Winapi failure #2 and an access violation "d3d8.dll" [SOLVED]
« on: April 25, 2009, 02:31:50 pm »
I'm getting kicked off servers for winapi failure #2... Get kicked by battle eye then get that access violation. When it started happening i tried to open soldat it said something about directx 8.1 and to try compatability mode which i did but got the same message. I then reinstalled directx 10 i no longer get this message on restarting soldat but i do still get the winapi failure #2 and the access violation. I also reinstall soldat twice and deleted all system files and reinstalled my graphics card driver and deleted soldat registry entires. This issue started a few days ago after a week of playing normally with no errors. Also if i get this error on a gather sever it sometimes kicks all player from the server...

Would really appreciate any help with this.  :)

What is the exact access violation? And when do you get the access violation? Immediately when seeing the yellow kick message, or after a while when returning to the server browser?

Also, what do you mean with "it kicks all players"? What are they kicked for?

I'm experiencing similar problems since the latest BE update.
I have deleted and reinstalled Soldat. I've also killed all user processes to provide a 'clean' environment.
Nonetheless BE-'protected' servers kick me after a few seconds with a "BE - WinAPI Hook #0" message.
I have not changed any system settings or installed anything except for a GfWL update over the last few days. (And I'm not cheating ;))
Maybe sth. has been messed up to cause BE to detect Windows 7 as an API hook?

Right after the yellow message saying CHAZZER has been kicked for a Battle Eye Violation.
It kicks me straight onto my desktop with soldat minimised and the access violation showing.
When i go back onto the server about %50 of the time everyone has left/been kicked from the server. (Unlikely that 5 people decide to leave the server at the same time).

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit but this should'nt matter as i have run soldat on here before.

I usually get kicked after playing for about 5 mins.

Ah yea and the other thing is my wallpaper is removed after the error as shown, reappears on restart.

Hm, there is something seriously wrong on your system if even your wallpaper disappears. I suppose you have to restart your system then (not only Soldat)?

If you think that people are kicked, please provide proof and the kick reason if possible.

Do you run any security software and did you scan your system for malware?

Was on a gather and another player got kicked twice when i got the error he said everyone got kicked and blamed me :P so im about 90% sure.

I might just try a complete reinstall of windows.

Oh Comodo... it seems quite some people have problems with it for a while now.

Never turn off security software by preventing them to run. Most of them are never really disabled then.

Either uninstall them completely or use their interface to adjust settings and/or disable particular components.
