Again, If you are encountering Hellgate:London related problems or know some solutions that are not listed please post them in the comments box below.

Problem #5 : AVG and Avast detects Hellgate London as a virus Win32:Virut”.
Note : This is a false warning (false positive) from the said anti-viruses. It’s safe to run the game. Hopefully this will get resolved in a future patch or an update from the said anti-viruses.

Everytime I try to install the game I get this error in some form ..

Problem #8 : During Hellgate London’s installation, I get this error message “Error reading file D:\Program Files\Flagship Studios\Hellgate London\MP_x86\hellgate_mp_dx9_x86.exe Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.”
Solution #1 : Install the game in the c:\ drive (or partition)
Solution #2 : Run the game with administrator priviledges

Problem #9 : I have the retail Version of Hellgate: London, and all the characters are highly transparent/translucent/see-through. How do I change this?

Problem #10 : Hellgate London Installation error regarding the “requirements does not met”
Solution : If you run the program with the compatabilty ioptions as XP sp2 it works just fine.
(Hellgate London Installation problem and solution provided by Chris Flavell)

Problem #11 : Hellgate London “Error reading frim file…” and disc reading errors.
Solution : If you suspect that it is a SECUROM related problem (copy protection mechanism in the discs themselves.), check this site : It is indeed SecurROM. Here is a handy link to error message resolution, which is recomended to try before the analysis step above: http://www.securom.com/support_enduser.asp?t=2
(reported by Issai and the solution came solidusprime)

    My installation keep promptin me about error reading the file D:\ProgramFiles\Flagship Studios\Hellgate London\Data\hellgate_movies000.dat

  3. Bretto — November 1, 2007 @ 5:04 am

    Whenever I start up the game, it tells me that it requires 0.9MHz minimum but I have 0.0MHz (0.0 GHz) on my processor. That’s strange… I could have sworn it ACTUALLY had 4.6 GHz. I’m running Vista Home Premium with a ATI Sapphire Radeon X1950XT with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 (2.66 GHz on each) and 3.0 gb RAM. Also, I just found out DXDiag can’t tell what my processor speed is either. Any help?

  4. XPNobody — November 1, 2007 @ 8:59 am

    My game will not install. I put the game in the DVD drive and I am prompted by the Install screen, I can choose either or option and I get a windows pop up saying preparing to install and then after a few seconds it disappears and nothing happens. I have tried this several times with each of my 2 DVD drives with the same effect.

    I went and deleted both the copy of the demo and beta and deleted the registry entries.

    I have the retail Version of Hellgate: London, and all the characters are highly transparent/translucent/see-through. How do I change this?

  6. Chris Flavell — November 2, 2007 @ 12:25 am

    Ive installed the game, when i try and play, it says my rig doesn’t match min requirements when i know full well that it does! Any help!?

  7. Micheal Brooks — November 2, 2007 @ 2:26 am

    I wonder who really out there cares I believe after all the testing that they did for so many months that such intial problems should not be there. Also if a game has this many intial problems many be it should not have been sold till the game was well tested.

  8. Chris Flavell — November 2, 2007 @ 11:46 am

    Got a temprary fix for the “doesn’t match min requirements” bug, if you run the program with the compatabilty ioptions as XP sp2 it works just fine.

  10. Bretto — November 2, 2007 @ 8:37 pm

    I figured out the 0.0GHz problem…
    If DXDiag can’t tell you your processor speed, then you have this problem. DXDiag can’t get the information from Windows Management Instrumentation. If you open it (msinfo32) it should have an error message of some kind. Google what it tells ya and best of luck - it’s been the hardest thing to fix, but I got it done by messing with some files. When WMI is up, DXDiag can tell your processor, and it will let you run the game better.

  11. darius — November 3, 2007 @ 3:18 am

    Hey Bretto, what did you actually have to do? Do you have a link you could provide, coz i’ve been up for the last 6 hours trying to figure this thing out. I’m feeling so stupid right now, so if you could point me in the right direction i’d much appreciate it!

  12. Templareau — November 3, 2007 @ 9:49 am

    It’s driving me nuts. I don’t have emulation software on my pc! I’ve checked it a thousand times, there is NOTHING on my pc even related to emulation software, only a few games, some music, two movies and the standard programs. And still I get this bloody error. Bah.

  16. Rhia — November 3, 2007 @ 10:39 pm

    I have downloaded the game from EA, and when it is decrypted, extracted, and I try to install it, I get the following error message after I enter my serial no. :

    “Could not open key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EACore\\Staging\\eadm\\eadm\\online_content\\hellgate_london\\ergc. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel”

    I have updated my graphics drivers, and tried redownloading the game as well, in case it missed a file.

    Help! Thanks

  17. Arie — November 3, 2007 @ 11:20 pm

    installed the game, retail version.

    tried to run as admin ect. updated all drivers.
    anybody?
    thanx

  18. Bretto — November 3, 2007 @ 11:24 pm

    Well darius, the thing is, the reason why your WMI isn’t working could be a million different reasons. That is basically what I found out from searching for about as long as you did. If you really think it will help: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.wmi/msg/1da6ab3690bc75a0
    This was my solution.
    However, there are other things WMI needs, like you need to make sure it’s on, running, and has its three dependent services running at the same time. It’s really up to however you can diagnose your problem. Good luck.

  19. Bawlin — November 4, 2007 @ 12:53 am

    Getting a problem with loading up the game. When it comes up to the menu section where you usually choose multiplayer, or options or whatever, those options are simply not there. There looks to be like, the scroll bar from the chat window at the side, but I can’t interact with it.

    Anyone else experience this?

  20. m3t3or — November 4, 2007 @ 1:36 am

    After pushing the “Start Single/Multiplayer Game” the Game crashes and an error occurs:

    Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
    Process id=0xab0(2736), Thread id=0xc80(3200)
    Click ok for terminate/cancel for debug

    Great…and for that i payed money? Could you PLEASE finish your betatests BEFORE you sell your product?

    Regarding comment #13, here’s a possible answer:

    Q: when I try and connect to the EU multiplayer servers i get a connection message saying “(Connection error 8-2587) check anti-virus and firewall configuration” the thing is i dont have a firewall or anti virus programme, Im using a wireless connection with a Netgear router, i forwarded all the ports for hellgate london aswell. help me please, thankyou!

    A: If you have PeerGuardian running on your system, disable it and retry logging into the game.

  23. arni — November 4, 2007 @ 7:09 am

  27. Alex Reed — November 4, 2007 @ 8:22 pm

    Ive got the retail verison of the game. I installed it fine, and it loads up fine. If i use DX9 the game runs fine, i get through the character selection screen fine, except all the characters and some of the scenery seems to glow, and are very blurred! Now in DX10, the game loads up fine and the character selection screen is ok, and the characters look really good! When i goto start the game, it start to load and i get into the main game for about half a second, then the whole thing hangs…. Ive now put on the single player patch 0. Now i can load the game to the main menu and when i click on Single Player game. i get the loading screen come up and it just stays there! The Circula load bar spins for a little bit, but then just stops!

    System Specs:
    Intel Core2 Duo 2.40Ghz
    DFI ICFX3200-T2R Mother board
    4GB 6400 Corsair DDR2 (5.5.18.22)
    ATI HD2900XT 512MG (DX10 Card)

    Guys, there will be another patch for hellgate london, expect it within a few hours from now. Details about the patch here : http://www.gamingnewslink.com/2007/11/05/hellgate-london-patch-01-guy-fawkes-day/

    hopefully, FSS would have some of these glitches fixed in the patch.

