Crash to desktop? Vista players read this

[Reavantos]

Crashing to desktop after login?

what is happening is these files corrupt each time you logout:

global.th6

Mixfile_artXX.th6

network.ini

authlogin (sometimes one sometimes both!)

the trick to getting it to work for now :

load net 7 client

go to help > advanced settings > click "force update"

close net-7 launcher

reopen it

click update for both the launcher and EnB client (just in case)

after it checks files it will force update the corrupt files

login

Play!

hopefully mods will pin?

i do not know what is causing it. i am not a dev just a net eng

note: fpr best results ,ake sure all batch files (.bat files) as well as client exe are set to run in wondows xp compatibility mode

Not getting this on my 7 64 bit. See if you can get a copy of the actual proxy window and post it in the bugs area.

[Reavantos]

will do. ok so its limited to vista 32-64 then i will ammend the title thank you for your input

[snmavronis]

Is this going to happen every time I logout? I have to force the updates this way everytime I start the game or it crashes to the desktop when logging on.

Vista Ultimate 32-bit

Vista Ultimate 32-bit

yes it will. its only way to play on the vista kernel. Inconvinient. kinda. but its better than never playing enb again

[Reavantos]

Yes I do understand it's still in beta but the strange thing is my friend Bellash also runs Vista Ultimate 32-bit and his doesn't crash to desktop. We both have very similar system specs too. I actually picked out his PC and configured it online to be the same as mine, same graphics, card, memory, etc., although his is a Dell and mine is a Gateway.

I've tried your work-around. Still unable to get much further than log-in. I log, then screen cuts to desktop with msdos command prompt. Program gets to:

MVAS thread running

Then I get:

TCP Listener Thread exiting

TCP Listener Thread exiting

Then the program stops responding.

Any ideas?

Nevermind. Got it to work. I had to go into the folders for both EnB and Net7 and change the properties for all the batch and application files so that they would run in XP Compatibility mode. That seemed to do the trick.

Same here on this comp & the one my daughter is using. There IS the occasional annoying CTD, but no major malfunction that I know of. We get the message that ports 3802 & something else were closed. I will write it down next time.

[Reavantos]

ok well everyone who isnt having issues post specs. are you running dual or single cards etc? so far 2 people that have got in contact with me had SLI on vista

[xulei]

I had a single card that died and now have SLI on my vista 64 machine - never had any issues with either setup. Also have a vista 32 laptop and no issues on it either.

I have two systems running Vista 32 bit and tried shutting off the UAC on one of them...that seemed to work. Not sure what that actually does differently, but you might give it a try if you haven't already.

Oh yeah, mine is turned off too, not just running as admin

[Reavantos]

i always have uac disabled. i seems to not like more than 2 cores. certain versions of the triple core phenom as well

[xulei]

I also have UAC disabled on both comps

[Ayami]

I'm using Win7 Ultimate. And it happens to me EACH and EVERY time. It's VERY annoying x_x

Edit: Running in WinXP Compatibility mode seems to work for now.

When is the crash accuring? After the hand-scan animation, or during game play?

Try:

*Turning off the UAC

*Set Net-7 and EnB shortcuts to run as Admin, aswell setting the compatibility mode to XP.

Note: This setup should only be used for games that have been developed before Windows Vista. Please consult the Minimum System Requirements for your game to see if Windows Vista is listed before attempting to run your game in Compatibility Mode.

To run your game in Compatibility Mode:

1.Right-click the game's desktop shortcut icon and choose Properties.

2.In the Properties Panel, click the Compatibility tab.

3.Place a check in the Compatibility Mode checkbox.

4.Select Windows XP (Service Pack 2/3) in the mode box.

5.Click Apply to save your changes.

*If none of the above help, try setting the game resolution to the same setting as what your desktop is set to. Note that all these methods are for if you are crashing after the log-in screen, just as the hand-scan animation is about to animate. Or during the loading screen just after the hand-scanner. And these methods are for Vista/Win7 OS, being that these OS's are very picky on files being changed by other programs.

I hope this helps anyone having issues enjoying the game!

[Reavantos]

thanks. nut this is happening before the hand animation. i had vista black which didn't have uac enabled from the get gp
