Topic: Help with Decal/Eltank, I think I've tried everything except asking here

kliphawk Posts: ???? Registered: ???? Extended Info (if available) Real Post Cnt: 0 User ID: 0	Subject: Help with Decal/Eltank, I think I've tried everything except asking here
	Right to the point: I have not been able to get Decal and Eltank to work comsistently, it will run for as long as I do not log the first toon out and try to log another toon (on same Acct). When I do so, I get the following: Could not initialize Direct3D, Please ensure that DirectX.9.0 or higher is installed. I run Norton anti-virus and I get the PERMIT this site or not question, even after answering YES (to permit this site) keeps poping right back up. Finally, Acclient crashes me to desktop. I'm not sure if the EXPORT below shows it or not but I have the Latest version of DirectX, I followed the directions for updating the .Net 2.0 framework and D3DX. Over the last month or so as Decal has been updated for all the patches, I UNINSTALLED everything and RE-INSTALLED the newer versions but keep getting the above errors....ARGH Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...........Thank You Decal (DenAgent.exe) version: 2.9.4.0 type, enabled, name, version, clsid Plugins, 1, MakeIt Vsn 5.9.5, 5.9.5.0, {70DD2CC6-E638-4F43-9F15-C84A0FC7DC76} Plugins, 1, Decal Hotkey System, 2.9.4.0, {6B6B9FA8-37DE-4FA3-8C60-52BD6A2F9855} Plugins, 1, ELTank v2.6.0.20-Beta-5e, 2.6.0.20, {39E9E0F5-85D7-4C38-87D6-3BBCB853357E} Plugins, 1, Virindi Friends Migration, 1.0.0.0, {7C20DCB5-66F4-43E2-88DD-1060799B1F05} Network Filters, 1, Echo Filter 2, 2.9.4.0, {34239EAD-6317-4C40-A405-193BA5232DD8} Network Filters, 1, Character Stats Filter, 2.9.4.0, {4540C969-08D1-46BF-97AD-6B19D3C10BEE} Network Filters, 1, World Object Filter, 2.9.4.0, {53092D1B-F0B0-46FF-BF11-8F031EC9B137} Network Filters, 1, Decal FileService, 2.9.4.0, {5E9B2FC3-C251-4589-8CE3-2BCA542B98B6} Network Filters, 1, Identify Queue Filter, 2.9.4.0, {B0C05A9A-273D-4BC4-B7BA-E27CF94C8EF4} Network Filters, 1, SpellFilter, 2.9.4.0, {C2D43735-BE7E-4829-AF73-F2E7E820EB16} Services, 1, Decal .NET Lifetime Service, 2.9.4.0, {71A69713-6593-47EC-0001-0000000DECA1} Services, 1, Decal Dat Service, 2.9.4.0, {37B083F0-276E-43AD-8D26-3F7449B519DC} Services, 1, Decal Render Service, 2.9.4.0, {FB3C8286-88ED-4B4D-B413-94B40F346239} Services, 1, Decal Inject Gateway Service, 2.9.4.0, {FEFE5CAB-10E4-404F-AD4D-184BCB506099} Services, 1, Decal Input Service, 2.9.4.0, {B33307BA-706D-474A-80B9-70BB8D13EF3E} Services, 1, Decal Networking Service, 2.9.4.0, {C8C406F8-BA2E-4964-8B04-FF38394A8E0E} Surrogates, 1, Decal.Adapter Surrogate, 2.9.4.0, {71A69713-6593-47EC-0002-0000000DECA1} Surrogates, 1, Prefilter Network Filter Surrogate, 2.9.4.0, {443D4A68-5422-4E0C-9460-973F8FBDB190} Surrogates, 1, ActiveX Plugin Surrogate, 2.9.4.0, {7559F22F-C56F-4621-AE08-9C354D799D4B} Surrogates, -1, Version 1 Plugin Surrogate, 2.9.4.0, {3D837F6E-B5CA-4604-885F-7AB45FCFA62A} Input Actions, 1, Delay Input Action, 2.9.4.0, {324D76B8-D8C7-4A81-B867-E4E1F874E488} Input Actions, 1, Mouse Move Input Action, 2.9.4.0, {57D18578-0BF0-4DE5-A0A9-E7CB531C0429} Input Actions, 1, Restore Input Action, 2.9.4.0, {6EE2F682-7129-44BE-84B9-787BAE35EC1C} Input Actions, 1, Polled Delay Input Action, 2.9.4.0, {762335B2-2274-4BB4-8B1F-F7286C949FF7} Input Actions, 1, Typing Input Action, 2.9.4.0, {9CDCEEDC-F8AC-42D5-9A05-52B9346D00A4} Input Actions, 1, Event Input Action, 2.9.4.0, {D6E4BD19-4900-4515-BCE2-A9EA4AAE2699} Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600) [Protected Storage Service] : Automatic Decal Settings : Timer (Default) [Portal Path] : C:\Program Files\Turbine\Asheron's Call -

	if i recall correctly a few months ago, it was recommnded to turn off Character Stats Filter and World Object Filter Tank is not dependant on them Other than that im not sure. Looks like you have all the required stuff. Couldn't hurt to get the other .net framework packages. Umm check to see if you have direct X 9c run ms update,.... Other than that i don't see anything, but i have been out of the dev game for along time. -----signature----- I must obey the rules I must be tame and cool No staring at the clouds, I must stay on the ground I must be pure and true, I must contain my views For trade and walkthroughs http://d-h-o.us/AC/

	Thanks again Hunter, will check the above. I really appreciate your input. Okay had to uncheck the 2 filters you mentioned. And I have DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) All MS updates are current. Will be playing shortly to see if this fixes the problem. Thanks Again Hunter..... -----signature-----

	Okay, I probably need to apologize to the Devs here and/or Hunter, for perhaps using the wrong board to ask these questions. I used to have a Patron in AC that was a trained software engineer who helped me with all of this. Alas, he has left AC for WoW and no longer wubs me enough to help with these issues. Thanks again Hunter for all your help. Still getting the original errors, plus having a problem with RUNNING while in game. I'm running using the 'up' direction key, then use the 'left' or 'right' direction key to turn but it stops me running/pauses, turns me in the direction I want to go, then starts running again. LOL this has never happened before. NOT asking for help here, just wanted to update after Hunters last input on what to try next. If, I am able to find the correct forum to address these issues myself, I promise to go there first............... Thanks again for your time...... -----signature-----

	kliphawk for the running, is tank on? If so log in with it/decal off. Still happen? If so it's some weird Ac issue. If not, then it's a tank issue. Is tank started? If so stop it. Does this help? If tank is active and trying to attack, it will really mess with your running/autorunning And i just read on another thread, you cannot use makeit and tank at the same time. -----signature----- I must obey the rules I must be tame and cool No staring at the clouds, I must stay on the ground I must be pure and true, I must contain my views For trade and walkthroughs http://d-h-o.us/AC/

	On the not running issue. After u buff,turn Tank off (break key) and equip yur weapon and turn tank back on. I think Tank is tad confused after you first log in and buff. I think it trying to put up a weapon every few secs but it does not know what weapon to put up. -----signature----- (none)

	The problem with Auto-run (g) is a known issue that popped up this patch (And update) with decal and Eltank, Elgar is looking into it... it seems auto-run is disenguaging when Tank detects a mob... best thing is to turn tank off (Pause key) run, and turn it back on when you get there... As for the inability to log on a second Character on the same account consistantly, I have seen that too, but you are getting more information then I do, mine just crashes with the "Had a problem need to close" and an ok button... -----signature-----
