PSOBB.exe has stopped working

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

I just started here and I can't even try out the game.
After clicking play, this happens.
Proof : http://imgur.com/0DQzmL6
OS: Windows 8
CPU : INTEL Core i7
GPU : Nvidia 750M
RAM: 8gb
MAX RESOLUTION : 1366x768

EDIT : I forgot to mention, I have 2 graphics cards/drivers.
Nvidia 750M and Intel HD Graphics

EDIT 2: I resolved the issue!

Did you add the game to your anti-virus exceptions?

 

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

I don't really have a anti-virus.

 

[Andy]

I don't really have a anti-virus.

I don't know than :s
I'd just be grasping at straws at this point.

 

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

Well, would it be something like directx or the operating system?
Is there any data I can collect by running a program or something?
Maybe that would help resolve the issue.

Anime:
could be something to do with login issues people are having right now, but if not try running as administrator, or changing the resolution in launcher/turn off "advanced effect"

Did the installation finish correctly?
If you have some missing/corrupted files it will crash like that.

For me advanced effect causes issues only in fullscreen and windows 10, specifically hanging at the ship selection.
The resolution would make the client disappear instantly instead of crashing like that.

 

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

My advanced effect is off... Nothing's changed.
And running as admin doesn't help.

If that happens clicking play on the launcher, you definitely have missing files (probably in the data.gsl). Try reinstalling.

 

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

Nope, that's been installed and found within the data folder, so re-installing wont help my situation.

 

[Soly]

As I said the files could be corrupted tho, it doesn't hurt to try and reinstall.

 

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

Yeah, I keep reinstalling, nothing's changing.

 

[Soly]

Hmm.. then might be good to grab the zip and do a manual install

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

Figures as much, trying it now, thanks for the link! I'll respond if it still fails..
Another thing, should I replace the files where i installed the game to?

 

[Soly]

I'd say delete the whole folder, to avoid any extra files (if there are)

 

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

Nope, manual install doesn't work either... I'm thinking it's not compatable with windows 8... And I don't want to install a new OS for a while.

 

[Soly]

It is compatible, I used it for a while in W8

 

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

Hmm... I'm thinking the 2 graphics drivers I have, it's a laptop, so I really can't take out the dedicated intel graphics. Besides the intel isn't working for some reason. When I checked the psobb error log folder, it said it used Intel Graphics or something.

 

[tofuman]

I have a few suggestions:

Try running install.reg. That will added the required registry keys. The game should run without them but the launcher can crash psobb.exe if its missing the registry keys.

Ensure you aren't unpacking the game into a windows protected folder such as "program files". Try unpacking to a folder on your desktop to see if it runs.

Try adding PSOBB.exe to the DEP exceptions.

 

[Cyanaki Blizkana]

Well, were getting closer... The issue is the graphics driver.
