Games crashing but not finding a crash log

[Jones]

I recently got a new to me PC that has some older hardware (2018-2019) but it seems to run great. I loaded Steam onto it yesterday and downloaded my games. I started to play My Garage and after about 1 minute of gameplay it crashes. I ran Whocrashed and it cannot find a crash log. I tried to play Gas Station Simulator and it to crashed. It seems that all my Steam games are going to do the same. Any idea why there would not be a crash log or could it be that Whocrashed is just missing them? Any help would be appreciated.

Crash logs are usually located inside Steam's "common" folder, i.e:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\[game-specific folder here]
Have you manually checked this directory for these logs and found nothing?

Alternatively, you could try running a game that you know will have a readily available crash report. (Considering the fact that every single game seems to crash on you here.)

I believe I did and found nothing but will check again when I get home

Just thinking… could a poor internet connection cause this issue?

No, it seems highly unlikely. These games do not really connect to the internet to work. I guess it'd be worth a shot to try them out in offline mode and see if they start at all.

Are you aware of windows own event viewer log.

google how to event viewer and why app crash, and i bet you know why i did not link it.

I checked it and it just states that it is an "unknown hang type."

I did go to the path you stated and no logs at all. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall and see if that helps.

Anybody see anything odd in this Windows Event Log? Very new to Windows so I'm an old guy trying to learn.

Assuming you've made sure Windows is fully updated, I think you should try updating the graphics drivers since the game seems to have a problem with the atidxx64.dll module. If you go here, you should be able to find the latest drivers for your hardware: http://www.amd.com/en/support.

From what I gathered, you could also have a problem with the .NET Framework. In case updating and/or reinstalling the graphics drivers does not solve your problems, you can try using the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool located here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135

above user alredy is on top of this, if you still have issue, dont forget AMD is the support there on ATI driver issue.

I did what you suggested and those issues went away but now I am getting a UnityPlayer.dll crash. From searching that seems like a common issue. Its funny though... I can play this same game at work on a junk computer and no issues at all other than 5FPS lol

I think you're going to need to provide more information here. Are the error reports telling you there's a general problem with UnityPlayer.dll, or is it just missing? Have you tried using "Verify integrity of game files..."? You do that by right-clicking on the game in the Steam Library, choosing "Properties...", then clicking on "Local Files" in the window that opens; finally, you click "Verify integrity of game files...".

This time I was able to play the game about 20 minutes and now I get this crash log. The crash before was saying that the Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\My Garage\UnityPlayer.dll

UnityPlayer.dll is there. On Monday I am going to see what the difference between these files are on my work computer and this one.

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

Just run the SFC Scan Tool and see if that fixes anything. Just remember to reboot the PC if it finds corruptions.

So, is it still having a problem with atidxx64.dll? I thought you said those issues were resolved. In any case, your best bet is probably to just run the System File Checker tool [support.microsoft.com] now. Comparing the same .dll files on two different computers and replacing one with the other will most likely not solve your problem because of different hardware configurations.
