Some serious VTank installation help needed...

[Dpartd]

I have been experiencing tons of crashing in AC, mainly while portalling, lately and decided I'd journey down a complete and utter re-install.

I re-installed AC
I downloaded updated acclient.exe, portal, and client files and installed them.
I installed ThwargLauncher
I installed Decal

All works flawless right now and my install directories are:

C:\Games\AC
C:\Games\Decal
C:\Games\DecalPlugins
C:\Games\ThwargLauncher

I can log in, portal around, smooth as butter over and over again. Everything is working.

The final step I take is to install Virindi Tank bundle direct from the Vtank website. I extract the file, I run as administrator, and I install the entire bundle. I then open Decal and "update" all files. I get check boxes next to every relevant plugin.

Finally, I launch Thwarg with Decal injected, and I get this error message:

Windows closes down the file and now the Vtank bundle is ruined. Even after re-installation, nothing works. AC refuses to launch. Here's my decal data dump:

Please help?

I should have mentioned also that I'm running Windows 10 64-bit and everything was installed by running as admin, and windows firewall/anti-virus were disabled.

[Immortalbob]

i'm gonna defer to [mention]HellsWrath[/mention]

http://www.virindi.net/junk/VVS_Clean.zip
www.silostoybox.com/resources/CleanDecalReg.zip

Run both as normal and as admin. Uninstall decal/delete Vbundle and run both cleaners again.

Reinstall.



Is this an MSI or Alienware laptop? Does it have a bunch of fancy bloatware running in the system tray for audio and such.

[Dpartd]

Done and done. In fact, I’ve tried multiple times to completely uninstall, use then those exact reg cleaners, then re-install Decal/Virindi bundle. AC crashes every time at the point in which Virindi bundle is installed. Even check the required libraries before installing the bundle and I get the confirmed/ok message.

I think it might have to do with the installer “.net” interface? I am currently using the Creators Update in Windows 10.

Lastly, no I have a beast of a machine that has a bloat-free Clean-fresh install of Windows 10. Running an i7 5820K CPU and a GTX 1080 ti. My C:\ drive is on an SSD if that matters...

Thanks so far Hells...any other suggestions?

[Dpartd]

To close this out, I now have everything running butter smooth. And if others come across similar issues installing AC, Decal, ThwargLauncher, and the Virindi Bundle on Windows 10 64-bit, here is the process I used to get everything up and running.

-First, I completely uninstalled ThwargLauncher, Decal, Virindi Bundle, and Asheron's Call.
-Then, I used the Decal and Virindi Bundle registry cleaners (see links in thread above).
-Then, I followed these Windows 7 installation tips to a "T": http://acpedia.org/wiki/Installing_Decal_on_Windows_7
-Every one of the prerequisite files needs to be installed. Wait to install the DirectX 9.0c files until just before you install Decal.

-Create directory folders, exactly as follows (AC tends to dislike spaces or other characters in folder names):

C:\Games\AC
C:\Games\Decal
C:\Games\DecalPlugins
C:\Games\ThwargLauncher
C:\Games\VirindiPlugins

-Install Asheron's Call.
-Install ThwargLauncher.
-I then copy/replaced the complete cell/portal.dat files and PhatAC acclient.exe into my AC installation directory.
-I set the acclient.exe file to "run as admin" and I also set the compatibility mode to Windows 7. I also made sure that ThwargLauncher was running as admin. Then, I logged into the game to ensure the game was working as intended (before Decal and the Virindi Bundle is installed).

-Then, I installed the DirectX 9.0c files.
-Then, I installed Decal.
-Then, I installed the Virindi Bundle.

This, and only this, is the way that I was able to get everything installed and running smoothly. Thanks for the help Hells and IB.
