How to fix most crashes/errors

I hope this solves most of the crashes that the players are experimenting

Main

Hello

Many players are notifying crashes and other problems while ingame. I have searched info about many kind of problems and for some other problems I have found a fix for them. I put the name of some crashes and the solution. My steam is in spanish, but that doesnt matter, you´ll get the idea where are the buttons you have to press.

Failed to create D3D device

Method 1:

Go to steam library, right click on the game and then click Properties. In general tab click on Launch Options (you can see in the image), inside you´ll have to type this and then click OK:

-w RES1 -h RES2

Where RES1 and RES2 are your resolution parametres, you can check these in your desktop by clicking right button in your desktop and then Screen Resolution. You´ll see there for example 1240x1024 (RES1xRES2)

Method 2:

Type in game launch this instead: -dxlevel 90
If 90 doesnt work try: -dxlevel 81

CSceneFileCache: bad scene image file scenes/scenes.image

Go to your steam folder: Steam/steamapps/Dino D-Day/dinodday/ folder, you will see a folder in there called "scenes". Delete that folder.

"Connection problem. Auto-disconnect in 30s" in every server

Set server mods off in your game options.

Game runs well but I cant get good resolutions

Check your game settings in options menu and check that you are using the correct aspect ratio (4:3, 16:10...)

Visual 2005 Run Time Error - Visual C++ Run Time Error

Install Microsoft Visual Runtime Library to fix it:

x64: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632

Invalid steam key lenght

You get this error if you try to join a server which is not from your current build, the build can be selected on game properties. This means that if you have [publicbeta] selected in properties, you wont be able to play non public beta games.

Failed to load the Launcher DLL

Verify game cache. If it still doesnt work remove the bin folder which is located inside your games folder, then verify game cache.

To verify game cache you must go to local data tab in game properties

Missing file or texture

Verify game cache.

Could not Load Library Client

Check your antivirus and Firewall to see they arent blocking the game or steam. If its not that check this guide: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9626-UOAC-4950

Other crashes or freezings

I mention here some methods which have helped different people on internet for different problems.

Method 1 (for crashes on startup)

Run the game in windowed mode, you can do this by putting in Launch Options (properties) the following: -windowed

Method 2 (for crashes on startup)

Type in game launch this instead: -dxlevel 90
If 90 doesnt work try: -dxlevel 81

Method 3 (graphical issues and freezing)

Remove Vertical Sync / Vsync on graphic game options

Method 4 (game crashes when binding this key: §)

Edit config.cfg (Steam\SteamApps\common\dino d-day\dinodday\cfg), add something like this: bind "~" "toggleconsole"

Method 5 (for crashes on startup)

Type in game Launch Options (properties) this: -autoconfig

Method 6 (for crashes on startup)

Same as Method 1 from D3D error but adding another parameter: -w RES1 -h RES2 -refresh60

If none of the previous have worked

Other things you can try if all previous havent solved your problem:

- Go to your steam folder, by default it is installed to one of these locations:
32bit system -> C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\dino d-day
64bit system -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dino d-day
Open dinodday.exe as administrator.
- Check your Firewall or antivirus to see if its blocking the game or steam.
- Update graphic card drivers or directx
- Check if the issue is here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_cat.php?id=65


I hope this has helped to solve problems.
