Breakpoint reached error

[edb1815]

This morning I tried starting the game and received this error message when I clicked play. (Steam version)

App error

Breakpoint reached

0x80000003

Location
0x0000000075528497

I had to click through several dialog boxes (all the same) to get rid of the message. This is the first time I have had any crash or problem starting FOGII

A quick google search reveals this could be a memory leak. Curious if this has come up for anyone and if there is a fix short of reinstalling the game.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

a few things to try,

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_art ... -QEUH-3335

Verify Integrity of Game Files

and see if that sorts out any missing or altered files

are you using any custom mods?

(regarding the memory leak, if it was one, everyone would have it, so it's unlikely to be one, but it could be a memory error, that's not uncommon, when a assigned memory address is being accessed by 2 different apps or programs, which causes an error, or a faulty memory module)

only way to check to see if its the first one above, is with a clean profile, which loads only the basic's needed to run windows, then run the game, no error means it's something you may have running in the background, but if it still errors out, then it could be a faulty memory module in the pc, 9 out of 10 times it isn't and more than likely the first, a background process or program etc

a report may also add more details as well, if you wish for us to look deeper,

How to get a DirectX Diagnostic file:

1. click on "START"
2. click "run"
3. type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments rather than pasted into the body of the post.

once the report has been made, just attach it to your post with first adding the file to a zip, which is then permitted to attach to the forum

What were you doing when the error occurred? Can you please post the error messages, and ideally the error log (which should have been saved as a timestamp next time you run the game).

Thanks

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I am at work now so I'll have to wait until later to run tests.

I had just downloaded an update to another Steam game prior to attempting to start FOGII. I do have the Chinese campaign mod installed.

I found the problem. The issue was not isolated to FOGII, none of my apps would open. Turns out there was a conflict with the Windows (10) Error reporting service - Werfault.exe. I disabled it and everything works. Thanks for your quick responses.
