Trying to start the game...HELP
 

Greeting all.

I just purchased T vs. T (boxed game) and it seems to have installed correctly.
Everything goes smooth till I get to the point that the game should start(after the little tank tread finishes).
Then a little box pops up saying "TvT.exe has stopped working" and thats as far as it goes.
I've tried uninstall and reinstall a few times but it always ends the same.
I've searched this forum for a few days before I asked but most posts are about BSOD or in game crashes.

The factory game disc looked kind of water discolored(for lack of a better description) out of the sealed box.

That kinda worries me now that I find that the company is defunct.

Do you guys have any words of wisdom on my situation?

I'm running a genuine windows 7 64 bit OS
intel core 2 duo E6550 @2.33GHz.
2GB ram G-skill
nvidia 260 GT

questions
 

Dreadnot do you have these files in your game folder :

msvci70.dll
msvcp71.dll
msvcr70.dll
msvcr71.dll

Because without them the game won´t start.

Did you buy the game new or second hand?

Game Crashing
 

Other possibilities, do you have DirectX9c installed?

Some people have reported that their sound card caused crashes.

What system do you have(specs)?

Finally have you tried re-installing the game in case your install was corrupted?

Missing dll files
 

Dreadnot I checked other posts about your problem and I found one which dealt with your sepcific problem.As I thought it's got to do with a missiong dll file.

You are missing the MSVCP71.dll which you can download from that link below.But check my first answer to you to see if3 you have the other 3 dll files2 the 2 70 and another 71.

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... ml?msvcr71

Once you have it put it into your C:/Windows > System not the the System 32

Then the game should start normaqlly.My own install of the game already has those files incorportated but some older versions did not have it and that's why they have to be inserted manually.

TRry and let ne know.

Cheers

Alright...

I bought the game new in the sealed package.
During the install the game also installs directX9c
I dont have a separate sound card
About all I know about the specs I posted in the first post.
The motherboard is MSI
I will try to download the dll files you mention but I have never tried and don't know exactly how to go about installing said files.
Thanks for the help!

I was able to download the linked file and unzipped it to the windows system file.

Where do I look for the other 4 dll files to see if I have them?
I did not see them in the windows sytem 32 folder where there are tons of other dll files.

I found the TvT game folder and there are other folders in there. Which one of those should they be in?

Drednot , they should all be in your game folder the main one not in any sub folder.That´s where mine are.
Did you try starting the game after installing the one you downloaded?

I got mine form the defunct panzersim.com website 2 years ago.Have you tried googling them to see where they are available?I think on files4share or filefront or websites like that should be able to find them.Read the old pòsts on TvsT in the subsim forum you may find the info you need.That´s how I found that thing about the missing dll file.

Good luck!

Don´t look in C: windows system 32 it´s c: windows system only.

OK
I have the msvci70.dll and msvcr70.dll in the game folder but none of the 71 .dlls
the one i downloaded I put in the windows system folder which was empty at the time.
the system 32 folder was full of stuff
I did try to restart twice after putting the download in the system folder but same "tvt.exe stopped working"

I will look around for the 71.dll files

Ok I just found the msvcp71.dll
Does that need to go into the game folder?

And does the msvcr71.dll that you linked to need to go in the game folder,too, or just in the system folder?

Again, Many Thanks!

missing dll
 

I have asked another colleague on a different post if he knows where to get those files.Hopefully he´ll give me an answer.

Hang on!

Ok Dred I checked my own game folder and windows here´s what I have:


1)in windows systems goes the file you downloaded .

2) in Windows 32 that´s where the other 3 go: msvcp 70, msvcr 70 and 71.

Once you ha:DLve them that should do the trick

So I should move the two 70.dlls from the game folder and along with the mscvp71.dll that I found to the windows system 32 folder and leave the msvcr71.dll in the plain windows system folder.

is this correct?

Ok

I have
msvcp70
msvcr70
msvcr71
all in sys32

I have
msvci70
all by itself in sys

still got "TvsT.exe stopped working"

do copies of any of these need to be in the game folder,too?

is this after you start a mission so try out to start the game in windowed mode - maybe this helps, until a final solution is found

and ...

i found this in another thread:

quote [Application has failed to start because d3dx9_30.dll was not found

That error is caused by MicroSoft and there DirectX development ideals of DirectX9. Reinstall DirectX from MicroSoft's website or find the individual file on their download site.]

Well, after swapping dll files around, I finally got it to start a mission.

:woot::woot::woot:

Actually figured out how to start engine,then rev,then release brake,then shift into first,second,third,etc.

Actually knocked out some AT guns and T34s:yeah:

Got killed a few times and then when restarting a mission, got the veiws started jumping and eventually crashed to the desktop.

At least I'm getting somewhere.

The action is kickass when its working

Thanks for the help so far Frinik

That is great news DREDnot, these t vs t guys are awesome. I wanted to
welcome you aboard too mate. Stick around there is great things ahead for
T34 vs Tiger.

Best Regards :salute:

ZeeWolf

Thanks ZW

I already made it past the first mission and almost made it through the second mission.

I'm gonna take a breather as I think I'm getting "Slug-Nutty":88)

Tvst
 

Hi Drednot, Happy that you were able to start the game sorry I could not follow up on your progress I had to go to bed!

What files did you swap exactly?

Still, WELCOME TO THE GAME!

I ended up with

msvcp71.dll all alone in the windows system folder

msvci70.dll
msvcp70.dll
msvcr70.dll
msvcr71.dll all in the windows system32 folder and a copy in the TvsT folder(just in case)

So far its working like this and I just cranked up all the visual options to max and the 1680x1050 resolution to match my monitor.
so far so good.

Thanks!!!:salute:

TvsT working.
 

Hi Dred!

Happy that you got it working finally and shot a few T34s!

Re the mscvi70 it does not appear in my main game folder unlike the other 4 which is why I did not mention it and did not think it was important. My own install of the game always includes these 4 files becasue I asked my wife to make a copy of the installation cd that I bought( just for a back up in case the original gets scratched or corrupted) and she included all missing dll files in the copy which means I don't have to re-install manually them ever time.

I hiope you will cpoy ZeeWolf's Xmas release the TIgers Shake Kurtenki.Not only is that ZW -made mission a considerable improvement over the existing 1st one but it brings improvement by ricochet I guess to the other existing missions. The AI becomes livelier and the specs of the TIger and T34 are accurate. The original TvsT was tweaked by the creators ot make the T34 more solid and the Tiger weaker than they actually were.They wanted to focus on Mulit Player an dfigured that nobody would want to play the T34 if it weren't more robust and on equal terms with the Tiger.The result was of course an artificial equilibrium. Now it's over and the Soviet missions have become tough for the Sov tanks.

Cheers
