MX Simulator

SO i switched pcs to a new Alienware m15x 64bit, now i got a new 1.4 installer from JLV and installed the game, when i click the desktop icon to launch it, a dialog appears "mx.exe has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem." and teh game closes, well it never even started, and im left with nothing, any help please?

Here's the last Alienware topic. In that case there was a driver called "G2 Desktop" that was causing the crash.

Thx but i donbtr seem to have such thing as g2 desktop

her is my lastlog file, any help would be appreciated thx.

Im no expert but i think it might be something to do with too many buttons?

The too many buttons thing is normal. Can you post the entire lastlog.txt file? Knowing the last thing that happens before the crash will help me guess what's happening.

Sure,

Try this:

http://mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mx-2011-02-19.exe

Save it to your install folder and run it.

If it still doesn't work, copy the following script to your install folder and run it.

http://mxsimulator.com/junk/nodinput.bat

Genious, thank you so much,
the exe did not work, but the bat did, how would i go about getting it to a exe so i can run it from my desktop?

Out of curiosity, what was the problem? if it isnt too complex

I have also noticed that my controller doesnt seem to work on it, and it used to work, does the bat you gave me exclude controlls or something?

That one skips the DirectInput device enumeration. You have a driver crashing when the game asks it how many buttons and axes it has.

I'll post another exe in a bit that will log more info and hopefully I'll be able to figure out which device it's crashing on and skip it.

Give this a shot. This will ignore all DirectInput devices that aren't joysticks.

Awesome, ur a legend, it works and my controller also works, but now what will happen when i download a future snapshot?
BTW, thank you so much.

These changes will be in future versions too.

Oh right sweet, thank you for everything.

jlv, i tried this but the only one that worked was the nodinput.bat but i couldn't use a controller with it.

Post the lastlog.txt file. Also, does it work if you unplug your controller?
