stigzler Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Your last log is a bit mysterious, as the is no error at the end of it - did you Cntrl, Alt Del by any chance. In your post above that, this may look like the culprit: 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: 21 Consecutive Exceptions Occured 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: Error en la aplicación. 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: en Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Sprite.Begin(SpriteFlags flags) 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: en Direct2D.Direct2d.Surface.Draw(RectangleF DesRect, Rectangle SrcRect, Byte Alpha, Byte Red, Byte Green, Byte Blue, Double Rotation, Boolean rotate) 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: en Direct2D.Direct2d.Surface.Draw(RectangleF DesRect, Rectangle SrcRect, Byte Alpha) 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: en Direct2D.Direct2d.Surface.Draw(RectangleF DesRect, RectangleF SrcRect, Byte Alpha) 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: en GameEx.GameEx.MainForm.h(Boolean A_0, Boolean A_1) 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: en GameEx.GameEx.MainForm.d1() 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: Trying reinitialising the display after sleeping for 4 seconds 15:51:46.3 31/10/2016: Exception count will be dropped to 15 15:52:14.3 31/10/2016: Exiting GameEx! However, can't see any obvious cause. You had any hardware changes to your graphics cards etc recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilforces Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi Stigzler!! The last log has not any error because GameEx closes with tipycal message of Windows "this program closed ...." That's the reason for not complete log of GameEx, because closed anormaly. My pc drivers are all up to date, and this machine is only to run GameEx and emulators, I haven't any other program installed on it... It seems some times GameEx crash for a video problem, other times retrieving information from cache files or databases... I don't know what to try to solve the problem. The first log problem seems to be solved deleting the rss feed from my theme. I thought this was the cause of the crashes, but I see is not solved... Now I need to know what is causing the problem to try solve it. Thanks another time for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adultery Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Do you use a startup video? Did you try a different theme? Are you positive your LAV codes are installed properly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilforces Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi Adultery!!! I don¡t use startup video, but I use custom startup music/sound. I did't try different theme, but I can do that with default theme If this could be the solution. I love my actual theme, but if this is the cause of the problem.... I think I have the LAV codecs installed, but only to make sure, what are the latest or recommended version I have to install? Where can I download it? Thanks in advance for your kindly help trying resolve my problem..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 You may want to try reinstalling GameEx over your existing install. You normally don't need to back up any files, but until you know why it is happening I would play it safe and back up your GameEx.ini, CustomInput.ini, CustomMenu.ini, and your theme (if you made your own, which if I recall, you may have). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilforces Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Ok, saved the files and the Blue Neon LCD theme on a folder. Installed latest LAV codecs from here https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases Try reinstalling GameEx and see what happens.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilforces Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Ok, after trying for about an hour GameEx apparently the crashes are gone. I can not say that the problem is solved, because the crashes was random, but I think I'm on the right way. I am very proud to belong to this great community that is GameEx. The best of this frontend is people that help in forums and this is wonderful. Thank all of you very much to all your support and help in my problem. I am deeply grateful, as always. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Glad to hear you got things back up and running. FYI, Tom has a link on the PBX site for the LAV's he recommends. <edit> since you're up and running I wouldn't bother with it now, but just for future reference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
