Getting a crash in MMDevApi.dll - help! (Updated with solution)

by William Andrews · in Torque 3D Professional · 04/13/2011 (9:33 pm) · 3 replies

All,

I just installed Torque 3 professional. I have updated my drivers and I am still having the problem. I am running 64 bit windows 7 with ATI Radon 5500s (two running in crossfire).

From the Torque toolbox, I can play the game using the "Play in Web" option. The World Editor, Play Game, and Gui editors all cause crashes. I cannot find a crash log but I get the following from the windows event viewer:

Faulting application name: FPS Example.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4ad5a676
Faulting module name: MMDevApi.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bda29
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00018c7d
Faulting process id: 0x3b0
Faulting application start time: 0x01cbfa5ba5cd2f57
Faulting application path: C:TorqueTorque 3D 2009 SDK 1.0.1ExamplesFPS ExamplegameFPS Example.exe
Faulting module path: C:WindowsSystem32MMDevApi.dll
Report Id: e6169e9b-664e-11e0-84c4-bcaec534c56b

Any ideas?

I am rather fustrated as I have spent hours trying to fix this.

Try downloading Torque 3D 1.1 Preview which came out a week ago. You seem to be running the Torque 3D 1.0.1 which is a year or more old.

I am running 1.01. I will do as you suggest this evening.

Thanks for the reply!

All,

The answer is OpenAl. I uninstalled it and the crashes went away. I have had trouble with strange crashes with Creative drivers in the past so I gave it a shot.
