Launcher Issues

[Aceonfire]

First just wondering if anyone else's launcher all of sudden began to not fully open after launch. It hang nearly right away. 

 

I've removed/reinstalled etc. Tried various compat options. Installed to a diff locations etc no joy. 

 

Logs only show an application exception occurred but need to dig deeper down the rabbit hole. 

 

Either way I'll not be in game for a bit and if someone could pass a message on to my fellas in AoD that'd be great.

Hi Aceonfire,

 

Sorry to hear your having issues, it could have been the recent .Net update from MS but its defo not a server side issue I can assure you of that. I have informed your Guild though and wish you a fast resolution.

 

All the best,

I wish it was that simple Yeti. 

 

My windows install was about 3 years old and I broke my own rule on doing an in place upgrade from 10-11. Actually wasnt really anything to do with the problem but when I went to reload windows I had other issues and it turned out to be a bad cap on the motherboard. I bought memory and drives first since I wanted to upgrade em anyways but the error was still there. My motherboard is only like 3 months old so I popped my old one in and am waiting on the RMA. This one has a dead pci-e lane and it hard reboots under any load with my main gpu in. 

 

I'm gonna be doing at least 1 Starfield playthrough once I get the mobo back and I'm also gonna be putting some time in BG3. I've been looking forward to em both for a while and they seem like they are safe buys and not too riddled with bugs. I'll be logging back in to EnB though as soon as I'm up and running

Hi Aceonfire,

 

Oh man sorry to hear that, thats some major bad luck (I have been really lucky in my PC/IT career and not had MB issues - famous last words and now my MB blows up I bet!) But that said it does show that issues beyond the control of the install do exist and that ppl should not blindly assume its the fault of the install .

 

Hope you have fun playing Starfield but I'm sure we will see you back at some point in the future...week/month/quater/year/decade

 

All the best,

First i've heard of any odd behaviors with the launcher client in a long time (we haven't updated the code behind it in quite a long time to boot). That said if anyone can replicate it might help to capture some details if we can. Even if just procmon data from the process to show where it might have "died" or hung up without resulting in an error state

The lane on my last one Yeti and this cap are my first 2, but - I've also moved into a Cape Cod style house with a basement built in 55. Great house but with age, comes that black dust of doom I've seen in so many client's pc's.  I need to get the vents cleaned out I'm sure the old owners never did. My last place with a townhouse built in the 2000's so it was super clean. 

 

Heya Kyp thanks for the offer but this was a hardware problem. EnB was just aggravator. It was the only thing I did that put the pc under any load so after a few chars at login screen and cpu over about 30%, all types of halt errors were showing up in the logs for everything,