    @ ALEX : hey, people who had problems with their hellgate london on an ATI video card that is using the 7.9 and 7.10 drivers during the demo were able to fix that prob when they reverted to 7.8

    make sure that you uninstall and delete the old ATI installation folder or else Windows might automatically update your reverted 7.8 drivers to 7.9/10.

    Problem #7 : Hellgate London crashes after the splash screen and displays the message - Unrecoverable Error message “The application failed to initialize, perhaps because of corrupted data files. Please reinstall the application and try again.

    – i use refreshforce and had all screen sizes set to 80hz when i changed it to 100 the game worked fine.

  40. Steven Marks — November 6, 2007 @ 4:19 am

    Is there no other way to fix this problem? The performance gain the 7.10 catalyst offers is considerable…so reverting to 7.8 is like changing my card to a 2600…can it be fixed another way?

  41. Alex Reed — November 6, 2007 @ 4:45 am

    Well i hate to say it, but ive just updated the game, and dx10 mode still wont load…. get into the main menu, i click single player game… and thats it… starts to load, but just crashs.

  42. Templerau — November 6, 2007 @ 6:19 am

    Screen / game crashing at first sound like fingernails down a chalkboard and you use Soundblaster?

    Well disable sound acceleration from the control panel>sound>advanced and it will work, the crash is a hardware sound acceleration issue.

  43. Bob — November 6, 2007 @ 7:04 am

    I was playing the single player game and my power was cut during play. Now when I load up the game my character doesnt appear on the character selection screen. I really don’t feel like starting again…

  49. Shadowjack — November 7, 2007 @ 6:05 pm

    Installed retail HGL 05/11/07, works fine in Single Player mode. Tried Multi Player 06/11/07 and connected to default EU server, I get all the latest downloads DX9, DX10 DLLs etc. At th eend it stops, gives me a “Windows has encountered an error” and bombs me out! Thereafter, this eror message comes up everytime I go MultiPlayer!
    I’ve deinstalled, disabled AV, ran as administrator and reloaded the game fresh - same problem every time the MultiPlayer download comes to an end. 1) Is this a server issue? 2) How can I download the updated files manually? 3) Do I have to deinstall, then reinstall everytime this happens?

  51. Dennis — November 9, 2007 @ 1:18 am

    I have an answer to PROBLEM #7:
    I ran into this on multiple install attempts.
    Regardless of what was running.
    However, when I set up my NVIDIA Control to use DUAL VIEW rather than WIDE VIEW, I was able to play the game.
    NVIDIA allows you to span two monitors as if they were one monitor. WIDE VIEW (my term) works with every other game I own. However, when I was using the WIDE view, Hellgate blew up. It does not seem to support 2560×1024 resolution.

    SO, If you get the error : “Corrupt Data Files”
    check your video config and make sure Hellgate only ’sees’ one monitor and resolution.

  54. Mr.Smith — November 9, 2007 @ 3:10 pm

    So….. I installed this game running Windows XP with a 2.4 Duo Core processor with a Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb DDR3 Vid card and 2 gigs of ram. Ran perfectly, bought a new hard-drive and Windows vista 64bit (which is compatable with my motherboard processor etc) installed Directx10 and all of the 64 bit drivers for m vid card etc. I get the error of my CPU req is too low saying im running at 900mhz. i checked my computer properties and it says my specs are 2.4 ghz core2. I tried the solution on this forum stating the compatability change to XP SP2. Still i recieved the error but the game worked after that smoothly at the character screen/loading screen, but once in the game, it was so laggy i couldnt even move. I re-installed my vid drivers and then UNCHECKED the compatibility XP SP2 checkbox. now the game loads smoothly on the character screen and IN GAME. but now when i go outside into dungeuns etc the game lags so badly i can barely move, (even though it runs perfectly in town). WTF IS GOING ON?!?!???!

  62. Wolf — November 11, 2007 @ 2:34 am

    The game Freezes occasionally when clicking on items on the ground or in the inventory, only way I can exit is by forcing the computer to go into standby and ctrl+alt+del the application and restarting the program. Is this just me, or are other people getting this same bug?

  63. John — November 11, 2007 @ 7:04 am

    Yes my XP is up to date…
    Cant find NOTHING to solve this shit !!!!

  66. aardwolf — November 12, 2007 @ 4:54 am

    Whenever I exit the game and start it again I am taken to ‘character create’ screen, just like if there are no existing characters yet. the saves are saved to folder ’saves/singlegame’ (folder with maps and .hg1 file for every created character) and the game is reading them because I cannot create a new character with the same name (’name is used’). Also patching is problematic - after running the patch I got message ‘Please close the Launcher before continuing. Retry? Cancel?’.
    Apart from lack of saving possibility the game is running without any problems.
    Did anyone observe this bug?

  67. lambros — November 12, 2007 @ 8:12 pm

    i have a huge problem..when i start the game it says”FMOD 40804 needed but only 40725(or smth)found…

  68. Duim — November 12, 2007 @ 8:22 pm

    This game is just a HUGE BUG.

    Only problems, ridiculous problems…

  69. Erevos — November 13, 2007 @ 1:43 am

  70. FEANOR — November 13, 2007 @ 1:53 am

    ANYBODY NOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH SOUND ON VISTA?

  71. Wil — November 13, 2007 @ 7:04 am

    “The game requires Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later. PLEASE TELL ME you’ve worked out a way to get it to run on Windows 64bit. Don’t think even for a seccond i could afford to buy a new windows. I’ve tried ALL compatability options… So… What’s the plan?

  72. Duim — November 13, 2007 @ 8:53 am

    Yes, delete this shit and play another game.
    I spend 50dolars on this game for nothing, i cant even play… my PC runs GeoW smootlhy and this shit gives me 1-5 fps some times…

  73. Taku-San — November 15, 2007 @ 3:58 am

    I’m having this problem where when i try to run the game in either multilayer I’m getting an error where it says that I am missing an .dll file. When im trying to run singleplayer i get an error that says “The procedure entry point GetProcessHandleCount could not be located in the dynamic library KERNAL32.dll. When trying to instal the patch i get a WINHTTP.dll missing error. THis was before a reformat below.
    Ive just recently reformatted my computer and tried installing the game all over again and its not working either.
    I honestly do not know what else to do.

  74. Nezor — November 15, 2007 @ 11:00 pm

    Every time I login after 7-10 minutes I get an Error saying
    “Network Error”
    Server error

    and then it throws me out of the game.
    I can login again but no use it keeps disconecting me.

    Help.

    I’m running Vista on AMD Atlln +3500, 1GB DDR2, Asus Nvidia 7300GS. btw the dxdiag tool says I have DX10 but inside HG:L I use DX9 there isn’t a DX10 option.ADSL 768kbps. From Greece.

