Starting yesterday, for no obvious reason, the HWRM launcher has started crashing instantly when I try to start it.

I have not taken any system updates (Win7). HWRM has not updated (I have the most recent version from August). I have not added any mods nor am running any mods at launch (I have been playing with the official balance mod but have not changed anything in the way I was using it from when it worked previously). I have not updated or changed any drivers. The issue does not resolve with a reboot and persists even after deleting local content for the game and re-downloading through Steam. The local game files pass verification through Steam.

Once in a while the launcher screen will appear momentarily before the crash occurs, although never long enough for me to interact with it.

I had played a half-dozen multiplayer games successfully the previous few days with zero issues so this was a pretty strange surprise.

EDIT: in my most recent attempt to launch, a new error window has popped up before crashing - this has happened a couple times now when trying to launch but is inconsistent:

Launcher.exe - Bad Image

C:\Windows\System32\MF.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or software vendor for support.

After every mission the game crashes as soon as victory flashes across the screen. So far this is true of both games remastered versions.

Hello,

I'm unable to lunch homeworld 2 classic. Each time I attempt to launch the game it goes to a black screen then closes back to the desktop. I checked the error log and getting "Homeworld2.exe caused an Access Violation in module atioglxx.dll". I've check online and attempted to replace the atioglxx.dll with an older version however this doesn't fix the problem.

I have a fresh install of windows 10 and have the latest drivers for my video card and not sure where to go from here.

This is a copy from my post on the Steam Community forum.

Hi all, so to start, I have tried disabling all the on-screen displayed on my system, that didn't fix the issue, from there I messed with the different texture setting on shadows, and detail. Tried the different sync options, which adaptive helped an OK amount. Ultimately I tried lowering the texture size limit from the max of 8192 to 4096, that so far has fixed the issue, I even tried turning on the OSD's again, and still no issue so far. My question is, is there any fix that would allow me to turn up the Size Limit back to 8192 without the flicker. I ask because the lower setting has now got my frame rate at sub 15 fps even with sync off.

I know there are patches in the works for this game, and they are going to take time due to the games unique engine set-up. Has anyone found a fix to this?

For a heads up my system is an Asus G551JW with an i7 4720HQ 8 GB of DDR3 and a GTX 960M with 2 GB Vram. So I should have no issues at the settings I am using which are near max.

Thanks all.

Update: Ok so after letting the game rest for a bit and relaunching it. Got it to play at a smooth frame rate, but flicker started again. So tried turning all the settings down to see which one is to blame by turning them up one at a time, well that was pointless, for it flickers even with everything turned down as low as it can go.

From what I can tell the flicker is related to my frame rate. which does not make sense. Anyone can help please, it would be greatly appreciated.

Update 2: I think I found the source of the issue, it has to do with the brightness and lighting of objects and backgrounds. In short. if am in a brightly colored map with lots of lighting, I will flicker badly, if I am in a dark map, as long as I avoid the light source, I don't flicker. In short the lighting and shadow rendering in this game has a major set of bugs that cause the engine to freak.

Update 3: Its the HDR options that are causing the glitches.

Update 4: After serious testing, HDR options are not the issue, they exposed the real issue though. The game seems to not like any 16:9 resolution over 1600 x 900. Once I set it to 900p, the issues were gone. It seems a render issue with resolutions is the culprit.

Update 5: The resolution adjustment was not a true fix, after a restart of the game, the flicker returned worse than ever.

So any help with fixing this odd issue?

I attempted to link my shift account to begin playing multiplayer, however my launcher crashed in the middle of the process. Upon closing it and restarting it, I found I could no longer start any of the games. I would select one, then the an outline of a window would appear in the middle of the screen, with the upper right only appearing. It also locks my mouse and the only way to close it is to alt-tab to do so. I tried deleting it and reinstalling it, however the issue still persists. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Since this game was released almost a year ago, I have been unable to launch it through Steam as the launcher always crashes. Launching Homeworld 1 by using a shortcut with "-dlccampaign HW1Campaign.big -campaign HomeworldClassic -moviepath DataHW1Campaign -mod compatibility.big" added works just fine, so the problem doesn't appear to be with the games themselves.

