For Poeple That Can't Start the Game - Part 2

[GS_Schimpf]

For me the game ran fine until today when it suddenly restarted my pc everytime I tried to run RO.

So I switched to my second account and strangely it started withaout any probs.

After fiddling around I just deleted the contents of C:\Windows\Prefetch
and it worked again!!!

So my hint to all users with that rebooting problem:

Delete the contents of c:\windows\prefetch\

Then reboot your pc.

I hope it helps you, as it worked for me!

I uninstalled folder lock, and it worked. Wohoo! No re-install of steam or RO required. Just doesnt like folder lock.

now to try the game!

What is "folder lock"?

[Bean101]

Its a program for encrypting and hiding files and folders. I had it and uninstalled it just a minute ago and now RO works fine. Thanks Coverlim, would never have thought to uninstall folder lock otherwise.

I never had Folder Lock on my system, so that's not my issue. Also, I don't run any software firewalls or AV. I have Security Center disabled. I tried to launch from both the Desktop Shortcut and from within Steam, both give the same result.

I put this out as an FYI to the devs.

I've been playing RO just fine. Generally I launch from a shortcut on the desktop that has: E:\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 1200 in the Target Line.

Yesterday, for some reason, I started Steam first, then launched from within Steam and received the error I show below. Upon exiting that error I received a Run Time error (I failed to capture that one, sorry). I used to start from within Steam quite often, but lately I have just been using the shortcut.

I exited Steam and started RO from the desktop shortcut and all was well. I have never run anything Norton or from Zone Labs. The problem is moot and not an issue. The game runs fine. I thought perhaps you would interested to see the error.

hey, yeah.. if i need to upload them i will, but for now, i think i'll just explain my problem...
I click to start it, the little window thing opens up, it make s a noise, the error noise window makes, and a window pops up, and this is excactly what is says..
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library"
"Runtime Error! Program: ...SteamApps\booman276\red orchestra\system\RedOrchestra.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Thats what it says, i deleted those things you said and did everything you said i should, i have uninstalled and re-installed both Red Orchestra, and Steam. This is a big problem because i want to play this game. thank oyu for taking my problem into consideration....
i just did a system recovery on my comp, and its a fairly good computer as it was before..also, i dont have any program called "file locker" "or lock file" thing or whatever...i really wish this could work..this last part is not a rant or me venting my frustrations..but i think alot of people would agree with me to say this game may have been shipped rather hastily to meet deadlines, without troublshooting first.....

I have the same problem worked fine until the 26 April then I got the same error msg have uninstalled Steam and RO do not have Zone Alarm or Norton any products,
but I have found a Microsoft Automatic update if you have Automatic updates turned on it is KB905474 and since then it has not worked is this related.
By the way this update cannot be removed I have rung Microsoft Tech support about this.

I don't know if that update is running on my system, but I have Automatic Updates disabled.

Can anyone with runtime or debug errors tell us whether you have overclocked your processor and/or video card?

Yes to both. I am using the OC feature in Catalyst Control Center to OC both of X1900XT's, I am running Crossfire, Cat 6.3 drivers. I have OC'd my Opteron 175 from 2.2Ghz to 2.42Ghz.

Putting in a post for Boomer

His thread here

His dmp file

[kAMIKAZE]

For Boomer:

I looked at his minidump. His computer has malware. Specifically a Trojan. File name is ordermas2.dll. It is fairly new first seen 04/16/06.

There is a program that claims it can remove the malware. The program is Prevx1. I'm not familiar with this software nor do I use it. I just mentioned it for information purposes only.

As I posted above:

This worked for me!

[kAMIKAZE]

To ogm.k4rl:

According to your minidump, the restart/BSOD was caused by Zone Alarm.

Either uninstall Zone Alarm or use the Zone Alarm crash workaround found on this thread http://www.redorchestragame.com/foru...ead.php?t=6017

[ogm.k4rl]

Well must say many thanks to Kamikaze and Gs_Shimpf for the quick reply, just uninstalled zone alarm and the game seems to be working fine.
Played for one hour and i had no problem until now.

[peterman2112]

I have totally reformated and have now re-installed RO and steam 3 times and am still getting the same runtime error as Turgo..
I just tried deleting my RO folder under the steam apps folder and after I hit delete i got a bluescreen of death???

What next??

Please help..

[Osprey]

I get this error message:



Now I have browsed the forums, and I came accross people who say deleting the C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/<username>/red orchestra folder has fixed this problem for them. Not for me. I deleted it many times, re-installed the game and everything. I have ZoneAlarm, but I edited the shortcut for the fix, and even tried to launch RO with ZA disabled, but I still get this message. Any ideas?
