It also crashes for me when I try to launch R2P.

 SirBriguy could you post your operating system?  I've not seen that one before.

 

For the Cannot create instance of 'ReadyToPlayWindow'  bug can you do two things, fist check that you have the latest updates and service packs for the .net framework and if you do please remove and re install RTP.  That bug happens when the RTP executable cannot find the right libraries to link with.

 

Thanks

Belxanthian

Found an article

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/wpf/thread/6e5de3d8-fc02-4504-b00f-7a2192d24a48/

It seems its a problem with SP2 on XP.  Is it possible for you to upgrade to the latest service releases?  According to the above article Microsoft has fixed this bug in more recent updates.

If I can help you further or for some reason that does not work, please feel free to contact me.

Unfortunatly no, this is a machine at work and I suspect my IT guys would yell at me if I starting intalling OS patches.

to Belxanthian, I re installed the latest version of .net framework, and updated R2P to the latest version, and I still get that "cannot create instance of ReadyToPlayWindow".

What can I do now ?

Izuz please uninstall and reinstall RTP and let me know if that fixes it.  I've seen a few problems when it tries to update itsself.  Also please let me know what OS you are running and what service pack if possible and I'll see what I can do.

I'm having the same problem. Crashes at startup, I think it may be while detecting games?

 

I'm shamed to admit it but I would guess to say this started happening after I installed DA:Origins from Steam.

I have already "verified" the application via Impulse and did a basic remove/reinstall. I'm thinking I have profile data hanging around as it recalled my options. Going to perform a more thorough reinstall.

On Vista Ultimate x64 btw.

 

I renamed the registry key group for R2P. This resolved the issue, it was definitely something hanging around in there. It may not even be necessary to reinstall as I kind of did that after and it seemed to pick up without issue.

Thanks for the feedback and the tip about the registry, I'll take a look at it.

Surely. I noticed the uninstall did a great job with the R2P folder in Prog Files, maybe it could clean out the reg entries too?

 

Thanks for your attention with the community. It is something I have always loved about SD.

 

Edit: On a side note I was not recieving any dump/crash report from R2P directly. I suppose the error could be in a log file, or is not the same as above. However, it did occur upon launch consistantly and while signing in(one in the same from a users perspective with auto sign in enabled).