  75. Mr Smith's teacher — November 16, 2007 @ 6:10 am

    Question: So….. I installed this game running Windows XP with a 2.4 Duo Core processor with a Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb DDR3 Vid card and 2 gigs of ram. Ran perfectly, bought a new hard-drive and Windows vista 64bit (which is compatable with my motherboard processor etc) installed Directx10 and all of the 64 bit drivers for m vid card etc. I get the error of my CPU req is too low saying im running at 900mhz. i checked my computer properties and it says my specs are 2.4 ghz core2. I tried the solution on this forum stating the compatability change to XP SP2. Still i recieved the error but the game worked after that smoothly at the character screen/loading screen, but once in the game, it was so laggy i couldnt even move. I re-installed my vid drivers and then UNCHECKED the compatibility XP SP2 checkbox. now the game loads smoothly on the character screen and IN GAME. but now when i go outside into dungeuns etc the game lags so badly i can barely move, (even though it runs perfectly in town). WTF IS GOING ON?!?!???!

    Answer: Core 2 duo has this feature to run at lower speed when not in load. Power saving feature. Open up your Bios on your Asus board and find this feature and disable it. Your game will be fine after that

  76. Nezor — November 16, 2007 @ 8:07 am

    soething else I just noticed

    When I get to the login screen I can see that my current version is 1.0.32.4020.

    why I can not update?

    When I get to C:\Program Files\Flagship Studios\Hellgate London\LauncherData\NTLFL

    there are folders named 1.10.180.3416 and so on.

    I think that something doesn’t go right.

    When I run LaucherQuickPatcher.exe It downloads a ntlfl.cfg file and then I have to click on finish but the version of the game is still 1.0.30.4020

    please somebody to help me.

  77. Michael — November 17, 2007 @ 1:59 am

    I have vista and ive tried all the carsh things that was posted and still it doesnt work in singal player its gr8 exapt for the slow frame rate for some reason.Anyway it shows the loading screen and then just windows comes up and says “hellgate london stoped working look for solution ect ect”

  78. Thrand — November 17, 2007 @ 7:39 pm

    I was having trouble with hellgate, kept telling me that my rig didnt meet minimum requirements…

    Nvidia 8800 GTX
    Intel Core Duo 2 CPU @ 3.00 GHz 3.00 GHz
    2GB of RAM

    Found a fix that worked for me though. If you are a vista user,
    right click the hellgate:london shortcut on your desktop
    go to properties
    Compatability
    Then tick the box that says “run this program in compatability mode for:”
    Choose Windows XP service pack 2 from the dropdown list
    apply
    ok

    Worked for me, hope it works for you guys

  79. HellTeddy — November 20, 2007 @ 3:04 pm

    Hi, i got 8800Gtx and 2.33Ghz QUAD CORE with 8 gigs of ram
    my game ran smoothe till the 1st patch(before the patch i was stuck in town as the next part of my journey takes me into a dungeon that is black, patch fixed this) after the update my display driver crashes and windows vista(64bit) reloads it at witch point HGL bombs. Got latest display drivers and still nothing, any ideas?

  80. Dan — November 22, 2007 @ 5:54 pm

    How do you fix the emulation software issue?? I don’t think this game goes well with Vista!!!!!!!!! :(

  81. Beau — November 24, 2007 @ 2:14 pm

    Ok, This damn game is makeing me mad. I have tried thier customer support and they dont help me at all. The laptop im playn with is a toshiba x205 4 gigs of ram 2.8 proccessor and N vidia 8700gt with direct x 10. and still cant figure out why the game says i ran out of memory. This is only in campaign game. This is crap i bought a game that doesnt work. Because it is buggy. Wonderful the testing they do on these games before they put them out to the public to purchase. If anyone has a idea of what i might do to fix this problem hit me up. thanks

  88. Aliomattux — December 2, 2007 @ 6:02 pm

    Whats up,
    I have an interesting issue. I installed the game without error. When I tried to run the game the splash screen loads and it switches to fullscreen and then just flashes every few seconds and does nothing after that. My specs are VGN-AR520E 2gb ddr2, 8400mgt, 1.8 ghz. I have tested the computer against supreme commander and c&c3 and they run without errors. I also ran 3dmark06 without errors. I am running vista x64 business. I do not have the drivers for the sigmatel audio codec installed “because they do not exist” and that is the only reason I could come up with as to why the game refuses to run. On another note. On my other pc I had a good sword, a REALLY good sword and when I went to bed and woke up to play it… It was gone.

  89. Aliomattux — December 2, 2007 @ 6:16 pm

    For all, I would like to post a solution to my own problem. For some terrible reason the game defaults to setting the anti-aliasing at extreme. I manually ran the dx10 file in the games folder and then changed the setting.

  90. Rhandric — December 3, 2007 @ 12:36 am

    bujak -
    I have been having the same problem. What I found, however, was that this occurs only when I have, at some point during a boot, run Process Explorer. Are you having the same experience? While that is not a good fix (not running process explorer), it is a temporary fix until this issue can be resolved properly

  91. Tim — December 3, 2007 @ 11:38 pm

  94. youssef — December 8, 2007 @ 11:41 pm

    I fixed the sound problem by downloading the FMOD 40804 from: http://www.ctuser.net/showfiles.php?runtime/fmod
    choose fmodex_dll_40804.zip, then extract it to sp_x86 & mp_x86. this is also for the message “Need FMOD version 40804 but only version 40725 is available”

  95. youssef — December 8, 2007 @ 11:45 pm

    i fixed ” conflict with emulation server detected ” you need to turn off Daemon tools. make sure you unmount the drive and turn the drive off. and Go here http://www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/hellgatelondon.shtml

    for the no cd crack. download this one…HELLGATE: LONDON v1 {v1.43.25.4015} [ENGLISH] NO-DVD/FIXED EXE (5.49MB)
    extract that file to..
    C:\Program Files\Flagship Studios\Hellgate London\SP_x86
    click yes to overwright. start game…update..play

  96. youssef — December 8, 2007 @ 11:46 pm

    But I’ve got a problem with loading up the game. When it comes up to the menu section where you usually choose multiplayer, or options or whatever, those options are simply not there. There looks to be like, the scroll bar from the chat window at the side, but I can’t interact with it.

    Anyone else experience this?

    Any suggestions?

  109. Soviet — December 27, 2007 @ 7:35 pm

    No one has an answer to the .dll questions? This is rediculous I install and upadate the game and try and launch either singleplayer or multiplayer and it tells me;” “The Procedure Cannot Be Found In the Dll”. ANYONE PLEASE 50 BUCKS IS ALOT TO WASTE ON SOMTHING THAT DOESNT WORK.

    Win XP SP2
    AMD Dual Core 2.7
    ATI Radeon 2900 FX Pro 256mb
    2 Gyg Ram

    WTH is with this game?

    I need to resolve my problem with DX10, when i run the game it starts with the DX9 engine, but i tryied to change the engine in the options game, but the DX10 does not appear. And then i tryied to run manually the DX10 exe for Hellgate but appear an error message:

    I just fixed this issue for my kid. He’s running VISTA with an NVIDA card. I turned his anti-aliasing mode to “off” per the instructions for a similar problem at:

  114. hood — January 2, 2008 @ 11:56 am

    With regards to issue #66. I have been having the same problem since installing the game, nothing seems to make it go away. Also my graphics preferences will not save, and I’m unable to skip the EA logo screen after the first viewing. Basically the game thinks it’s being run for the first time, every time. I’ve seen this issue come up in several other posts so I know I’m not the only one. Does anyone have a solution?

