General Protection Fault

[Disco Shrew]

Okay. So everytime I try and startup the game, I get a "General Protection Fault" History error, I've tried verifying the files, it says 2 are missing and will be redownloaded, they download I think, and I restart steam, same error as before. I have tried setting it in compatibility mode and running as an admin. I am currently reinstalling . ..

Couldn't really help sorry. This error looks like a segmentation fault (when a program is accessing a location in memory where nothing exists) and happens pretty randomly, whether it is at launch or in the middle of a game.

Did you try reinstalling the whole game or using a nocd executable?

[Disco Shrew]

I ended up using the nocd, it fixed it. Thank you

Haha nice :)

By the way, I'm using the nocd executable as well and I'm still getting the "General Protection Fault" error about once a month, I can live with it though since the game crashes randomly for other reasons several times a month.

I think crashes are less frequent with the nocd executable than with the original executable.

Disable autoupdate, it deletes the file once in awile

What No-CD thing are you talking about? I have the EXACT same problem as you and I don't know how to do what you did.

[Disco Shrew]

go to gamecopyworld or a similar site, and download the no CD crack for this version.

[Lennie Small]

When I try to run the patch is says it can't find the version number.

[Disco Shrew]

download the file "Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 v1.03 [MULTI5] No-DVD/Fixed EXE " from gamecopyworld, replace the original exe in the game directory with that file. I believe you have to unzip it when you download it.

When I try to start the game it says to insert the CD-ROM?

[Disco Shrew]

It sounds like you didn't apply the no-cd correctly.
