Help! My AP (modded) randomly stopped working.. (Mod issue with AV software)

[Tiedyeguy]

Suddenly my AP V3.1a has suddenly stopped working through the "X-Universe Plugin Manager" with a .Net Framework Runtime error at boot. Vanilla works fine, but I can't get my modded game to start. The interesting thing is that *nothing else has changed*. My laptop hasn't even been online since the game last worked.

Any ideas?

Error message and DXDiag in comments.

P.S., Windows 7 Professional

Running mods, not sure if it's helpful

I cannot speak for the mods or mod manager, but from the DxDiag I would say check that your modded game exe is set to use the Nvidia card and not the onboard Intel graphics chipset.

Both your Intel graphics driver and RealTek sound driver are out of date and can be updated from the respective firm's websites. I cannot see your Nvidia driver to check that is up to date but it may be worth checking on their site.

You have Ffdshow and Haali codecs that are bad news with X games. Make sure that Ffdshow is disabled for use with your modded game exe or, better yet, uninstall the application or codec pack that installed FFdshow and Haali as you most probably do not need them.

Good luck.

Just to be clear, the game doesn't use .Net and the error message appears to be coming from the Plugin Manager, not the game. Maybe a Windows Update changed something in the .Net environment it uses, but that's a matter between you and the Plugin Manager's author. I suggest you post in the Plugin Manager thread over in the Scripts and Modding forum.

@CBJ that would explain why vanilla works just fine.

I'm curious about what happened, because as I said, the laptop doesn't even have internet access at home.

Thanks to both of yous. You may lock this, but I'd like to leave it up for reference to the Plugin Manager folks.

Oh.... THAT could be my problem...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwBiuq ... cslist_api anyone know about this "identity threat" identified as "IDP.ALEXA.51"

It's often reported as a false positive by AVG.

I restored the Plugin Manager file from the "Virus vault" and the modded game works fine again. I hope that was actually a false positive.