  115. Johann7 — January 4, 2008 @ 12:26 pm

    NOTE: Hellgate: London apparently requires its own Environment Variable pointing to the install directory. If you are having problems launching the game, open the System Properties control panel, go to the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables, and make sure that under “System Variables” there is an entry called “HellgateEnv” with a Value of whatever the install directory is (default: “C:\Program Files\Flagship Studios\Hellgate London\”)

    Also, my responses are in reverse-post-order for my convenience (looking backwards to avoid solved problems). Check for your handle/post number to find a response. I am not a coder nor an expert on Windows, so these are only suggestions.

    @hood (#114) - as far as I can tell, HL stores it’s settings in it’s datapak files (along with everything else) in an encrypted/compressed format that is not user-readable without some tool (unknown to me). If I am worng in this, someone please correct me, but I have been unable to find any registry keys that store something besides the game path, and the cfg files simple list the executables, dll’s, and packed files within the .dat files. I would suggest making the entire HL folder NOT read-only (right-click on the HL folder, select Properties, unckeck the Read-Only box, and click OK - make sure you select “Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files” in the Confirm Attribute Changes dialogue box that pops up and hit OK). If anyone has found any user-readable config files, please post (you should make those NOT read-only as well).

    @fernando (#112) - I’m assuming that you have a DX 10 compatable video card (GeForce 8000 series or Radeon HD series) and can run other games in DX 10. HL makes use of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to detect hardware (see posts #10 and #18). Run dxdiag (Start>Run then type “dxdiag”) to verify that your system considers itself DX 10 compatible, make sure WMI is active (you’ll need to check that the services relating to WMI are active - I can’t remember where the Vista tool to do this is, check Google), and update your video card drivers (though it sounds like you should stick with the Catalyst 7.8 drivers for now if you have an ATI/AMD video card).

    @Dan (#111) - It sounds like HL can’t find the kernel32.dll system file (located in the system32 directory of your Windows directory). Make sure that 1) this file exists and 2) the Environment Variable “Path” contains the entries “%SystemRoot%” and “%SystemRoot%\system32″ (see the NOTE at the top of my post - the value field for “Path” is a semi-colon separated list; if either of the entries is missing, add a semi-colon at the end of the list and add the appropriate entry).

    @Devin (#110) - HL is either failing to read from a data file or failing to start the sound or video rendering engine. Make sure your video and sound drivers are up-to-date. If the problem persists, try re-installing. If the problem persists, there may be a software conflict with the game engine (anti-virus and drive emulation programs like Daemon Tools are common sources of conflicts). Quit all non-essential programs and re-launch HL. You can check what processes your machine is launching at startup by running (Start>Run) “msconfig” and clicking the Startup tab, though you probably shouldn’t change any of the settings unless you know what you’re doing.

    @Soviet (#109) - Did you try re-installing? If it’s a problem with a HL dll, that might fix it. Otherwise, see my response to #111, part 2.

    @Anonymous (#108) - If you have a legitimate copy of the game, disable any anti-copy-protection software (Daemon Tools, YASU, SafeDiscHider, etc.), and make sure the game disc is in the same drive you installed from. If you have a stolen copy of the game, then that’s why it’s failing to authenticate :-P

    @apocdude (#107) - See my response to #112 concerning WMI.

    @Belias (#103) - Make sure you have a supported video card (Radeon 9000 or better, or GeForce 6200 or better). If so, see my response to #110.

    More later.

    Crizz(#116) here again made a slight mistake on problem reading..

    My problem isn’t exactly the same as #7. It doesn’t give me an error message, it just crashes, and windows insists I close the application.

    Screens are running Dualview, so that’s not the issue.
    I have reinstatlled mutliple times to no avail..

    Also runs in Single Player DX9 Mode at Maximum without any strain, as soon as I load the DX10 executable, it crashes, and sticks up a nice error box which has the title

    ‘Windows - No Disk’
    Error is as follows:
    “Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0×7583023C 0×8545C9DC 0×7583023C 0×7583023C”
    3 options “Cancel” “Try Again” “Continue” each does as much as the last; Nothing.

  118. Vertigo101 — January 9, 2008 @ 8:33 am

    I’m having an issue not being able to play the game.
    I can get into the game but the game skips and stutters and freezes constantly then blacks out saying no signal detected. then an error pops up saying Graphics card stopped responding and has recovered. the game reloads with 2 swords on the loading screen then does it again. then i get nvdlm.exe or something crashed. the game closes off but the whole PC is frozen. then the screen goes black and says graphics card stopped responding yet again then i blue screen and reboot.

    I’m using latest Nvidia Geforce 8800gtx 768 mb drivers on windows vista home premium with 2.4ghz Quad processor on msi 975x platinum titanium motherboard with sound blaster audigy 24bit advanced hd plenty of fans to keep the computer cool
    I’m at like 2048 mb of DDR2 ballistics ram. not sure why I’m even getting this error on vista home premium. only game on vista I cant play.

    Please help me Ive tried looking around and this is the only site Ive come across that might be able to help me

    also note Ive tryed lowest detail settings resolution & direct x 9 . still the same issue.

  120. natozz — January 11, 2008 @ 12:44 pm

    same problem as 119. I tried the game in windowed mode and my monitor gfx card stopped not-responding, but the game would still go black and only sound be working.

    i have latest drivers for everything and my specs:

    2.4ghz core 2 duo
    8800gts 320mb
    3gig ddr2 corsair
    vista ult
    550w psu

    I have a tiny feeling this might be something to do with power but, it only happened to the game in windowed mode so not sure.

    Hellgate London worked fine on my PC except for the message “CPU Speed 0MHz detected”… After reinstalling both windows and the game due to a registry error, windows is fine, but hellgate simply shows a blank screen after the splash screen and stops… It doesn’t hang, but doesn’t proceed also… I’ve updated my drivers etc and every other game runs fine… Reinstalling hellgate doesn’t work… Please help!!!

    Tried HGL multi-player server last Friday night 11th Jan 08, got “There’s a problem with your copy of Hellgate London”, windows tries to find the cause, fails, so you bomb out! Tried all w/e to connect, finally worked for no reason on Monday night - I can only assume the server was down for maintenance over that w/e. I’ve heard that the 0.6 patch for single-users cause massive problems for multi-users, but I’m upset that Flagship Studios did not appologize for th eoutage, and have not to date replied to my request for information on what happened (hence this post).

  125. ShadowJack — January 17, 2008 @ 10:50 pm

    HGL - Crossed Swords & Shields with graphics card error, game still playing in background (Vista x32, Nvidia 8800GTX, DX10, 2GB fast DDR3 RAM).
    Researched the web and found a HGL memory leak problem causes this - if you access your examine (in Inventory) too often, then it uses up all your GPU memory. There’s a fix in 0.7 to deal with this - still waiting for this patch to come out.
    Meanwhle, I switched to Dx9 - same problem, set back to DX10, turned anti-aliasing down one setting from very high to high, uses less memory, then restricted use of examine in game - not had the error since.
    Hope it helps you guys?

  126. Pipide4 — January 20, 2008 @ 10:56 am

    To #19 and #96. I had the same problem just now.
    It started as an in game bug that prevented me from reading my party members chat, after i restarted the game, it only displayed the chat scroll bar.
    It seems to be a problem with the multiplayer .exe becoming corrupt. I replaced the updated .exe with the original (it is on the Hellgate DVD) and started the game. It updated again, but it sure beats a reinstall.