I could play the game using this shortcut, I suppose, but I'd rather not as Gearbox themselves have recommended against it. I've been holding out for a patch to fix this issue, but no such luck.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? It seems like I'm not the only one with this issue, but I haven't been able to find any working solutions online.

I have reinstalled the game several times on Steam and verified its file integrity. I have disabled all Anti-Virus software before launching it. I have updated my graphics drivers and even bought a new video card, but the problem persists. Since the game itself works fine, I'm not sure if it's really a graphics-related issue, but who knows?

I'm not having any issues with any other games... in fact, Gearbox's own Borderlands 2 and Deserts of Kharak both work just fine. I'm running Windows 7 and I have a GeForce GTX 960.

Please help. Huge Homeworld fan here.

So, I was already working on modifying a few aspects of the HW2 campaign for remastered and saw this post:

I've been using a modified HW2 campaign for quite some time, so I already forgot about some of the vanilla remastered issues that I have already solved in mine.

The issue is really caused by the transport ships disappearing and then hyperspacing in the parade formation causing an early trigger of the next even and canceling the launch of the Elite Gunship Corvettes, so loses out on the valuable perk that they should get by saving all six bishop cruisers.

Since this issue didn't happen in the classic, I compared the mission .lua file to the classic version and found that there were some additional lines in the remastered.

SobGroup_ParadeSobGroup( "Convoy_1", "PlayerMothership", 1)

This was found on "function Rule_Convoy1DockedAndLaunched()" and there is that rule for every transport ship. But this line is causing the transport ships to force launch from the MS, making them to hyperspace, maybe that is why this line was not included in the classic HW2.

So commenting out this lines cause the transport ships to move correctly from the MS latching point to its correct parade formation. This should give enough time for the Elite Gunships to launch from the mothership, but I would recommend giving a:

	{
                HW2_Wait ( 10 ),
        },

At the beginning of the "Events.intelevent_standbyForHyperspace" just to make sure, or raising it up to 50 to allow the transport ship to reach its parade slot, for a better cosmetic look.

I wish @BitVenom can look at this post, this should lessen the required "energy to change it", and make people a bit happier.

I have a major (game-breaking) bug that makes both Homeworld 1 and 2 unable to play.
Discription: Resource Collecter will move to an asteroid and instead of removing the resources from the asteroid, one will pick up the asteroid and carry it back to the mothership. All other Collecters will be automatically routed to the one carrying the asteroid. When the Collector reaches the mothership, instead of going to the back of the ship like normal it will enter the hanger and drop off the asteroid there. The other Collecters will move to another asteroid, and the first Collecter to reach one will start the prossess again.

If you need pictures, tell me.

I have reinstalled the game, but the bug is still there.

I am an old Homeworld lover, H1, H2, Cataclism. I want to buy the new remastered HW collection which supposedly includes the original CLASSIC VERSIONS of H1 and H2 with the purchase. However, my original old disks do not run in 64bit Win 10. Will the CLASSIC versions included with the Remastered HW clloection now run on 64 bit Win 10? If they will, I will buy the collection immediately. If not, maybe not, unlees or until the Remastered Version is patched to have working formations and tactics. Many of ny older game disks will not run in 64 bit Win 10, but I would LOVE to regain HW again.

I went through the tech support threads for the last year, and combined the solutions here. I've listed all the known solutions to crashing on load, major graphic issues, and multiplayer syncing - so look no further!

