Application error

Austsaint · 09-05-2009, 10:16 PM

I have finished about 120 games in my first season and I had no problems at all with the game. I tried to play a game last night and the came up with an ootp10.exe application error. It says it failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Does anybody have a solution for this?, I hope I can save my career as I have spent a lot of time playing the game and I love the game. If it can't be saved, does anybody know what caused it?, I had to change the resolution of my screen for a different game and also I downloaded the drivers for my graphics card, could these actions affect the game?

thanks for any help,

Peter

We probably need a little more info. So when specifically are you getting the error - is it when you try to open OOTP? Or after your saved game loads and when you try to go to a specific spot?

If OOTP and your saved game loads OK but then crashes while you are playing sometime, then try creating another league and see if the crashing still exists. It is possible that your game is corrupted.

I'm not a computer expert, but it seems at least possible that a video driver update could cause issues with facegen or another part of OOTP. If the above doesn't work, I would try uninstalling the driver update and see if that makes the problem go away.

Good luck. I hope you get it straightened out. At least maybe if you give some more specifics on exactly what is happening, maybe someone will have an idea.

It is when I try to open the game, I can't even get to the menu. Does this sound like a graphics problem?, though if I can't even open the game it doesn't sound like one to me.

I think it does initialize your video drivers for facegen then. I would try seeing if you can uninstall your driver update and change the res back to see if the game will respond again. At worst case, you'll be able to rule that out.

Seems like there is an error log to point to where the error occurs. Maybe somebody else can jump in to help with that aspect.

If I remove the driver updates then maybe other games won't work..

Yeah, I suppose that's true.

Here is a link where somebody had the same problem:
I want to get started, but I can't!

They potentially attributed it to a virus/malware, but that may or may not be true in your case. There is a link in there that described the memory access issue you are seeing at any rate.

I read the articles and I tried to make sense of how and what to do, but to be honest it seems a little over my head.

It's a little over my head too - I'm not a computer genius either. But the upshot is that something is preventing proper memory access, maybe some malware. You can try running some various anti-malware programs to see if you can get rid of it. The brute force approach would be to format your hard drive and reinstall Windows. Might work, might not.

Another thought out loud. Can you try to see if OOTP loads in safe mode? That might demonstrate that it is indeed a virus/malware.

Other thought. There is a way to start OOTP in tracemode, which provide a boot log to show where it is crashing. In OOTP 9 there was a way to start it in tracemode from the start menu.