  127. Entharion — January 20, 2008 @ 10:18 pm

    When I install a fresh copy of my retail Hellgate london, (I’ve installed and updated the fixes and patches known) it starts up fine. I go online with it, it starts downloading all kinds of stuff(why this couldn’t be included in the patch I dont know) and then it restarts, giving me an error after the splash screen saying it’s crashed.. and wont start up any way. I’ve had this before, so I deleted the settings.xml and launcher.ini. that used to work. but it doesnt’anymore…

    thanx

  129. ShadowJack — January 21, 2008 @ 5:18 pm

    European Server Hosts at it again - this w/e 19/20 Jan 08, started HGL as usual, got the same error as last w/e Post #124 “There’s a problem with your copy of Hellgate London”.
    I suppose if I try it tonight it will be working.

    Does anyone know if they were updatng the server this w/e as well. Not being able to play over the w/e is killing my game (the 2 days I’ve got time off to game all day and I can’t get on)? If this continues, then I’ll bin HGL and spend all my time on COD4MW!

  130. ShadowJack — January 21, 2008 @ 10:00 pm

    Ok Guys,
    Ref #129 above.
    Finally tracked down the link I needed (on this website) HGL Stonehenge going live today 21-Jan-2008, so that’s why the server was down the whole w/e, they were loading up Patch 0.7!! Could have given more notice, or even a message from the server this was happening - making people think their pc is at fault (and a lot of people would do a rull de/reinstall - all in vain) is not funny.

  131. SahdowJack — January 22, 2008 @ 10:09 pm

    HGL still not working - so deinstalled completely, removed directories, used CC cleaner, checked registry for lost links etc. Reinstalled game from disk, it loaded fine and downloaded updates - working great now.
    I got HGL very early on, so it’s been patched many times since (one must have corrupted something), so a clean install fixed it (for now).
    Note, you can ignore the Register/Account screen, just watch the progress of the green bar installing the game at the bottom. Note, you’re already registered, so, you cannot enter the same account name, nor use the cd-key to register another name. Register on another server (US instead of EU) if you want a new account.

    I have installed hellgate london, and everything works fine.

    Today when the patch came out, it won’t install. I get an Error: Cannot find Hellgate: London.

    I did copy the file from another computer because I was having problems installing (No CD-Drive, gave it to a friend, he installed and sent it to me), I’m guessing I put it in the wrong folder or something, or am missing a file.

    Help is much appreciated.

  133. Bernard — January 23, 2008 @ 8:47 pm

    Downloaded Patch 1.0 Stonehenge Multi-Player, 45 min to download, seconds to install, with no problems. Played 3hrs solid, super fast, no server issues and most (99%) the little annoying bugs are gone - well done Flagship Studios (for a change).
    They held back release to fix 2 major bugs in the patch (could have been the cause of the server access issues experienced earlier)! Now that’s the way to go - release stuff when Quality Control & Beta Testers certify it works!!!
    Back to being a fun game again - thanks to the development team.

  136. Entharion — January 25, 2008 @ 5:52 pm

    Patch 1.0 installed.. and everything starts up just fine :) no more weird startup bugs.. now and then I have some weird hangups and crashes though, but that’s after 1.5 hours of play or something. windows gives me a message that the application is unstable and should be closed, if I dont it just freezes after a minute or so.

  137. annoyed — January 26, 2008 @ 3:26 am

    @132
    I’m having the exact same problem (the patch “can’t find Hellgate London”) I’m almost positive all we need to do is put the proper install path in the right place in the registry, but I don’t know where that would be.

    Would someone with a properly installed version of Hellgate look in their registry (run regedit), search for “Flagship Studios” and find where in the registry it records the install path?

  138. Armeneus — January 26, 2008 @ 4:46 am

    Hellgate London worked perfectly for a while, and I loved it, then suddenly it crashed upon startup. I have tried system restore and a complete reinstall of the game with no luck.

    Apparently ntdll.dll is the culprit, but I do not know how to fix the issue.

    The problem only occurs with the dx9 version of the multiplayer. DX10M, DX9S and DX10S work perfectly. Unfortunately my card is a bit too weak to run it in DX10 without serious framerate drops. (Nvidia GeForce 8600 something)

    The crash log is as follows every single time.

  146. KneoK — February 4, 2008 @ 10:34 pm

    Last week I could play just fine, but after installing a new harddrive an fresh copy of Vista I couldnt get the multiplayer to run. Got the message saying “The procedure could not be located in the dll”. Turned out that I left a copy of the old install on my second harddrive. When I reinstalled the game to the same directory it probably didnt overwrite the updated .exe files so when I tried patching I got the message that both single- and multiplayer were already updated resulting in updated .exes trying to call procedures in outdated .dll files because the patches didnt update any files.

    Uninstalled leaving my settings and saves, removed the remaining gamedir which still contained both SP_x86 and MP_x86 maps and updated .exe files, reinstalled, applied patches (0.6 single, 1.0 multi), works like a charm.

  147. Aisha — February 6, 2008 @ 11:58 am

    When I load Hellgate london using cd/dvd emulation software, it tells me the wrong disk is inserted.

    This seems to be related to the latest mp patch, as the game never did this before this patch.

  148. Benji — February 8, 2008 @ 5:20 am

    Ok, Problem, i played the demo fine *with the settings turned down abit* and loved it, so got the full retail, Just installed it and started it up to check it was working and got to the Char selection screen. Decided to lower the graphics settings to make it more, Playable, Lowered them to “Medium” n Restarted the game, BUT! Now when i load it, it loads a black screen, and thats all, if i click the mouse it comes up with “Uploading Error Report to server” I close that and it comes up with the ” Hellgate has stopped responding” and then it closes… heres the info about the crash -

    Regarding the unrecoverable error (Problem 7), I just closed the program Mudbox and then tried opening the game again and was able to run it. I’m guessing some programs conflict with running the game.

  152. ryudrako — February 9, 2008 @ 12:45 am

    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME I LOVE THIS GAME

  153. Cutedog — February 10, 2008 @ 9:36 am

    Hi.. would appreciate anyone who can help me solve this problem with the game Hellgate.

    After installing Hellgate on my system and after updating the files after logging into the server, the game after restart cannot load at all!

    I have un/re-install several times but to no avail.

    My system is a Quad Core, with 2 GB on board, and a harddisk running on RAID 0.

    I was suspecting it could be problem with the RAID 0 setup. Was wondering if it could be the Windows Vista inability to support it. So i installed another game, Dawn of War. It loaded and played beautifully.

    Thanks for your time reading and hope can get some answer here. ;p

    ps. I have tried the above solution by changing to Windows XP compatibility. It does not work.

  154. G — February 21, 2008 @ 10:30 am

    When i exit the game and enter it again i lose most of my progress! Since there is no save game what should i do?

    i have 2gb ram, intel core duo 2.3 ghz and ati radeon 2600 xt

  159. ShadowJack — February 28, 2008 @ 11:32 pm

    #154 - Before the latest patch, HGL crashed all the time. For me I found that I kept all items and scores, but restarted at the last underground station. In multi item quests like “Get X of Y things”, it will show up as 0 of Y etc. but once you kill/find/whatever you need to do to get another item, then the inventory will show all the previous ones obtained as well. Since Stonehenge patch 1.0, I’ve had no crashes yet!

