[EL 2.0328] Evo Legacy SE Crashes on Exit *FIXED 2.0328b*

Post by rxnnxs »

I have the issue that, after exiting the game, the game is not exiting, it hangs and tells me:

I can send you an .nfo file as well as a minidump or fulldump with process explorer.
It happens every game. Demo or Steam Version.
My System is running every other game just fine.

P.S.: After starting the game in steam once, I can not even start it. After start it crashes!

My workaround!!:
I start the demo while steam is running.
The demo recognizes that steam is running and I can play the game recognizing that I am allowed to play that.
But now I can start it as an admin or as a normal user and on exit it hangs just as before.

That can sometimes indicate security software interference, blocking the game from being allowed to manage its own files on cleanup upon shut down. The NFO file would be sufficient.

What other software are you running in the background? I'd start there first, and follow the other steps outlined here: https://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewto ... =26&t=6595

Edit: With the help of 'rxnnxs', I was able to code a work-around for the problem which involved some conflicting behavior with certain system configurations and the game's control input system. For whatever reason(s), certain system configurations, their control devices, language settings, and/or drivers could bind up something and cause the game to freeze when it attempted to shut down. The new shut down sequence and manual releasing of all control devices upon exit appears to have resolved the issue entirely. This fix won't help for those encountering game freezes or crashes due to external interference from other software running in the background (ie security software), but for those encountering this system configuration related issue, the latest update should solve the issue entirely.
