"dndclient has stoped working" error

[Difur1]

I loaded the quickstart game over the weekend and it worked fine Friday but on Saturday I got the dndclient has stoped working error. I uninstalled the game on sunday and reinstalled it and it worked fine after that until today when I tried to log on again.

I want to play this game, from the small amount I was able to play I would be willing to pay for a subscription for the game if it were not for the error.

Dose anyone have any idea's?

[AdventCrypt]

or give me word for word whats in the box

[Difur1]

3/4 of the screen is still black with the gray Microsoft Windows box

I'm able to successfully log in, and choose world, but after the screen goes black and the hourglass appears, I get a split second of an image before it pixellates and the game crashes.

Error information:
AppName: dndclient.exe AppVer: 1.10.1.8011 ModName: binkw32.dll
ModVer: 1.8.18.0 Offset: 0000c89d

Had no connectivity issues at all 24 hours ago, so I assume this has something to do with the recent update? BTW, I still have a good 2.5 GB left of full game content yet to download.

i'm still trying to figure out whats wrong with the other guy -....-

[VehatOki]

I am also now experiencing the exact same problem that Difur1 has. Any solution?

[savoylen]

Yep... this is my problem too.

I'm running vista 32 and a nvidia card.

[Difur1]

So after reading several of the post in this form I thought I would just let the full game download and see it that would fix it. When I got home tonight and loged on the launch Turbine said that I only had 7 mins left to finish the download. I was at 4.54 GB of 4.89 GB. That was at 6:30 pm, it's now 8:30 and I have 7 hours 26min remaining, opps it now 7 hours and 28 mins.

This is getting old quick.

Do I go back to WOW (damm me for saying that)

[Difur1]

OK, so here's the answer to the problem.
wait for the download to finish. Simple as that. but the download took me 3 day's when I would first start or restart my computer the download would run fast for about 2 to 5 mins then it would stop. as soon as the full version was downloaded it played fine.

Thanks AdventCrypt for your help, I know you were trying to come up with something.

Time to go kick some butt!!!

Thanks, AC.

I used my connection at work to download the full hi-res game content. Will install later tonight, and see how that goes, given Difur's recent success.

EDIT: Yup, that seems to have done the trick.

Yep I have the same problem now too. I was playing just fine earlier today, but now I get to select a world and that intro movie starts. Then it crashes to desktop and I get that error.

What if I just make an empty bink file with the same name? Will that bypass this?

[Ithyel]

I replaced the old binkw32.dll file in the install directory and now I can't even get to the movie before it crashes. I get this error instead: The procedure entry point_BinkSetSoundTrack@8 could not be located in the dynamic link library binkw32.dll.

I can't play the game because of this. Back to Modern Warfare 2 till this is done...

Can someone upload the binkw32.dll used by the game somewhere? I'd be much obliged.

[shaolinchamp]

im getting the same error too.

i saw in one of the stickied threads that it suggest renaming the user preferences file in the documents, but it doesnt indicate what i should be renaming it too. maybe someone could shed some light on a solution

[HighRoller]

same here guys any help would be much appreciated i was playing fine the other day - im getting terrible DL speeds so would like to play the game again if i could coz this may take awhile

[AngeallHewley]

Ok, just to make sure everyones on the same page: 1. we all played the game once from install and 2. Now that we are trying again it crashes a second after the opening music and video starts.

so, if i uninstall and reinstall to play again it should work? and where is the turbine downloader putting the full game?

[zouler]

the thing is, the turbine never finished downloading the game, i left the computer downloading at 70.7% yesterday, and when i checked it today, it was at 70,7%, already checked the connection, firewall, and other stuff. I wanted to try this game, since i've got bored of wow too.. so, any idea on how to resolve this guys? thnx in advance.

I am now reinstailing the game and I hope this is the fix! If not I guess I am back to the old stuff I did before and thats a shame because I liked what I saw.

[Mirthgar]

Try opening up the "Userpreferences.ini" file located in "My Documents" (XP) or "Documents" (Vista/7) and look for the line "ShowIntroMovie" and change it to "False" (ie. ShowIntroMovie=False)

Save and exit the prefs file before launching again to test.