    HGL playing up again! Went back to game after a few weeks absence and I’m having graphics card crashes, giving the crossed swords and error message. Eventually, the GPU recovers and the game works as normal - except the graphics remain as two crossed swords. Have to Esc and exit, then restart to get it to work again. Dropped DX10 to DX9, lowered AA rate, downloaded all latest drivers, but nothing seems to work. I got a lot of maps loading up at the start - has anything changed recently?

  164. Pilm' — March 11, 2008 @ 11:50 pm

    Hello, i’ve got quite a ****** problem: as I try to start the setup (I bought my game today) it says that windows couldn’t file D:\Flagship\[...]\Launcher.exe (on the DVD)…

    What to do :(

  165. ShadowJack — March 12, 2008 @ 8:04 pm

    Ref#163 above. Finally tracked the problem to nVidia and Vista incompatability issues with latest Hellgate London updates. When I started HGL last time, I got a lot of DX10 and DX9 updates downloaded, then got the graphics problem.
    I have a Geforce 8800GTX and Vista Ulimate x32 - nVidia website has the latest official driver for my GPU - which is a bit buggy, but drop HGL Options to DX9 and AA to high (instead of very high) and this should work. The latest driver (supposed to fix all Vista issues) is in Beta, so not supported. I’d recommend using this when its released officially. Meantime, HGL plays great again 3-4hrs play and no crashes! Graphics does stutter now and then, but recovers immediately - without loss of video (next nVidia release should fix this).
    Have to question Flagship Studio policy of releasing DX9 & DX10 updates that are incompatable with the current nVidia and Vista drivers being used by the majority of people out there. If you still have problems after doing the above, then drop your AA further until it does work, or use the Beta driver!

    I’ve reached level 50 with my evoker. Now, my experience bar is stucked (at 35.851.804), it doesn’t increase even playing hard for 5 hours. What can I do? This is really frustrating :(

  167. Jopseh — March 23, 2008 @ 7:18 am

    @ 166. The max level is 50

    When the game starts up the first videos come up (the ones for nvidia and other) then it stops at what appears to be the screen right before the menu screen pops up, and it just stays there. The ring is moving in the middle and it’s not frozen.

  168. Time2die — March 24, 2008 @ 2:24 am

    Everytime im trying to start HGL i get this Errormessage:

    “Fatal Error
    The application was unable to load initial data and must close.”

    I reinstalled the game. Installed the Patches and Drivers 4 my Hardware but i’m still getting this Message.

    Pls. help me.

    Thanks

  169. Alucard 119 — March 24, 2008 @ 11:06 pm

    What do u know,
    sometime the game must require a appropiate thing to do,

    Have u updated your vista files?
    Have u install the latest Dirext X redist ,(August 2007 file)?
    Have u have activated automatically the Window Defender in Vista (check it)?
    Have u check why HGL crashing in VISTA in Problem Report and Solution? (u can easyly detect what cause the problem if u using Window Vista Ultimate)
    Have u checking BIOS configuration?
    Have u updated all the driver?
    Have u checked your type of vista or xp is appropiate with the processor? (Windows Vista 64/ Xp 64 is for Intel Core 2 Duo/AMD 64 or x64 computer only dummass! Use W Vista/ xp 32 if u using normal processor such core duo, p4, antlon! or x86 machine)

    Dont be suprise if this machine can play hellgate london without any lag. He3

    I currently play HGL in my laptop in:

    I’m getting this very painful message about almost between main stations, and it reads, word for word…”UNREOCVERABLE ERROR” Memory has beenm exhausted. This application will close now. AND IT DOES, there is no way to predict when it will happen and since you can’t really save the game, you’re screwed. I need help. I have a new Gateway FX Vista and have never had more headaches in my life. Please if you can help me at all kudos and gracious love directed toward all. I know that this mega machine is supposed to be good for something, but, maybe I jumped on the train too soon.
    Your opinions are gratefully noted. Thx.

    I want to update the Single Player 0.6 patch. But the game cannot be found when running the patch. I have installed the game on a different Harddrive and not on the C:\ drive (or partion of C drive). How can I redirect the patch to locate the game on my other HDD?

  172. Clem — April 5, 2008 @ 5:50 pm

    When I start the game, after the image of two crossed sword,
    a black screen with a bar on the left appears, and it is impossible to go further then.
    Thank you for your help

  173. kent — April 11, 2008 @ 6:31 am

    The game keeps freezing every time i enter Covent Garden Market.
    The screen goes black, then the screen with a shield and two swords come.
    I still hear the sound of the game, but can see anything.
    Any solution to this?

  174. Corky10 — April 13, 2008 @ 2:49 pm

    Hey. I seem to be suffering a problem that involves and entry point not being found.

    I attempt to enter single player or multiplayer, and all I get is a little box with a white X saying”Hellgate_sp_dx9_x86.exe - Entry Point Not Found

    the procedure entry point GetProcessHandleCount could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.

    What the hey? I ask a friend who has the game and said that he had the same problem, and referred me to using Google and I used google which brought me here, so… Help me out here.

  175. ShadowJack — April 16, 2008 @ 10:09 pm

    Re #173 Kent
    Please read #165, either update your graphics driver or drop it down to where it works (DX10 to DX 9, reduce AA) etc.

    im also not able to log onto my account, i try to do “lost password?” and send to my email, but it says it cant find my email etc.

    For those with the ‘Missing String’ error, this means a gap in the file structure of the patch. i only had this problem when i started up multiplater..First download Stonehenge Chronicles patch from the site and install…Then start up multiplater to continue the further updates..this fixed me :P

    Perhaps someone here can give me a clue as to what to do?

    TIA

    Hello,

    I have purchased this game and it will NOT run no matter what I try. I see on your forums that you have many many people with this same problem and error and it has not been addressed for over one year! Below is the info on the error. Please tell me what I can do to fix this or give me the address to send this game back to you.

    Im running windows vista ultimate 64 bit it worked fine on dx9 but when i run hellgate london on dx10 i get the splash screen then i get the black screen of death and i have to reset my pc.

    Donno if its a help but this works for me. Go into the hellgate folder (maximize the window otherwise it wont work) and go into the single player folder and select the dx10 launcher, it will launch and you will be able to hear it playing in the background,wait a couple of seconds then just left click on it in your task bar and it runs fine

  188. ShadowJack — May 26, 2008 @ 6:26 pm

    Finally reached the end of HellGate London, by closing the Hellgate after defeating the 5 huge boss demons & one gigantic demon (who opened the HG in the 1st place).
    I’m now in Nightmare Mode right back at the beginning (Holburn station).
    Like many of you I’ve had problems with a high spec pc and this game - had to totally deinstall and reinstall to fix earlier patch issues (I had one of the early copies). Had to downloaded latest nVidea patches (Vista fix and driver for 8800GTX). Dropped Dx10 to DX9 and lowered my AA rate to make it all work.
    So, it worked for me, got all the way to the end and now a Level 33 Marksman starting it all again (this time, with all my weapons & armour).
    Was it worth the hassle - YES, it’s been/is a fun game (a bit buggy, but the developers have sorted most of the major bugs).
    I have seen major changes in the reliability of this game - for the better, give the developers a chance and send in your feedback. Apparently, they do listen! Have fun.

