Can't Start the Game?

Post by VolklZ »

Well, Everything works fine, the launcher, I click start. Game Guard launches up everything seems fine, then some off error pops up looks like a bunch of question marks. Here's a picture of it.

First this, but this disappears.(Also, this comes up too fast for me to take a pic, So i got this off of someone elses thread, So if that means anything, but I know its the same thing.)

And this pops up.

So please if anyone could help, Please help me.

Sincerely,
VolklZ

game and its all fine.

the game? maybe something went wrong while
installing or patching

You shouldn't get BSLib Debug Assertion if the game still loads, because that means you have an error in your sexecutable file to boot.

The '????' error is simply a graphical anomoly, usually instantiated by conflicting of drivers, or some stupid decimal point is off.

Try reading the stickies, numerous solutions are offered there (for your second error).

As for the BSLib, try to confirm that it truly is the BSLib Debug, yada yada... And I will look into it.

I always thought that the ???? Bug is a bug that was originally copyd out of the Korean game. But never translated.

No, all the bugs were from the Korean version, the game originated in Korean. This particular bug was never translated because it uses a Korean lang file, but it still says the same as any error says:

This program has crashed.
Here are your system specs.
Send this in to be investigated.
Blah blah blah...

It solely deals with driver issues for your graphics card. Well, Driver, and conflicting settings. I haven't recieved an error or disconnect in over 2 weeks of playing/stalling almost 24/7, because I went through and thoroughly removed all extraneous data, and information, updated all my local drivers (even chipset/mobo/GPU), and reseated my IDE cables, my memory, dustd my comp a bit, and reset my internet connection by flushing the memory and making use of DHCP.

I just updated my drivers a bit ago, Also, my Graphics card has to be good enough because I was playing this a while ago. But it might be something messed up that from FileFront, So im going to try it from a different site.
And we'll see fromt here. :wink:

DON'T make them Win98/Me.

When you re-install, make sure you wipe your registry, it kinda sves all the problems you had with the original install.

If you update your drivers, make sure you have the newest WHQL certified and do it when the game is uninstalled.

WHQL = Windows Hardware Quality Labs

I used to do WHQL tested for the Intel GFX driver, here's WHAT it is:

Because i still want to keep my job, here is a pretty good read about WHAT WHQL is Link

Getting something WHQL certified is a HUGE deal in the computer industry, it can save you tons of money if you take the time to get the certifications. Also, WHQL certification means that the driver is mostly bug free.
It's like beating a dead stick with a horse
