Hi Pip, problem is solved now.

I installed Visual C++, Direct X and .Net framework time ago. All seemed ok, but...

Today I have installled a tool to check dependencies of DLLs:
https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases
After executing the tool and open the program, following dll showed an ...

Hi Steve, no, same error with administrator rights.
Thanks

Hi,
Last week I had to install Windows 11 from scratch and after installing this game the same problem occurred again.
This time, I have made tests with procmon, procexp and windbg (sysinternals windows applications). Latest version crashes just leaving alone in folder only CC_TBF.exe and Mss32.dll ...

Yes, that is. I did not make any additional changes or tests to the to the game since last tests just before holidays.
Then I executed non Steam version CC_TBF.EXE with as administrator and several messages stating 'App Entry Point.' or something like that and several 'Init 1', 'Init 2'... or the ...

Now it seems it is working.
I executed Matrix version as I had after tests as administrator and several messages appeared.Some error in the end until a message told it would send a report. And then I tried to execute again the game and it worked without running as administrator. Steam version also ...

I understand. It is holiday season. I replaced the dll files and same error, no change so far. Have nice holidays.

Program is the test one as it has a different size and was modified yesterday.
No other window or message appeared but the previous one:
0xc000007b

Hi Steve, I just installed the files but no log file was created nor generated. I tried deleting and also keeping My games folder but same error as before.
I guess it has nothing to do, but a non critical error message appeared when installing 1.01.11 patch:
Error: The specified file: 'G ...

Hi Steve, I used the new file, but same problem occurred.
Glad to keep trying to solve the issue. I can make further tests.
Thanks for the continuing support.

Following the idea of removing files to check what happens I managed to delete all files but mss32.dll (and exewcutable CC_TBF_STEAM.exe) and same error as before. Only when I delete mss32.dll a different message appears stating code execution cannot continue because mss32.dll was not found and ...

File is there although dates do not match. All dates show 8/12/2024, until I changed it today. No message regarding critical files missing. Same error as before.
I started in safe mode and same error again.
I stopped NVIDIA, Realtek and audio services. No sound in fact, but same error.

Hi Steve, that error.log could be the one form the previous patched version or the one referring to CC_TBF_Editor.exe. Launching editor it is the only way to create error.log with latest version with newest patch.
I just removed installations and save games folder, reinstalled and same problem as ...

Hi Pip,

It could be an audio issue, perhaps. When I remove all DLLs in main directory, program complains about missing mss32.dll (Miles Sound System). With the previous patch release, the second dll used is dbghelp.dll (Windows Image Helper). I know because because with previous having only mss32 ...

Hi Steve,
With Steam version , it did not recreate the folder, but with the Matrix/Slitherine installation patched with latest 1.01.11 save games directory has been recreated. Now I can see the error.log, although game did not launch.
I have attached error.log and error_trace, but I do not see ...

I upgraded to windows 11 but problem was not solved.
Further actions have not solved the problem:
Deleting error.lod did not cause to recreate it again.
Renaming folder in save games did not force to recreate the folder.

Thanks

Santi

Hi,
The same problem occurs to me. I have windows 10 22H2, reinstalled several times to no effect. Initially I tried with Steam, but as it did not work I installed from the matrix/Slitherine files.
Just by chance, I had older comprehensive patch v1.01.10.00 and that worked for me. It is just the ...

Just in case, be sure to install ".NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.8", as first I installed ".NET Runtime 6.0.8" but it was not enough. Perhaps that could be your problem.

Many thanks Voltreffer, it is another interesting tool and indeed it would cover my question.

Thanks for this, nice tool.
Would it be possible to assemble together all combat reports for air attacks against same hex? If such repetitions could be just reordered, it would be enough.

Hope this helps:
This is because it is a forced disbandment. From the manual (page 169):

The assets of units subject to forced withdrawal are returned to the pilot and aircraft pools.
