228b runs NET4.

Sorry,

This is a bit of a puzzle to me as well. I just went over the dependencies of irrklang again.

And it actually seems it needs the VC redistributables for x86 (32 bit systems).

Could you still give that one last try?:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/top ... f26a218cc0
(pick the x86 one)

or in case that doesn't work... this one:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloa ... px?id=5555

let me know...

sorry for the hassle. if this doesn't work i am a bit at a loss.

best wishes,
Vic

When I'm sure you have bigger fish to fry, you spend some time helping one old gamer from Aus.
Thank you sir.
It worked.

Hi Chuck.
I've been away from games for quite a while.
(Discovered fly fishing as a way from not staring at computers).
But this game keeps calling out.
Great to see you're still about.
Vic's support incredible.
