Hey everyone! I need to help getting 2022020200 to run. The game boots up just fine but crashes after I select language.  Here’s a pic of the log. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I haven't even gotten it to boot that far. It doesn't even start up for me. What did you do to get it booted to the title screen?

I moved everything from the modules folder onto the contents. From there I used the pcbid that someone shared earlier and it worked. Now I can’t get past the language select without the game crashing.

Guess what, I've tried that and it doesn't boot. I hate this dump with a passion.

I've probably also produced the same exact log as the one couple posts above.

I am considering just using a secondary machine to test that stuff on.

Looks like what my log has been saying. Exception access violation. I am completely stumped.

But you at least got it to boot to the title screen! I have not gotten any of that luck.

So I got it past the language select screen after swapping files from an older build. Problem with that is it loads the good theme and I’m trying to run this on my SD cabinet.

Swapping from 2021080400 or the 2020072800?

Also which files should you swap? gamemdx.dll? arkmdxp3.dll arkmdxp4.dll? Which ones?

I took the gamemdx.dll from the 2021080400 and replaced the one in the 2022 folder. Game booted up after I did that but it’s stuck with the gold theme.

the gold theme is because the DLL has the Type 6 patch on, you need to find the appropriate patcher and patch the Type 6 off.

 

Also I put the other DLL in and it still EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION on me, could you show me the folder of your game?

I have gotten it to work, turns out you need the DirectX 9 Redistributables to get the game to boot. If you don't have them, then the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION will screw you over.

Never mind, tried it after installing DirectX 9 from the link you gave and it still crashes. Back to the drawing board for me.

You are giving me conflicting information.
The one time you say it works, the other one you say it crashes.
Do you perhaps have 2 PCs and DDR only works on one?

Sorry about that, I really was getting my stuff mixed up, it’s been a long weekend. So the game crashes for me when I have the blue theme but runs fine when I force the gold theme.

Today I've had a few share of problems with A20 Plus Final. It was working perfectly last week, but I tried playing it today and suddenly, the game had issues.

Maybe some Windows update or some program I installed/uninstalled screwed things over...

First, I had the "white screen, instant crash" when opening the game and the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error in log file.

Installing the DirectX 9 Redist fixed the crash issue for me, thanks for sharing the tip!

 

Then I had another issue: After choosing certain songs, they weren't being loaded and thus soft-locked the game. Turns out those were the songs with videos.

Another clue was that my title screen and song selection screen had a black backgound instead of the normal video background.

So, I updated K-Lite Codec Pack to the latest version, and then, this video issue was fixed.

 

After that, I was able to play A20 Plus Final perfectly on the blue theme, didn't need to force the gold theme, mess with other .dlls and stuff.

Or you could've just registered the DLLs in the com folder instead installing the K-Lite Codec Pack.

I installed DirectX 9 again and registered the dll’s but my blue theme still crashes while gold works fine. At this point I’m thinking it’s just my PC.

What are you running A20 on? Like specs and OS. If I can’t get my PC to run it I can at least recreate someone else’s set up.

Has anyone experiencing issues with a20+ where certain songs are stuck on perma-loading after selecting them to play?  I've got MDX-2021080400 version from nyaa which have this problem, and now my older version is having the same issue as well...

It's a mix of new & old songs.

The songs added from 20+ seems to work, but if I patch [unlock songs] from bemanipatcher, none of the songs work, including the older songs.

 

Songs that are stuck on perma loads include:

-Possession

-All my love

-魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました

 

etc... I feel like the trend is that the songs with specific music videos or animations, instead of generic ones(with the characters dancing in the back), are having these issues.

Do you have the DLLs from the com folder registered?

Run this command in an administrator command prompt:
 

for %f in (D:\MDX-001-2022020200\contents\com\*.dll) do regsvr32 %f

(replace D:\MDX-001-2022020200\contents with your path to the game's contents folder)

I didn't even know about this .dll registration step before. Thanks for the tip!

I solved this issue on my end by updating K-Lite Codec Pack.

Try the .dll registration thing first, if that doesn't work, try updating K-Lite.

I registered the xactengine2_10.dll file without problem.

However, the k-clvsd.dll keeps telling me it failed to load - make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. - The specified module could not be found.

 

The Game folder(MDX-001-2022020200) is in the Desktop.  

Sorry for the late reply.  Am I typing something else in the admin cmd?

you need to change directory to C:\Users\[your username]\Desktop\MDX-001-2022020200 and then do the command again

You are specifying two (2) conflicting parameters.

You're specifying for spicetools to use its built-in local server (which is -ea) and at the same time you're specifying spicetools to connect to an online 3rd-party server.

The crash that happens when selecting Language is due to some corrupted files in your data.

Glad you got it working by installing DIrectX 9 but "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" for this game actually means a lot of things and may be caused by many different things.

 

https://ibb.co/gWbGZK8

What I see in your logs is that you may have some corrupted files; probably due to or related to adding some songs incorrectly.

Yup, that's another solution so you won't have to deal with having to specify the folder location.

Kinda late on this but I finally got the game to work, just redownloaded and BAM! 
 

is anyone playing the game online or in maintenance mode? If so what are you using to play online?

[neogeomaster]

I want to know if somebody have the tutorial because I understand nothing... I download the last game from Nyaa. Download a spicetools, butterfly 1.3, ea3-config. Try many fake tutorials in English and Spanish... I'm stuck in the title of the screen DDR... And I see a warning => confirming network connection status. Or if somebody can upload a folder with all already inside and a tutorial how to start the game... I map the buttons, I add some credits but that's all. Start button not working at all... Thank you in advance. You can answer in French, Spanish, Japanese or English.
