Official Mscorlib.dll thread

[Ruri_Ruri]

Since C4 I can't play L2 :(

It started giving me the infamous mscorlib.dll error (998) ando there's no way to change it.
I tried everything possible with the settings, changing resolution, shader, textures, everything.
It keeps crashing and informing me of a failure in loading mscorlib.dll (Win32 error: 998).

Now there's more thant a reason why I need the latest ATI driver AND the Control Center, reasons it would be long and unneccessary to explain here.

What I can't swallow is the fact that I played L2 for a year without any hassle, and I learned the lesson that says "always download the latest video driver for your video card", and now I am stranded here with all my friends playing and me completely unable to enter the game.

And the only workaround is installing an older driver?
Sorry, I can't. :(

I need (and I am sure lots more are in the same situation I am) a fix for this, I think it would be fair t have a game running with the latest driver available for our videocard. Especially when we are suggested to upgrade those drivers as soon as they are available.

Please someone read this and give us some answers, some workaround, some fix that doesn't revolve only around: "downgrade to an older driver".
What if I say "upgrade your client to an higher level of stability and compatibility?".

I don't want to sound bitter but I am so sad, 3 days into C4 and I am unable to login. And I am sure you all know I am paying money for this :(

Please, do something :(

P.S: I could try to work for a brief short time with the Ati Control Panel instead of the Ati Control Center, but looks to me that the latest 6.2 driver doesn't have an option for Control Panel, only Control Center, as if you install the first part of the multipart download you get Driver Only but without Control Panel at all.

What version do you have installed 6.2? :confused:

I'm sure i can help you in this area, but you never told me what version your running.

[Ruri_Ruri]

ooh sorry, you are right!

This is the name of the last driver I installed (should be meaningful) hoping it coud solve the same issue I was having with 6.1:

6-2_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_30152

Let me know if you need a dxfiag ourput or anything.

Thankjs for your interest and for your time!

What do you have installed for .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0?

[Ruri_Ruri]

I have no idea.
I guess 1.1, if I remember correctly. Actually I have no idea about a 2.0. I'll go look immediately.

How to check my .net version?

The best way is to just look in your add/remove program list.

[Ruri_Ruri]

Yes it's 1.1 .Net, as downloaded from the Microsoft page pointed out in the ATI driver page.
I have hotfix too.

I know this isn't the fix you wanted to hear, but if you remove your current 6.2 Catalyst Control Center driver and install just a plan drive you will be able to play for the time being.

Look for the low speed download section and install the plan driver only.

[Ruri_Ruri]

Sigh splatter :(
That's what i was complaining about :(
Thank you so much for help anyway.

Now, will we ever get an official fix for this?

I have been fighting this issue since the 5.10 CCC drivers.

I did find a work around fix for the 5.13 drivers that worked for me at least it was using only .NET 2.0. I reported the issue to support and they looked into it.

They said they couldn't reproduce the error with the current 6.1 drivers with .NET 1.1, at that time i was still using the 5.13 drivers. So i upgraded to 6.1 with no troubles. Then the next day i got the same error again, i checked ATI to see if they did any updates.

And wouldn't you know they came out with 6.2 drivers the same day, so i upgraded once again and the errors stopped.

So i don't know what to tell you other then to play with it. Maybe removing the NET 1.1 and installing 2.0 will fix your problem.

ati's drivers still require that .NET 1.1 be loaded..... even if you have .net 2.0.... .net 1.1 must still be loaded as well...

ATI is currently working on compiling the driver sets for 2.0.... but for now everything requires that .net 1.1 be installed..

I was able to run the ati ccc drivers with just 2.0 installed and everything worked fine with no issues.
