Patch Hiccup - Bailed.. Now Repair Tool Won't Run
#1

Been having a weird couple of days.
Yesterday, I couldn't get MWO to launch for love nor money. Every time I ran it, I got an error message "MWOPatcher.exe cannot load - access denied". I gave up and shut down. This was BEFORE the patches were applied, so it wasn't the patch.
Today, with no explanation, it ran. I started the patch. First one goes by with no issues. The second one froze at 1.6 M. I gave it ten minutes. During this time, MWOMercs.com was also not responding - no pages, no forums, nothing.
I quit and accepted the "corrupted state" message, relaunched and started the patch, again. This time, it finished the second patch with no issue.
But the game crashes just before the action starts.
So I decide to run the MWO Repair Tool that's in the launcher. Every time, I get another error message:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application blah blah blah.
If I click Continue, the dialog goes away and nothing happens. If I click Quit, then the launcher disappears.
Details has a bunch of lines that begins with "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Access is denied."
WTF??
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Honestly, it sounds like you interrupted the patcher during a critical state, and now it has critical errors. Just a guess here.

I would imagine the older version of the repair tool would be out of date and probably would be invalid. However, I can not confirm this.

It a good backup if the patcher one does not work

Even as admin? Something is really screwed up, isn't it?

In the Control Panel, if I go to uninstall MWO, there is an MWO icon, but it's not the right icon and there is no other information.
If I try to use Revo Uninstaller, MWO doesn't even show.
Dammit.

I know that in the past when I did a reinstall I went to the MWO page and did an install and it said it found another version of the software and asked if I wanted to del it and I did then it reinstalled the game from that point again. (Just a thought). Well good luck with this I know these computers can be a pain. I used to mess with these for a living until I went nuts.

In 64-bit, the game will launch, but as soon as the action starts, the game crashes.
Suggestions?

PS.. I should mention that I installed the game as an admin, but I am playing as a standard user. Could that be it? There is no way I'm going to play the game as an admin.
Thank you.

And agree with what Amenophis said. the 64x version is recommended for Dx11, but I'm running mine on Dx9 and it's running fine for me. Dx11 didn't seem to agree with my system it seemed...
Could it be that you also don't have a 64x computer? Or that your computer doesn't have a system strong enough to take advantage of a 64x game program?
PS: Why won't you run the game as administrator, but you will install it as one? (I installed mine normally, but I can't recall if I run it as administrator or not. I think I run it as admin...)
This may be a support question...

I had heard that there were issues with DX11. I'll give that a shot, though, and report back. Thank you!

System is a custom-built 8-core i7 4.0GHz (turbo 4.8 on demand) with 32 Gigs of RAM running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
And I don't run anything under the admin account - that is strictly for making major changes. I run a standard account as a security precaution.

"The program can't start because D3DCompiler_42.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Downside is that the client quit on me, twice. Someone on TS suggested I reboot, and that (at least temporarily) got me through another drop. Apparently, the current patch isn't completely stable. Hopefully that will be fixed in the next release.
Looking forward to dropping with you all.
