Hello,
Here is something you can do:

- download ProcDump
- copy ProcDump.exe into your xwa directory
- open a command prompt and run this command:

Code: Select all

procdump -e -ma -w xwingalliance.exe

- launch the game

When the game wil crash, a crash dump file will be created: the filename starts with "XWINGALLIANCE.EXE_" and the extension is ".dmp"
- zip the .dmp file
- attach the zip to your next post

Forgive my ignorance, but when I try to run the command from command prompt, I get the following error: "procdump is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, but not sure how to fix it.

[JeremyaFr]

You can try with

Code: Select all

.\procdump -e -ma -w xwingalliance.exe

or

Code: Select all

.\procdump.exe -e -ma -w xwingalliance.exe

[Porkins_BB]

Still no luck with either of those commands.

Just to be sure, did you change into the XWA directory before you run the command? so e.g.

Code: Select all

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars X-Wing Alliance\"
.\procdump -e -ma -w xwingalliance.exe

[craigdwpa]

so still no fix ?

[Porkins_BB]

I got Procdump to work, but the dump file is too large to post on the boards. I was able to compress it down to 217MB, but even that is still too large.

[Forceflow]

Maybe try dropbox? That should let you put it up for download.

Hey, I have been having a problem much like this after reinstalling XWAUpgrade since I wanted to try your Mega version. I have used this upgrade in the past circa 2017 with no issues, but a lot has changed in the last few years with regards to the scope of this project. So, after reading some posts, I have attached my zipper .exe file. Here are some things I have tried these past couple days:

1. Sucessfully ran the game with no mods. Vanilla X-Wing Aliiance works perfectly. I am using GOG version on Windows 10. I have a GeForce RTX 2060.
2. Unistalled and reinstalled XWA, with mods. Crash after engaging hyperspace to the convoy operation area in Battle 1: Mission 1. Launch, hangar, flight controls, everything works in the initial area with the rebel fleet.
3. Once more attempt on Battle 1: Mission 3 (I think?), the A-Wing recon mission. Same result as 2 only this time the crash occurs shortly after lauching from the Calamari crusier.

Let me know what I can do to help, because I really appreciate this upgrade and what you've accomplished for the past 20 year is simply amazing, and I want to help those who might have a similar issue. I'm semi savvy with a computer but not a coder. Expect mistakes and questions. I do work full-time, and around this time is when I'll be able to respond. It's currently 4:00 PM on Tuesday afternoon where I am located. Thanks for your hard work.

Let me know what I can do to help,

Hello,
You can post a crash report from the Event Viewer and upload a crash dump (with ProcDump as indicated above).
This will help us.

[JarsusCrust]

Okay, this is what I received. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bs04mcy07nlj5 ... p.zip?dl=0

[JeremyaFr]

Thank you for the crash dump.
It is under investigation.

[JarsusCrust]

Awesome, let me know if you need anything else.

Hello,
The crash is caused by Hook_TargetboxToggle.dll.

Here is a fix.
Just extract the content of the zip (it contains hook_targetboxtoggle.dll) into your xwa directory.

hook_targetboxtoggle_WIP_2104141552.zip

[JarsusCrust]

Excellent! It's works great. Thank you. Hopefully this helps future development.

[craigdwpa]
