The euro truck simulator 2 game crashes while launching it from the desktop.

Hi Bradley,

Thank you for posting your query in the Microsoft Community.

You have an issue with playing a game on Windows 7. It can be difficult when something that is important to you does not work as expected. It is pretty simple and we are here to help you fix the issue. We will work as a team and get this sorted out.

Please answer these questions-

1)   Have you ever been able to play the game on the computer?

2)   Did you try running the game from the original file location and not the desktop icon?

3)   Have you made any changes on the computer prior to the issue?

I would like more information regarding the issue.

Method 1-

I would have you navigate to the default location of the game and try to run the .exe file from there. Check if it works.

Method 2-

I would recommend you to perform a Clean Boot.

Placing the computer in a Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to perform the steps from the article-

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Note: You need to follow Step 3 from the article to get the computer back to Normal Startup after performing all the troubleshooting steps.

Now, try to play the game.

Method 3-

I would have you check for the latest updates and patches for the game from manufacturer’s website.

If the issue persists, I would have you contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

Hello,

I recently downloaded the euro truck simulator 2 demo to get a feel of how well it would work on my PC, however I get a problem when trying to run it.

The installation worked perfectly, but when I click on the desktop shortcut, I get the following error occur:

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has stopped working

Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.

• Check online for a solution and close the program
• Close the program

Here are the problem details:

If you could please suggest to me a solution it would be much appreciated. I have tried everything, including updating graphics drivers, security scans and numerous re-installations. I have also attempted running the troubleshooting versions (DirectX, OpenGL), but to no avail.

Thanks in advance, C:

Original title :  APPCRASH Error when attempting to open a game.

i got a problem to open this euro truck simulator 2 because it would be crashed during start of the game and using mods example:Islands of the Philippines and open the game that would be stopped working.Please help me to fix..

My computer model:

Dell Optiplex 745

Intel Pentium D CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99GHz

RAM:2.00GB

Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit

I had the same problem! I looked up a couple things online, and I found nothing that helped. Eventually I just deleted the game's data and restarted everything. To fix it, go into your start menu (computer search bar) and type in "euro". It will show you some files on your computer. There should be a folder called "Euro Truck Simulator 2". Just delete that folder, relaunch the game, and it should be fixed. And just to be extra safe, select a different hometown than last time you played when you start a new game. If this worked, please let me know!

Hello, thank you for the fast response.

These are the answers to your questions:

1.) No, I was able to install it perfectly, when when it came to running the game for the first time, I get the error message.

2.) Yes, I've located the .exe launcher in program files but it follows the same error.

3.) No, I hadn't made any changes to my computer prior to this, but I have since installed a different game which works fine. This led me to suggest the game demo may be faulty, so I downloaded it from a different location and installed it but still the same error occurred.

I've just performed a clean boot but the same error persists.

Thank you for the link, I have downloaded the latest update/patch for the game but this, unfortunately, has not solved the problem :-(

I have just sent an email to their support team mentioning all the above.

Thanks a lot for your help thus far :-)
