jonathancarty Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 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 gameex.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hi Jonathan, Would you please post your gameex.ini file as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathancarty Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Ooops, sorry here it is GameEx.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 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. GameEx.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 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.

RedDog Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 That GameEx.ini came through ok. Checking it out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 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?

jonathancarty Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 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 GameEx.ini log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 can you do an offline install over the top of your current one? Also try changing your theme to the default one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathancarty Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Went for a clean install in the end which seems to be working so far. Just updating MAME list....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
