[RESOLVED] GameEx is crashing regularly with the latest version

[jedah]

Hi All,

I have updated to 14.32 on the GameEx website and I am getting random crashes when launching GameEx. I say random as it doesn't do it all of the time. Each crash leaves my desktop black and with no shortcuts visible.

I have launched it several times this evening and I would say that out of 8 times it has crashed 5 times. It seems to be just after the GameEx logo zooms in. I just get the windows error window informing me that the program has crashed and it gives me a debug or close option.

I have looked at the log and it doesn't seem to be reporting any issues. I am using Windows 7 and currentlynly using GameEx for MAME.

Thanks

Hi,

Hard errors. ie ones not reported in the logs are normally to do with Codecs.

That makes sense actually Tom. As I downloaded the Shark007 codec pack yesterday to enable playback of some steam videos that weren't playing. I will uninstall and see what happens.

Thanks for looking into this for me.

Could be. I think recent versions of Shark have issues. Try the one I put up at http://pinballx.net

This seems to have done the trick. Cheers Tom