  189. BubbaDan — May 26, 2008 @ 11:18 pm

    Game installs but will NOT upgrade. I’ve tried the upgrade path from the game, their website and other venues (gamershell etc) and the game just does the same thing. error error error.
    I don’t get beyond the single player/multiplayer choices screen.

    I’ve done everything I can think of short of a “format C”.

    Waste of money???????

  190. ShadowJack — May 27, 2008 @ 4:27 pm

    Ref 189 BubbaDan.
    You don’t give your operating system or pc specs!
    If I assume you have Vista x32, then ensure the program runs under admin rights - this is usually the case with Vista not running games properly! Otherwise, ensure you’ve the latest graphics drivers for your GPU and OPS (Vista, XP…), then in HGL reduce the graphics options until it works - DX9, lower the AA rate etc.
    Otherwise, jump onto the ‘official’ HGL website and see if you can’t download the latest patches manually - HGL is on 1.3 now, and an earlier patch (1.0 or 1.1) introduced a new update loader - so, it may be this causing your update problem with a full install from DVD.
    Once you get over this hurdle you’ll find the game will flag you with ‘official’ patch updates when they’re ready and starting the game will provide updates to the maps etc.
    I personally ignore the single-player updates (some websites have noted that they can cause problems to your multi-player game). As this will be the mode you’ll mostly play in - then, you could treat the single player as a tutorial only.

  191. BubbaDan — May 28, 2008 @ 8:30 am

    Thanks for the feedback. I’m running xp pro, have a dual core amd running @ 2.61, 2 gigs of corsair xms pc 3200 (800 mghz) a raid 0 with 16mb cache and an ATI 1900 pro.

    Anyway, the game installs and will NOT launch no matter how or where I get the updates or it I run without updates. I’ve just returned from a “format c” and will let you know what happens now. (it’s been nearly 3 years and I wanted to clean the old girl up anyway).

    Wish me luck?
    BubbaDan

  192. ShadowJack — May 28, 2008 @ 4:25 pm

    Re 191 - BubbaDan.

    I’ve checked with a few people who installed HGL recently (as I’ve said I bought it at the start, so gone through the evovled update process) - most have said they had problems with the new update installing package introduced in v1.0.

    All got an error similar to yours, but also see a link (to a website for the manual download of the new update loader) in the error message itself!

    If you don’t see this message and/or link, then go to the official HGL site and search for it.

    Everyone who manually downloaded the 1.0 patch were able to run HGL and update to 1.3 without any issues.

    If you’re unable to see/find this link, then let me know and I’ll find out where it’s located & post it up for you.

  193. BubbaDan — May 28, 2008 @ 6:49 pm

    Ok, I appreciate your help. I’ve installed the game again after my format and reinstall of my o.s. I have the latest drivers for everything and tried to run the game “without” any updates.
    Got the error. When I attempt to run the patch from anywhere (their site, the game interface, my computer) I get the error.
    I’ll follow your instructions tonight after work and let you know. I’ve installed the game on two other computers with no problems so I know it’s system specific.

  194. ShadowJack — May 28, 2008 @ 10:05 pm

    http://www.hellgatelondon.com/patches

    Use USA or EU server to download v1.0 (tagged as Stonehenge) - the blurb says this is required to enable on-line playing, then it will auto load all other patches automatically…..

    Note: You should be able to play the single player game straight away, but at patch 0.1 (or somesuch) and consequently it will be full of bugs - once you get multi-player v1.0 installed, the latest download launcher should fire off the prompts for the single-player updates as well. As mentioned prev. you can ignore the single-player updates if you’re into mutli-play only (which 99.99% of us are).

    Let me/us know if it works.

  195. BubbaDan — May 29, 2008 @ 8:03 am

    Okay, Let’s recap.
    I have formatted C. I reinstalled the game and hit “play”
    Crashed with this error:
    hellgate_sp_dx9_x86.exe AppVer: 1.10.180.3416 ModName: helgate_sp_dx9_x86.exe
    ModVer 1.10.180.3416 Offset: 003ec017

    The above is the error I get every time I try to run the game.
    I am unable to run any patch: be it from the game launcher console, their website or outside sources because every time I try to run ANY patch I get this error:

    AppName: patchtool.exe AppVer 1.0.42.4101 ModName: patchtool.exe ModVer: 1.0.42.4101 Offset: 00019ae4

    Every time. I’ve installed another DVD drive, uninstalled the game and wiped every entry in the registry running regedit.

    I then made another fresh install and have the same results.
    I’ve installed the game on two other computers and it plays and updates without any trouble. It is specific to my system and I’m at a loss as to what it is. I’m gonna start messing with cpu setups, memory etc. This is driving me friggen crazy!!!!!!

    Oh, the detailed info is:

  196. ShadowJack — May 29, 2008 @ 6:37 pm

    The main source of help would be the developers themselves (Flagshhip Studios) and the ‘official’ websites - I assume you’ve tried these for help? Have you logged the error with them as well - there should be HGL customer support available (to give feedback and help you solve this), have a look in your jewel case for their phone number and/or website - and terms and conditions of the help they should provide!.

    The only link I could find with hellgate_sp_dx9_x86.exe error was at http://www.gamerbeef.com/downloads-cat-4.html
    Something about No CD-Crack - but they have a replacement for the program in their Archives. I have not accessed the site, so cannot verify what it does or if it will help (just this is the only search result returned which might pioint to the cause of the problem).

    Sorry I can’t help further (too technical for me) - good luck and I hope you get it working (post up the answer if you do Ok).

  197. Bloodmass — May 30, 2008 @ 5:07 am

    hey i installed the game and have directX10. i can get the game to start but when im playing on single player its laggy and want to know how i can speed up the game? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME?!?!?!?!?

  198. BubbaDan — May 30, 2008 @ 8:10 am

    Shadow Jack and anyone else that cares……….

    I fixed my problem. It was the way my cpu/motherboard/dual channel memory were all talking to each other. (non-technical explanation)

    I disabled my dual channel and she works just fine. Slows the memory but what the hell right?

    Thanks shadow,

    BubbaDan

  199. ShadowJack — May 30, 2008 @ 5:29 pm

    BubbaDan - you’re welcome, glad you found & fixed your techie problem (dual channel memory issue eh! 1st time I’ve heard of that).

    Re: 197 Bloodmass. Fistly, ensure you’ve all the latest patches for HGL. 2ndly ensure your Op System is at latest version, 3rdly patch up your Graphic driver (if using Vista, get the MS patch to allow your GPU to process the graphics and not Vista), then go to your GPU’s website and get the latest drivers (i.e. nVidia has a Vista compliant release out, was beta now released officially). etc.
    NB. If using X-Fi, then the latest Alchemy drivers are out as well (some games under Vista have a muted mic issue - Alchemy fixes that problem) - only affects in-game chat - TeamSpeak, X-Fire etc.

    Finally, go to options, drop it back down to DX9 (Dx10 will work, but slowly and with a highly increased risk of crashing)! Then, lower AA rate to where it works. This should stop most GPU errors and stop you getting the shield & crossed swords (while the game is running in the background). If you do get a crash & have to kill the process or reboot - then, clean out your tmp dir. Don’t worry, your stats are safe and you’ll stil have everything up to the point you exited. You’ll restart back at the last station you were in with your quest list intact. You’ll have to navigate your way back to your prev location, and if doing a collection quest (and had a few before crashing) you may get 0 items collected displayed - don’t worry, as soon as you get one more it will update correctly.

