Crash on any gamemode

[animatordc]

So, simplest way to describe my issue is this. I have played the game before, loved it, had little issue with Steam.

After a long absence I reinstalled the game, loaded fine, but when I click on ANY mode (new game, rolling demo, tutorial, etc.) the game crashes instantly.

Here is the actual error I get.


here is the debug file, no blackbox could be found. All drivers are up to date.

Strange, logs looks fine.

When trying to join a multiplayer game do you see the available servers?

Have you check that your Firewall/Anti-Virus allow Defcon to open _server_ ports?

[animatordc]

I don't use a firewall, ports are forwarded on my router. I use AVG 8.0 for antivirus and have active file scanning turned off.

The available servers window pops up but before a single one can be displayed I get the same crash.

This is about the 4th or 5th thread on the same issue. I suffer from it myself. Nobody has been able to come up with a solution.

Edit: I guess I should say it's a similar issue. I don't get an error message like that.

Does it also crash in bfllr.dll? If so, update network card driver?

[animatordc]

The network card driver is up to date.

Though it may be an issue that I am using a Killer NIC
