[Error] Runtime Library C++

[DyKo]

I have looked at most of the existing posts on this error, however none of them seem to work... here is what I have tried;

1- updating direct X
2- another update mentioned in a topic (forgot )
3- Verifying cache
4- running through exe located in steamapps>common>red orchestra>system
5- deleting the whole red orchestra files and reinstalling a fresh

None of these seem to work, here is the error from the exe.

Build RedOrchestra_Build_[2005-11-27_10.48]

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 1871 MHz with 1022MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT (7824)

General protection fault!

History: APlayerController::execGetPlayerIDHash <- (CinematicGame ROintro.CinematicGame @ Function Engine.GameInfo.PostLogin : 0369) <- UObject:rocessEvent <- (CinematicGame ROintro.CinematicGame, Function UnrealGame.CinematicGame.PostLogin) <- ULevel::SpawnPlayActor <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Free

and also the error when running straight from steam...

Runtime error!

Program: ...m\steamapps\common\red orchestra\system\redorchestra.exe

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications bla bla bla bla...


Help would be greatly appreciated.

(P.s - don't ask about the name, I can't remember making this but apparently I already have an account on my email address, so meh )

Dyko we have one other player with your error. We believe it is tied to steam. Please contact steam support with the following info:

""SteamAPI_Init is failing" for Red Orchestra on my account"

 

[DyKo]

Thanks mate I'll report back here with any additional information.

 

[DyKo]

contacted support team, however no response, do we know how good these guys are on customer service lol?

 

[Yoshiro]

It takes them 3 to 5 days normally it depends on how many support requests they have. And make sure you got a confirmation ticket number both in your support account and email. If not the support request did not go to the final stage.

 

[DyKo]

Oh err... how do I do that?

the steam support website system looks like it was thrown together in five minutes, its confusing and i havnt got a response for this problem in a few days now, i have the same c++ problem. i dont get it, RO ran fine before..

 

[DyKo]

Same for me!

Sucks right? we buy a product off them, they can't be arsed to maintain it :/

Steam support is slower than YOSHI responding here in the forums, you must give it a bit of time.

Sorry guys, we dont have any control over Steam's Support System...sadly, we are at their mercy when it comes to Steam's problems. And trust me, you guys are one of the many RO players that have had problems with Steam. In general, though, the system works fine...probably about 80% of the time people have no issues with any games. I would like to see it over 90%, but they are adding soo much new stuff now days that they're bound to have some issues.

Please bear with us and them, you will get back to RO goodness soon =)

Yeh hopefully... I haven't played since mid 08 hehe.

Yeh hopefully... I haven't played since mid 08 hehe.

me neither, i stopped playing the day this happened and got frustrated when I couldn't fix it and just quit for awhile.. it's lame because I want to get back into it and the way things are going I won't be able to.... this is bull****

 

[DyKo]

Still no response from steam support. Suppose they are too busy drinking beer a playing pool :/

 

[DyKo]

Update : Reformatted PC because it was getting too cluttered anyway, if this works, than it's the only method I can think of resolving this issue.

I'll post again if its a success.

 

[DyKo]

confirming that it works

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Best of luck to you...

What OS is everyone using that is getting this error? I would try right clicking on the .exe of RO and pick Run as Administrator to see if you still get the error. If you still get the error try Right clicking on the .exe and click compatibility tab and try running as Windows 2000. See if doing either of these changes anything and post back.

Also another thing to do is to make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed, Latest Video and Sound Drivers, and you can actually install Visual C++ Redistributables for 2005 and 2008. Dyko this is not directed toward you but future problems with this just to see what happens.

Just try these items and report back for anyone getting this type of error. Shouldn't have to reformat upon this error.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, 7clown i did exactly what you said and turned on windows 2000 compatibility mode and then switched it back and it runs fine now.
