(PC) DefianceStartup.log errors

[a4nic8er]

I have just completed another clean install of defiance (that's 22GB of bandwidth on my bill so far this month). The game is still freezing on exit (see freeze on exiting game).

My reason for reinstalling was the errors I saw listed in the DefianceStartup.log
i.e.

These current errors are exactly the same as those in the DefianceStartup.log from the prevoius install.

I can confirm that, in both of the installs:

• The locals*.wad, and overlay*.wad files named in each error do not exist (there is no Defiance\live\wad_overlay\ folder).

• The Defiance\live\locale\resources_english*.wad files exist but are in the Defiance\live\wad folder (there is no Defiance\live\locale\ folder).

• The composites04,05,06,07.wad files do not exist.

• The resources04,05,06,07.wad files do not exist.

• The textures19.wad file does not exist.

• The sounds02,03.wad files do not exist.

Does something need to be done about those missing files plus the incorrect & non-existent folder paths?

*edit*
According to Patcher.log, the patcher is using one folder path that is different than the one the game looks for and does not check for or attempt to verify the other files listed as errors in DefianceStartup.log

Further more, since this fresh install and/or the recent patches that have been applied I am getting frequent crashes when my inventory window is open.

It often happens when I am comparing weapons and it always happens when I click on one particular mod to inspect it.

This means I have to switch to windowed mode every time I want to examine my inventory (see "freeze on exiting game" link in above post).

Every crash starts an iteration of CrashHandler.exe*32, using up 13,540K of memory. Number of iterations running = number of crashes since last Windows User Account relog (unless I just kill the CrashHandler.exe*32 processes in frustration) and they just sit there doing nothing.

Really, this game is at risk of becoming a turd!

Thanks for the response Sledgehammer, but...

• I am NOT getting Critical Errors when trying to launch Defiance. Defiance runs, but it goes to a "Not responding" state when I try to exit the game (always has - even in Beta) and now it crashes because my inventory contains a bugged 'Sledge Arm II' mod.

• I am running Windows XP Pro 64-bit, not Vista or Windows 7.

• My Temp and TMP path is %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp (and I see plenty of files in that folder - of which I asssume yours are the 5Kb ver5 to ver53 ones).

I am very reluctant to edit those variables. I don't particularly want to risk stuffing up several other programs when my issue applies only to Defiance and may be related to your software's apparent pathing errors and attempts to load non-existent files.

*edit*
To make it easier for you to see what I am referring to, I went back and bolded all the errors in the DefianceStartup.log codebox of first post that show non-existent files or incorrect folder paths for files that do exist. Also bolded in the Patcher.log codebox are the verified language files to show that the patcher is using a different file path for those than the DefianceStartup.log indicates is required.

Summary:
It appears to me that

• The patcher installs and verifies some files to different folder paths than the DefianceStartup.log indicates are required.

• The patcher doesn't install and/or verify all files that DefianceStartup.log indicates are required.

I myself have been quite frustrated .. I have tried multiple re-installs and continue to see the missing file messages in the Defiance Startup log as well as the blank screen with the "Defiance Client Build 450399" issue.
I paid $99 to play and would like a solid answer as to why the install appears to not include all the files as indicated in this forum as well as to why I am getting the "blank screen".
I am running W7 Pro, AMD 8-core CPU, 16GB RAM and have all the latest drivers installed.
Thanks much.

When I start the game through steam i get the same errors as original poster upon exit. But if i go to the defiance folder and run Patcher.exe in "Run as administrator mode" i dont get the errors when i quit the game. Hope that helps.

Nope. Same thing happens if I run the game from a Windows User Account with administrator privileges.

The patcher is also now creating windows error reports (crashing) when I exit it, even if I just open it then close it.

Also, I wish a GM/Support Staff Member would answer my support ticket and just delete the mod in my inventory that is crashing the game.

*update*
Just purchased another 'Synergy Mod Cache'. I now have 2 mods in my inventory that cause the game to hang/crash whenever I try to use them in any way (click on them, sell them, mod any weapon that takes them).

In-game Support Ticket updated, still waiting for the first response to it (and one here about the DefianceStartup.log/Patcher.log discrepancies raised in first post in this thread).

[a4nic8er]

Yay, my inventory is fixed and no longer crashes the game. Thanks for the intervention or the patch, whichever it was that fixed it.

Unfortunately the game still hangs on exit.

Today's DefianceStartup.log contains the same errors as reported in post #1 of this thread.
