Trying to start the game...HELP

DREDnot · 02-13-10, 10:30 PM

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

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?

frinik · 02-13-10, 11:10 PM

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?

frinik · 02-14-10, 03:24 AM

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!

DREDnot · 02-14-10, 10:48 AM

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?

hodi · 02-14-10, 02:43 PM

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.]

DREDnot · 02-14-10, 03:34 PM

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

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

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

DREDnot · 02-14-10, 04:38 PM

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"

frinik · 02-14-10, 10:31 PM

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!
