Application Error
----------------------------
The application couldn't start correctly ( 0xc0000142 )

I don't know where that come from :/

 

If somebody knows the answer, I'd be grateful

What client are u using?

This error comes when the exe can load a dll.

Check the Event Viewer:

Start > Run, type in: eventvwr.msc and click Ok.

Expand the event viewer window.

Click once on either Applications or System in the Left pane.

Double click on an error listed in the Right pane to bring up a details window.

Click the link if present at the end of the description to a page with a "possible

solution".

i had a similar problem before, it just fails to launch. try out other launch exe's. for example if 2013 ragexe doesn't work, try 2014 or 2012's. my computer for example for some reason just doesn't run 2013 exe. weird. had to hex my own 2014 for it to work

Hi, I'm building a client for my server and have the same issue on windows 7.

Actually the client is working fine on my laptop, but on my desktop computer I get the same message as the OP

 

Here is a solution :

I tried to copy all the files one by one from a Gravity client and found that when HShield folder (with hshield files) is present in my client it works fine !

 

Now I'd like to know why ! o.O

Why can the client start without this folder on my laptop but not on my desktop ? I never had to have this folder in the client before to play RO.

I want to give a very clean client to my players and having to include the HShield folder doesn't please me.

 

@Netsu : you should give this topic a more explicit subject so it can get more views.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes hshield is disabled, I even tried to diff the client with several patchers, same result.

 

A difference in Windows I think is the best guess since one of my computers got a fresh Windows 7 installation recently. But both are up to date and have the same Visual C++ installed, also same directX version if that matters. I'll try to spot what else can be different.
