Crash on start: iBomber Defense Pacific

[2par]

I just got iBomber Defense Pacific after playing the iBomber Defense demo, but the game just crashes. I am able to start and click around in the menus, I select "campaign" it loads a map of the pacific, and click to start the first mission, it loads a bit then I get an errors message and the game quits, asking me to submit a report to microsoft:

Description:
Faulting application ibomberdefensepacific.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module ibomberdefensepacific.exe, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x000b91c0.

When I do a "verify integrity of game cache" it always fails, and re-downloads a file, but still it crashes.

I tried to delete local game files and re-download the whole thing, but still nothing.

Im running on WinXP.

Any ideas besides reformating my machine and/or standing on one leg?

I have a similar problem: the game launches, I choose to play Campaign, but it crashes and goes to my Win XP desktop before the game can even start, without any error report. :mad:

I've been having these problems aswell on XP. I read something about AVG Anti-Virus causing problems so i went into Tools->Advanced Settings->Anti-Virus->Resident Shield->Exceptions->Add Path and added C:\Program Files\Steam which fixed the problem for me :).

Hope this helps

I dont run AVG (or any other Anti-Virus program), so sadly this is does not effect me. :(

I run Avast! buy just in case I tried your suggestion. ;)

Sadly, it didn't work.

BTW, i don't have any problems with all my other Steam games (close to 20) so my guess is it's a glitch of this particular game.

Serves me well for buying it on the same day it was published. I should have waited a few days... :(

I have the exact same problem it just crashes, and more good ideas anyone???.

I'm in the same boat- it crashes right when the 1st campaign starts. Also, the fullscreen isn't quite fullscreen.. still a window around it.
I'm running win xp 64- not sure if that helps, with latest nvidia drivers, etc.
When it validates the cache it re-acquires a 742kb file, and will do so over and over again if I re-validate.

Same problem here!

I have tons of games on Steam and not a problem with any of them yet iBomber crashes to desktop when you try and start a campaign.

Win XP 32bit.

Is there any support for this game?

No. We have exactly te same problem...

[sgiesige]

I am having the exact same problem. Crashes at loading of first campaign and not exactly full screen. All other Steam games work fine. Running on Windows XP Pro.

[sirvijon]

my game crashes on start.

ibomberpacific.exe has stopped working.

i checked integrity and it says that one file failed.

win7 (64-bit)

Same problem here, crashes at loading of first mission. Updating video drivers and shutting off antivirus did not solve the problem :(

[sirvijon]

i just got mail from cobra that they are making update right now

[pepsimcloud]

Update is on servers, just waiting to be pushed out to you folks.

pepsi..

[sirvijon]

sadly it didnt help. integ gave now all files, but still crash on start

[CornishCal]

The AVG fix only worked one time for me but the update has fixed it permanently :) Thanks

[tripper976]

Mine is working with the update now. Trying deleting and re-downloading.

Just choose the option in Avast: "Disable for 10 minutes" and launch the game. Works fine for me.

I have the same problem, it gives a game.exe error and sends me back to windows. Initially i couldn't even start first mission, then i tried starting the game directly from installation folder (steam\steamapps...) and now i can reach the 3rd mission. What will i have to try to reach the end? :)

[Lt_danw]

doesn't work for me.
I have Microsoft security essentials. (on windows XP with latest GPU drivers).
i don't know if it was updated but i deleted the game and re-installed it.

[Lt_danw]

does anyone have a solution?? still no go!

[Lt_danw]

update:
so i installed Win7, and the game worked!
but now it stopped, the small loading window opens and then closes with nothing happening.
i must have installed something. but unrelated to any antivirus.
i think i installed some C++ software or .NET.

don't worry, it wouldn't matter when you got it. I'm on Mac and just bought both iBomber Defense and iBomber Defense Pacific. Pacific won't play. I like iBomber Defense, and wish I could play both. (and no AV here either)
