4.33u3 CTD on start
-
Hi all,
Ever since updating to 4.33 U3, BMS refuses to start and load into the menu. I get to see the black Falcon BMS splash screen but then Windows reports there was a problem.
I’ve copied in the top of the crashlog and Event Log below.4.33U1 and 4.33U2 ran fine. I can repeat this error by removing Falcon 4.0 BMS completely, then do a fresh U1 install. Which starts fine.
Then update to U2, which is fine. Then apply U3 and I immediately hit the problem. Note that I did not enable high-res textures or anything else during that fresh install, all options are as per default.I’ve also deleted that d3d9x??? file but that didn’t help.
This is on my rig with [email protected], 8GB RAM, GTX 760 with 2GB, running Windows XP SP3 32bit (haven’t upgraded my HOTAS yet to USB).
Update: clocking my PC back to the stock 2.83Ghz doesn’t resolve the problem.

the file you should delete is named dx9display.dsp
you can find it in the folder: C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\User\Config -

Yes I’ll start again and re-download the U3 file again. I think the U3 update must have been porked although it passes the actual validation setup during install?
-
Pls let me know the outcome, I’ve got exactly the same outcome as you Tazz. No time to do a reinstall yet.

I have done exactly that. Uninstall. New download of 4.33 U3. Reinstall 4.33U1 + U2 + U3… same result.

did you download from different source?
do you have antivirus disabled?
pluged your stereo speakers?
disable sound from hdmi?
disable intro movie?
bluetooth devices onboard or any adapter? -

I’m not sure how I would do that? I just put the torrent link into my bittorrent tool and it just downloads?
Sorry to sound stupid there but I never did much of anything with torrents.do you have antivirus disabled?
Yes, I disabled my antivirus before installing the U3 update and before trying to run it. Antivirus is ESET NOD32 v9.0.
pluged your stereo speakers?
Headphones. I tried them plugged and unplugged and it doesn’t seem matter?
disable sound from hdmi?
HMDI sound device on the GTX 760 is disabled.
disable intro movie?
I disabled the intro movie in the configuration but it didn’t help.
bluetooth devices onboard or any adapter?
No, no BT of any kind. Everything is wired.
Judging by the error dump, it really seems to be graphics related but my GTX 760 works fine? In fact, if I reinstall BMS again and only batch it up to 4.33U2, everything is just fine?

Try windowed mode.

I’ve tried adding the –window –nomovie parameters to the launcher, which correctly reflects them in the launcher window. The black/white splash screen now launches in window mode but then I still get the same error.
Also, when I start BMS 4.33U1 or 4.33U2, the game goes very quickly from splash screen into the actual UI / game menu. But BMS 4.33U3 shows the splash screen for much longer and there is a lot of hard disk activity, which I assume is the creation of the 120MB dump file?

If you have your display scaling set on your graphics card through it’s software driver… turn it off. that solved my issues.

Thanks for the tip! But I had a look in the Nvidia control panel for my GTX 760 but I cannot find any such option?
But looking at the crash logs, it really does seem to be a display related problem. But I’m not running any exotic video setup nor have I overclocked my videocard or anything else that could cause issues.
BMS 4.33u2 (which I am running right now) works perfectly fine. Very strange. -
Use the first driver version for your vga and not the last one.
If it works work your way up version bt version.sent from my mi5 using Tapatalk

I’ll download the oldest driver I can find on the Nvidia website and try again.
Interestingly, I also installed BMS 4.33 on my Windows 7 x64 Home Premium installation, which is my main OS. There BMS 4.33u3 works just fine - both in 32-bit and 64-bit. So it’s definitely a software issue of sorts.
-
OK… I removed the previously installed Nvidia 368.81 drivers, rebooted the PC and all that and installed the 353.62 drivers. These are the oldest drivers for the GTX 760 that I can download from the Nvidia website.
I made sure to ONLY install the display driver and not to install the HDMI Audio driver and PhysX driver.Still get the same result after applying the U3 update … I put my BMS 4.33 U2 game and setup directories back (I had made copies before) and U2 just fires up without a problem.

Why are you installing stuff one-by-one? I know you’ve done this before to test it, but have you tried installing DIRECTLY to U3? Something may be going wrong on your U2-to-U3 transition…

Yes, I’ve tried that as well - patching the U1 setup directory all the way to U3 and then install it. It has the exact same effect. In fact, that’s how I originally installed BMS 4.33 as I wanted to go straight to the latest version. That didn’t work.
It wasn’t until I started installing it one by one, I noticed that U1 and U2 ran fine but U3 didn’t. -
running Windows XP SP3 32bit
Winxp support was dropped in U3 due to various reasons but then even M$ don’t support XP anymore either it is advisable to update your O/sys anyway
-
System requirements page has been updated to reflect that XP support was dropped with U3. Yes you are looking for trouble if you don’t upgrade. Support ended 3 years ago and the last Service Pack was 9 years ago!