Launcher Crashing

--->If the launcher application wont start, you can create shortcuts to run the games directly:
HW Remastered Multiplayer:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Release\HomeworldRM.exe" -mpbeta
HW 1 Remastered Campaign:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Release\HomeworldRM.exe" -dlccampaign HW1Campaign.big -campaign HomeworldClassic -moviepath DataHW1Campaign -mod compatibility.big
HW 2 Remastered Campaign:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Release\HomeworldRM.exe" -dlccampaign HW2Campaign.big -campaign Ascension -moviepath DataHW2Campaign -mod compatibility.big
HW 2 Classic: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\Homeworld2Classic\Bin\Release\homeworld2.exe"
HW 1 Classic: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\Homeworld1Classic\exe\Homeworld.exe"
--->Try troubleshooting the launcher located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HWLauncher\Launcher.exe
right click->run as administrator
right click->properties->and mess with compatibility settings:

Homeworld Remastered Crashing

--->Player profile can get corrupted, delete it from: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Profiles\Profile#"
--->See the "General Crashing" section for more tips.

Homeworld 2 Classic Crashing

--->Add -nopbuffer to the command line arguments by going to Steam Library->Right Click on the game->Properties->Set Launch options. Or create a shortcut: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\Homeworld2Classic\Bin\Release\homeworld2.exe" -nopbuffer
--->Download an older version of atioglxx.dll and place the driver here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\Homeworld2Classic\Bin\Release\
Easy download: http://www.thegameengine.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/atioglxx_fix.zip
Complex download from AMD: http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/unable-to-run-hw2-disc-and-gearboxs-classic-version-on-win7-64bit-amd-gfx-workaround/94911/9
--->Player profile can get corrupted, delete it from:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\Homeworld2Classic\Bin\Profiles\Profile#"

General Crashing (Launcher, Remastered and Classics)

--->Verify game catch: Steam Libary->Right Click on the game->Properties->Local Files->Verify Integrity of game cache
--->Uninstall your graphic drivers, restart, then install the latest graphic drivers clean
--->Uninstall and re-install homeworld: Steam Libary->Right Click on the game->Properties->Local Files->Delete local game content, then install again.
--->Disable any overclocking software, especially GPU overclocking software.
--->Exclude the games in your anti-virus, and optionally temporarily disable anti-virus for testing.
--->Update your Microsoft .NET framework
--->Update your Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables
--->Reinstall windows fresh, old drivers could be corrupted due to a bad shutdown, bad windows upgrade, etc.
--->Additional troubleshooting tips/details: https://gearboxsoftware.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205282200-General-PC-Troubleshooting-
--->If all else fails, you may have a hardware issue like a bad power supply.

Graphic Issues (Remastered and Homeworld 2 Classic)

--->Disable any graphic overlay software: ATI afterburner, Raptr, Overwolf, AMD gaming evolved, etc.
Change v-sync graphic options.
--->Set all graphic options to their lowest settings, and slowly turn things back on
--->Try an older graphic driver that may be more stable.
--->You can also mess with your ATI/Nvidia control panel application specific settings.

Syncing or Bad Framerate in Skirmish/Multiplayer (Remastered)

--->Your FPS should never dip below 20fps or you risk syncing out of multiplayer games. HWR needs to run 20fps or more for MP, because that's the rate used for the world-sim. (To enable FPS display, go to Steam Settings->In-Game->FPS counter). 3v3's can make even the best PC's cry. All CPU's struggle when there's a lot of ships in the game (HWR is still a single core game), and most video cards can't handle HWR when textures from all 4 races are loaded.
--->If keeping your current hardware, you may need to set all the graphic options to the lowest settings and even lower your resolution to 1024x768.
--->Upgrade your PC. This is a single core game, so you want a great cpu for single threaded applications. This list ranks them: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html Graphics cards aren't as important if you set all your graphics low, but if you want to set them high you'll need a good card with 4GB of memory to handle textures from all 4 races. Also the game only uses 2GB of RAM, so that's not very important. This is the setup I run, and big 3v3 battles can still take it down to 25fps at 1080p with all graphic options near their lowest settings: i5-4690 3.5 ghz quad core, 8 GB RAM, Radeon R9 380.
