GameEx Not Launching

[jonathancarty]

Hi,

We've been away for a week and on returning GameEx won't launch and I've no idea why.

Log file attached, all help very gratefully received.

Thanks

Hi Jonathan,

Would you please post your gameex.ini file as well?

 

[jonathancarty]

Ooops,

sorry here it is

GameEx.ini

[RedDog]

Would you please check the GameEx.ini file and upload it again file? When I open your link, all it has is a bunch of empty or null values.

Attaching my GameEx.ini as a test and as an example of what it should look like.

EDIT: Confirmed that my attached file opened fine.

Also, you may want to download the latest version of GameEx (you are running 14.42 and we are now up to 14.43). After doing so, please report back if you are still having the same issue. If so, submit updated copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files. Thanks.

That GameEx.ini came through ok. Checking it out now.

Jonathan,
Your gameex.ini loaded for me when I ran GameEx. The log indicates that the crash occurs just after the emulators are loaded or as Steam is being validated. The error is "Error: Illegal characters in path". Your config shows that you have no emulators, so I would assume it is Steam.

Try disabling Steam in GameEx and see if GameEx loads. If it does, you might try cleaning the Steam config files and let them reload:

...GameEx\DATA\EMU_1002.dbcache.ini

...GameEx\DATA\steamdata.ini

If that STILL doesn't work, do you happen to have a Steam Game with any non-alphanumeric characters?

Hi,

Still struggling I'm afraid.

I don't use Steam and have now setup my emulators including MAME but still no luck.

New log and gameex.ini attached

What's confusing me is that everything was working perfectly, we went away on holiday and came back to this. Something happened, perhaps an update, which has caused this problem

Cheers

Jon

can you do an offline install over the top of your current one? Also try changing your theme to the default one.

Went for a clean install in the end which seems to be working so far. Just updating MAME list.......
