I'm getting a "Gears of war has stopped working" crash message whenever i try to run the game. Not sure if it's crack related. I'm on Vista. It's pretty frustrating, I can't even get into the damn game.
Anyone else having this problem?


you might try looking on the official forum. theres quite a lot of complaining on there about different kinds of crashes so someone there might have a work around. I'd go look myself but I got banned

Great game, must be the most buggy in history?


I get the runtime error, running on Vista with a AMD 64 X2 cpu and an ATI 1950 Pro.
Latest gfx drivers and have run the Dual-core optimizer.

I can't just "reopen the window to continue to play", I get an "the program has stopped working, close the program" screen and can't maximize the program and just choose to close it.
I don't have 2 network adapters and most tips seems to be for Win XP (unload WindowsBlinds etc).

Wait wait wait,what did you said?....RAZOR release is in SPANISH?...and i tought eeeeevery1 says it's ENGLISH ONLY...

sides of that,i got trouble.

1.Can't create profile,clicked/F1'ed the k.board and nothing...lights up,but does nothing
2.When in video/audio,i can't get out of it...
3.if i go to controls,all of 'em are EMPTY...and when i put default and get back into prison keyboard's ESC key is the winner,rest doesn't works...,another winner: Movin' mouse left/right makes marcus move grinhurt...but nothing else ¬¬....
4.FINAL BLOW...Game does BSOD also after i get out of the 2nd door at the Training part by kickin' it at beginning of the game

Anyone got these problems with a BOUGHT version?

Have really weird prob. I deinstalled GOW due to space. Wanted to install it on another drive etc etc. But when I hit Install now, I get...Do you want to deinstall blabla...DEINSTALL!!! WTF.
Ok, I hit ok and then I get this.


It says "Error Code bla bla, GameuxInstallHelper.DLL could not be loaded. Set up will now finish."
Any ideas here Sad
Or should I simply revert to a previous image I have of the C: drive. Had enough of that today, as something happened to my NIC, but that's another story.

I would if I could read the error messages lol. What release are you using?

If your using anything that the razor release then I really dunno. Install the rzor1911 release, use crack, startup game, if it doesn't start up right away end the startup.exe process then start the game up again.

Well make sure you made an offline profile for starters. And the save bug occurs in act two from what it sounds like, I was in act 2 as well when all my saves were lost.

BUMP Sad I know its a wierd error...but anybody please!

I guess some crap is hanging in the system from the previous deinstall (reg etc) but...what the hell to search for. Allready checked that there are no traces of GOW in Regedit...must be some files with another name.

might just be the gamepad isn't natively supported. A lot of 360 games being ported over are using the x360 gamepad layout.

did you go into the controller setup menu and change the "invert y axis" option?

PostPosted: Mon, 12th Nov 2007 14:10    Post subject: yes i did.
but the invert option is for the right analog only for the look around axis.
im very frustrated, coz the logi gamepad is one of the most popular for pc.
it would be a shame if you can only play the game with a xbox controller.

im shure that it can be fixed via the ini files, but i dont have any idea where to start

I just come home and i have FIXED MY CRASHING problem !!!

I did two things. One of thouse solved it.

1) I started the UPNP service (that is used by games for windows live). This service was disabled (did it myself because i don't like UPNP). --> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941206/en-us

2) I have putted Kaspersky in compatibility mode. For all Kaspersky users try this one i think that did the trick. Look here how to do this:

http://www.kaspersky.com/support/kis...&qid=208279439

I don't like that i have to put Kaspersky in compatibility mode. In compatibility mode the protection of confidential data and anti-dailer is disabled.

Maybe it's the g4wl shit that runs on top of the game... I think that is the source of all the problems.

It's a separate app that runs on top of the game.

I also had a crash with vista 64bit after playing the game 10seconds or change some display settings, my friend had the same with vista 32bit, both are fixed now here is how i fixed it:

go to C:\Program Files)\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries
or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries for vista 64bit

right click -> create shortcut
right click on the shortcut -> run as administrator.

No crashes anymore, fixed with both me and my friend Smile

Well I have a Intel Core2Duo, and despite the fact that I have installed the dual core fix and turned off the sound effects, the game still crashes, at first I can just Alt-tab back in to the game but a minute later it crashes the whole thing.
I have also tried to disable Unpnp, and disabled my firewall, but still no luck.

Btw. I have the Razor proper edition, any help would be greatly appreciated Smile