    Getting it working is the primary issue - fine tuning the speed is just housekeeping. Emjoy the game.

    When you get to the multi-player version (which is a lot better), and you need help in the earlier levels, then feel free to PM me if you see me on-line. Or like me, you don’t mind dying many times as you learn what works best and what gets you killed quickly - LOL.

    Prob. #7 So I experianced HGL having a stupid problem of saying corrupt data and stuff after I deleted some of my programs. Well I later found out after downloading and uninstalling the game 4 times that it has to deal with the stupid video sizing. On my laptop I can control it and well i set it down another notch and the game started right up. How freakin stupid is that. Well now you know so just set your video settings to 1024×768.

    When ever I start a SP game, and get to the character creation screen I can only select the Blademaster, if I try one of the others my computer reboots without warning. If I then select the Blademaster and starts a game, it reboots after about 3 seconds of gameplay.
    I installed the patch 1.2 and now it only shows the character creation screen for like half a second, and then computer reboots.
    Im downloading the latest graphic drivers now to see if that helps.
    If anyone have any ideas, please post em.

    AMD Athlon 2800+

  206. Random_Reboots — July 1, 2008 @ 6:42 am

    Re: Random Crashing and Rebooting

    I am also trying to prevent the game from randomly crashing my computer. My situation sounds similar to 205, 182, and 61. I have noticed that at character creation screen, if I try to let the summoner character complete its action, then my computer crashes when the character brings his/her (both male and female cause the crash) hand down with a ball of light in it. My computer can load the rest of them (including the evoker) just fine (provided I go left instead of right to browse the character classes).

    I still suspect that sound is the issue/source.

    Current specs:
    AMD Athlon 2800 (2.08 gHz) processor
    Windows XP Pro
    2 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon X1600/X1650 series (with most recent driver from website)
    SB Live! (with most recent driver from website)
    DirectX 9.0c
    5.1 surround sound speakers. Have tried various levels of the hardware accelleration with them.

    Please let me know when you find a fix for this!

  209. Kala — July 20, 2008 @ 9:00 am

    Start up game (MP) -> goes through loading process, then slows down immensely (I figure because of the next problem). Character select glitches in with white boxes everywhere, shown character is usually messed up, and there are object sprites all over the actual character selection menu. Computer slows a lot, and task manager shows 500K + processing to HGL (sounds almost like memory leak problem coming out). Yes, video card drivers are updated, so don’t ask me.

    Rig:
    Windows XP Sp2
    Nvidia 8800 GTX
    AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual
    3.15 GHz : 2. GB Ram
    Core proc 6000+

    Thinking possibly a memory leak with the dual-core processor (because of the infamous 64×2 problems), but I’ve set the affinity to one processor via task-manager, and still no good.

    That win32 virut IS a real virus.
    I downloaded the multiplayer patch using the downloader that was provided to patch the game, and my computer pretty much fried itself.
    I’m having problems such as the computer shutting off without my permission, bluescreens of death…
    Don’t buy the game. i don’t know how or when but a worm or virus has infiltrated flagship’s shit.
    My computer was working PERFECTLY fine until I downloaded this patch and started applying it to my computer.
    never again, am I buying games that are made or have anything to do with flagship studios.

    MAD Athlon X2. ATI X850. 2GB 667. XP SP2. blah blah blah…

    All my drivers are updated and none of my other games are affected by this. I’ve read the forums at FSS and tried a few things they suggest but “no joy”.

    Baseline installed game was running fine. No graphics problems and I was fairly impressed despite criticisms others have had. I decided to try the MP and had to do the updates. Decided to download both the MP and SP at the same time. Installed MP version just fine. Install on the SP seemed to go ok, but now when I go back into the game the loader screens look ok, but 15 seconds into actual gameplay and I get screen tearing and pixelation to a point where you can’t even see the HUD any more.

    I’ve made changes to the video settings including color bit depth, resolution, v- and h-sync, refresh rate, antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, etc…

    I’m at the point where I may end up reloading which makes the Baby Jesus want to cry…

    To fix the Kernel32/d3d10.dll problem, try browsing the game disk to the directx folder. In that folder is a setup.exe
    Run the setup again and see if that fixes it.
    I assume you are running direct X 10?

    conflict with emulation software detected

  225. BubbaDan — October 28, 2008 @ 5:29 am

    HI!
    This is easy! Just disable your Daemon tools or whatever emulation software you have running.
    If you don’t have an icon on your taskbar (near your clock) then you may have to open your task manager (hit control-alt-delete and hold all down) and disable it. Best to disable it from within the program though.

    this has happend 3 times so im positive it was because of hellgate
    is there anyway 2 fix this

    Hey all. I was having the CPU detected at 0.0mhz problem. This keeps the game from allowing you to set the highest graphics options and may even have performance caps. I finally found a hint to where the problem stemmed from after googling for a week. I guess Hellgate looks to WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to retrieve your specs. Try opening WMI to see if its functioning properly. I had to rebuild my WMI files via a process I, unfortunately, do not have a link to. If you Google WMI and repairing WMI, you should be able to find info to fix the issue. I hope there wasn’t a fix for this posted already. Have fun all =)

    I’ve got a bug… Or i think ive got bug. I mean : Critical hit, does it realy exist?

    Im playing Marksman, the snipe specialist. Nah i’ve got 15% chance to get a critical hit and 300% critical dmg on snipe but… I’ve never seen to deal so huge dmg by one shot ? it should be like x3 or x4 dmg right?

  242. Vong — July 13, 2009 @ 9:00 am

    Somewhere at the end of the installation.. I get an error.. Error reading from file E:\Program Files\Flagship Studios\Hellgate London\Data\hellgate_bghigh000.dat. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

  243. MistahJ — August 9, 2009 @ 11:50 pm

    Erm.. I’m running on Windows 7 RC x64bit version… as far as I know even some lists diong a list a on W7 running games hellgate london was on the working list. Well it doesn’t work for me.

    The error sais “This program or feature “blablabla\Hellgate_sp_dx9_x64″ (I also tried it with dx10 exe.) cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. (erm wait what.. I am running on 64-bit, grom a 64-bit exe.. I also tried running it on vista 32-bit. no luck) Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit windows compatible version is available.”

    Now.. I shouldn’t need to contact the software vendor as this is the 64-bit compatible version of the game.. so I’m out of ideas. The specs on my comp should be fine.. 4gb ram, dualcore with 2,6ghz core each and and nvidia 8800 gts afaik.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I have same problem of Mistahj.
    I have installed Windows 7 x64 on my Dell Vostro 1700

    Hellgate_sp_dx10_x64 work, but I have too low fps (about 15)

    In the past, i find same problem under Vista 32, but solution is easy: make dx9 engine and game work with good fps.

    Now, under windows 7 x64, when I start Hellgate_sp_dx9_x64, the game try to start, but dont go over a “black screen”….

    I have try to execute with admin permission and vista compatibility…i try to install dx9c (needed for others game like Heroes V) but the problems continue…

    Some1 habe solution? Is possible to use dx9 engine under Win7 x64?

    Tnx for answer!!
