Title: Robot arena 2.exe stopped working
Post by: Doomaker101 on December 24, 2016, 01:25:18 PM
I'm running a downloaded version from this site, its perfectly fine. Until I add any version of DSL, and then I get this "Robot arena2.exe stopped working. I've looked around this site for different things that can help and they just didn't do it for me. I've tried new versions, I've moved those new versions, compatibility mode, run as admin. please help me figure this problem out.


I'm running windows 10
Tried every version of DSL and still same problem
I can build bots and stuff, but when I click tournament, and select bot it gives me the error message "Robot arena 2.exe stopped working

Hello and welcome! What most people do when downloading DSL is its a stand alone mod you don't add it to stock or any other you download it and then play. Hope this helps

no no wouldn't want that! What you need to do is download DSL then go into the program your using (e.g WinRAR) then find the DSL game folder then run the game that comes with it

Download a fresh copy of DSL2.2 from this link:
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=262

Extract the folder inside to your desktop, and run the .exe inside. Do not install anything else to this DSL folder, it is ready-to-go as it is. If it still crashes let us know.

if I had a dollar for every time I downloaded this mod for a fresh version I would be a rich man, even so this mod still doesn't work. And this is really for my dad, he loved this game and just wants more of the game.

Does it crash when you try to do an exhibition game? Is it only in certain events or all events? Only in DSL?

Go to the nearest computer shop and ask them to check the what the issue is

Stop listening to jamied, he hasn't got a clue what he's talking about

Can I ask why you have 16GB ram and an 8 your old CPU? It seems pretty weird. In any case, your CPU is SUPER weak, and I'm surprised windows 10 runs OK. Do you have access to a different computer or laptop?

Which compatibility mode are you running it in? Start with Windows XP Service Pack 3 and then gradually wind back.

It depends which dual core. Try running RA2 on your other PC, and see if you have the same issue

I don't have another pc, or any friends that have pcs
Title: Re: Robot arena 2.exe stopped working
Post by: Badger on December 24, 2016, 02:22:13 PM
What did you mean by having another CPU? You probably shouldn't be running windows 10 on a PC so old, but whatever.

Tell us in more detail about when is crashes. Exactly when does and doesn't it crash.

Post by: 09090901 on December 24, 2016, 02:22:30 PM
Off the top of my head, ra2 will load the other robots your fighting against when you select your bot before the bracket screen. DSL robots are much more complex than the original stock AI so it may be that your pc having trouble loading them.

Try fighting a LW 1v1 tournament and see if the tournament loads. There should be an option in the options menu to switch all tournaments to 1v1.

ok trying now
Title: Re: Robot arena 2.exe stopped working
Post by: Doomaker101 on December 24, 2016, 02:25:15 PM
LW worked perfectly, maybe its the Heavy bot I'm using. let me try something
Title: Re: Robot arena 2.exe stopped working
Post by: Doomaker101 on December 24, 2016, 02:28:24 PM
maybe it was the bot or the match? I was using biohazard on robo king with 4v4
Title: Re: Robot arena 2.exe stopped working
Post by: F1Krazy on December 24, 2016, 02:29:10 PM
Biohazard causes my game to crash as well, so I'm thinking it's just Biohazard.
Title: Re: Robot arena 2.exe stopped working
Post by: 09090901 on December 24, 2016, 02:30:42 PM
for everyone:

BioHazard
The new BioHazard uses the Trovaner chassis glitch, which means you need to do some Options trickery to get it to not crash.  The RA2.cfg file I included should be set up to work with BioHazard as long as you don't touch the Options menu.  If BioHazard starts crashing, though, do this:

1. Set the graphic quality to High.
2. Do a battle or go in the test garage.
3. Go back to the main menu.
4. Change the graphic quality to Low and then IMMEDIATELY quit RA2.
5. BioHazard should work now.  The graphic quality is actually High even though it will say Low in the Options menu.

Try this. Assuming other bots work, this should be the reason your game is crashing.
