Phoenix VR Viewer has stopped working

[Stardog765]

Game wont start for me.

Any ideas?

Are there no devs around here monitoring things after their release? I know its only a $3 game but.

Same problem here..

Find VR.exe and add it to the list of programs exempt from D.E.P., or just change your DEP policy to "Windows programs and services only". It's an old problem and simply googling "Phoenix VR stops working" would have given you the fix.

Edit - The game .exe as well.

Sorry I did google it before I posted here and looked through many threads. So no its not that simple.
And if this is an old problem why would not the devs of this updated version of the game address it? Or at least make a post here concerning it?

Again its a cheap game no doubt but support is support and it reflects on your company going forward.

Though I do appreciate your information.

I added the game exe to my exception list and it works now but I have no VR.exe anywhere. The game runs now. Thank you

My DEP policy is already set to "Windows programs and services only". And yet Phoenix VR will not run. Was so looking forward to checking out this game, can someone help me please?

Funny, this game was made for PCs and has this bugs but the PSX version works just fine.
To me, I have the GOG version and this error appears at the begining when I open the exit door and the first cutscene starts. I did the DEP policy All On, All Off, with and without exception of the game .exe file, in compatibility mode and without, and the same Phoenix VR error appears in the same place. I know there is a 2001 error fix for the Steam version, but as far as I know it fixes a grey suitcase access error (whatever that is) and cutscene errors. You can try it by copying the exe file to the game dir, don't forget to make a backup the of the original exe file first. The fix is here:
