Battles-Win.exe Has Stopped Responding Upon Start.

[ShiftyCollie]

I have managed to play BTD Battles before on a few separate occasions, but when I decided to start playing it a day or two ago, I got the error message then the game crashed.

Ninja Kiwi seems to have removed the way they say to fix the problem, and I have over the minimum system requirements.

I am on Windows 10 - Public release now.

I also have the same problem on BTD 5: http://steamcommunity.com/app/306020/discussions/0/357284767251410795/

PS - Sorry for the spam of threads, Steam said many times that it had a error until the 3rd try - It was lying. They are now deleted.

EDIT: Problem still occurs after I've went back to a public release.

I dont know why that would be happening and i would suggest going to support.ninjakiwi.com.
Or maybe try some windows 10 guides to problems. I am sure there is plenty

Can you try installing the release build of WIn10 to see if that makes a difference, please?

[ShiftyCollie]

Unfortuetly..

I do hope it makes a difference, yet I am not looking forwared to be leaving the insider build just for this game.

[ShiftyCollie]

Ok, I will not opt out of the Insider builds as if I do I am stuck in the build I am currently in, resulting in many problems after a while, the only other option is to restart my PC completly, which I am again not willing to do..

[ShiftyCollie]

And it should have nothing to do with being a insider as I've played this game while being one.

myself as well, just updated last night now i can no longer play

[ShiftyCollie]

I have came out of the Insider Build - by resetting my PC pretty much completely - and then verifying cache, but still broken..

Worked for me

Just open it up, See if it's still happening, If it isn't click the Windows button on your keyboard. Then type "Remove" And click "Add or Remove Programs". it should have the icon of a Setting Symbal on it. Then click on "Search this list and type "Bloons TD Battles" and click on it. The click "Uninstall" then click "Uninstall" again. When done just go to steam and redownload it. After that click on it and it should work. If it doesn't then open up "Task Manager" by right clicking your taskbar. Then click Task manager and Right-click on the "Battles-Win.exe". Hover your mouse over "Set Priority" And when the little box pops up click "High". Then relaunch the game and it should work just fine.

Can confirm the renaming the XAUDIO file works, the downside is as you would guess, no music or sound fx ;( Hope a fix is on the way.

Edit - Did some searching and found that this problem exists for several games, and is older than just this recent update evidently. And months have gone by and MS has not found a fix.
