Visual C++ crashed

[bulugninu]

Hi,
 
I've some problems with Simdash 1.3.4 and 1.3.5

My configuration is (Windows7):

GI Max
Shift Pro
SimScreen

I usually drive with rFactor and during the game the system crashes.

The system shows a window allert that describes that the problem should be with Visual C++, but I don't understand because it is installated.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Can you do some tests and tell me if the crash happens when you play rFactor without SImDash, or when you play another game with SImDash (you can download the Life for speed demo for example...)

A screen shot of the error window could be useful too.

Thank you

I had some window pop up a while ago (after 1.3.5) telling me to send a log. Ofcourse I didn`t cause I am a lazy bastard
It was probably because of a misconfigured symscreen - my fault - so do you get the same problem if you disconnect the screen? If not, check the screen configs.

And do you remember how you configured the SimScreen to make it crash. it is not suppose to happens.

Hello.
Thank you for sending the picture of the error message.
It looks like it is rFactor that crashes, not SimDash. But I have no idea why that is happening. It doesn't seem to be related to SimDash.

The SimScreen, GI Max and Pro Shift already have the latest firmware. If they hadn't, SimDash would display orange light instead of green.

This may not help but........if your Win7 is 64bit....

I found a patch (4gb_patch.exe) in the misc files folder of the new Historix mod (V1.9) and a text file which reads.....

        "32 bit programs can't be loaded to the highest section of the RAM on Windows 7 x64 systems. They are kept below the 3.5GB RAM limit that 32bit OS have, even if Windows 7 x64 can use more memory.
This program will allow you to patch rFactor (or any other .exe file) so Windows 7 x64 systems can load it over that 3.5GB RAM limit. Otherwise if you load too many cars the game may crash to desktop with a C++ runtime error.
If you're not using Windows 7 x64 there's no need to use this patch.
Please note this patch will not produce mismatches on online sessions. We've been using it during internal testing without problems on that matter.
Just in the case you think it's: no, it'll not crack rFactor
Note: Any problems or issues derived from its use is responsibility solely of the user."

Not sure where else the patch is available, but I can email it if you wan't, it's only 44k

Cheers....

(Edit)  P.S. I should mention that my rFactor wasn't crashing before I aplied the patch to it's .exe but there arn't any side effects either
and it seems to be loading faster too (game & tracks)
