Strange GMOD Error

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 19, 2008, 04:41 AM

Here it is:

GMOD crashes and give this error. Is there any way to fix it?

Solaris17 · Oct 19, 2008, 04:45 AM

try increasing your page file...or run a chkdsk on the drive.

ktr · Oct 19, 2008, 04:49 AM

Disable some background running processes.

Steevo · Oct 19, 2008, 05:12 AM

That error only relates to three issues.

1) A administrative right issue with read write registration, usually caused by a improperly registered file, and or during a network read or write (sometimes VIA .net) the network resource being unavailble within the specified timeout period.

2) Corruption of the PFN list.

3) A incompatable or corrupt file for the windows operating system, and or a faulty driver file.

So, is it running from a network drive, or a shared resource? If so try it locally.
Try to uninstall and reinstall and or check the installers MD5 to be sure it has not been corrupted.
Make sure you have the appropriate rights when installing it.
Lastly start a dump tool, try it again and see if the fault lies with a existing driver. If the area that the expected data was supposed to be at was not allowed to be read, it is possible a driver overwrote the area, ignoring the memory allocation it was given.

I have personally seen two of the instances above occur. One was a network timeout issue as it was a .net program being run on a busy network, and the other was with Zebara printer drivers that are not XP signed and cause this issue randomly with any machine they are instaled on.

K I ran chkdsk, wish me luck! If not, I think the problem could be with these new ATI drivers...

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 19, 2008, 05:44 PM

mmm... chkdsk did not resolve the problem... I'm gonna reinstall the ATI drivers.

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 19, 2008, 06:07 PM

Ok, I reinstalled GMOD, reinstalled the ATI drivers... nothing seems to help!

Solaris17 · Oct 19, 2008, 06:54 PM

try reinstalling Gmod

Ya, I'll try compatibility mode... We will see.

ktr · Oct 19, 2008, 07:56 PM

Have you disabled any background processes/apps? Perhaps antivirus or something that scans memory?

SimFreak47 · Oct 19, 2008, 07:59 PM

Heh. It's probably due to the ATi drivers. Go back to the old ones, and see if that works.

Meh, I might go back to 8.5... But I just installed 8.10! 8.10 in Crysis is AMAZING!

SimFreak47 · Oct 19, 2008, 08:20 PM

I'm still using the 8.2 drivers from 2006...

I just tried compatibility mode. Windows 95 / 98 failed hard. 2000 worked just as well as XP. No dice.

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 19, 2008, 10:39 PM

I'm gonna reinstall the 8.5 cats if no one has any ideas in the next few minutes.

Do other steam games work?

I would exit steam, delete clientregistry.blob and steam.dll (or copy them, make a backup), restart steam. It will update and you will need to log back on. See if it helps.

K ima try.

PVTCaboose1337 · Oct 19, 2008, 11:21 PM

The results looked good at first, but it still has the same problem. That did not work... The deleting the DLL and other file.

Pinchy · Oct 19, 2008, 11:32 PM

Hmmm.

At what point does the game actually crash? As its launching?

The game crashes after I play a little while. At maybe about 5 - 20 minutes of play, I get that error.

Dr Watson log please?
