Metalzoic Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 RocketLauncher seems to run fine. It's just HyperSpin that is having fits. Looking through these scannow logs it looks like the file that's corrupt is bootres.dll Not sure what it does, but a search says it can prevent programs from running, so maybe it's just this one thing being corrupt and HS needs it? No idea, but it says it can't repair it because the store version is also corrupt... Grrr... EDIT: On the plus side an accessory for my new shotgun just showed up in the mail so that's awesome! If I don't get it fixed maybe I'll use the cab for target practice!
zillion23 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I was having the same problem as you guys with very slow and laggy response in hyperspin the past few days all of a sudden. So I did a system restore to a point for about 5 days ago and my problems were fixed but then when I did a windows update my problems returned. It turns out that the newest Windows Defender update list hyperspin.exe as a virus or malaware. So I added an exception to hyperspin.exe in windows defender and all my problems went away. I spent hours trying to figure it out so now I am happy! Hope this helps you guys out.
ninja2bceen Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Ah ha. I have windows defender turned off. Good find Tapatalk signature
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Also having reports for RocketLauncher.dll being blocked too guys for fresh installs... right click the file/properties/unblock. Pain in the ass Windows!
zillion23 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Greetings.. My first post!! I had the same problem. My windows defender was also turned off . But after I made an exeption for Hyperspin through my virus program. The problem was gone. ☺☺☺ Excellent news, I am glad that worked! I would advise everyone to add an exception to hyperspin.exe in there virus program. Mine just happened to be Windows Defender and all the virus programs probaly get there info from the same place.
Metalzoic Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 I use Windows Secuity Essentials. Windows Defender is the same thing? Hopefully this is it I'll check right now. I've run it since the beginning with no issues, but I'm guessing it updated and changed that. Strange that going to an earlier restore didn't help at all. EDIT: Did a search for Win Defender and opened it and it just said "this program is turned off". Reading up on it Defender was replaced by Security Essentials and isn't used anymore. Security Essentials doesn't show that it was quarantined or blocked in any way that I can tell. EDIT 2: Holy shit! It might have worked... I added it as an excepted program and it fired right up. I'll do more testing later have to leave for a meeting. Holy hell I hope it works!

Windows Defender is the new standard in Windows 10 apparantly which is what I am using and is pretty much the same as Microsoft Security Essentials. Defender did not quarantine or block hyperspin.exe on mine either, thats why I never thought to check my virus program. I guess in there new update, its listed it as a virus or something because my hyperspin problems did not clear up until I added an exception for hyperspin.exe. I hope that fixes your problem.
gigapig Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Mine wasn't locking but was lagging when I fired it up last, so I added the exclusions to WDefender and things seems a bit snappier. Thanks Kmoney.
damageinc86 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 G'damn windows, thinking it knows what's best for us again. lol.
Metalzoic Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Hot effin' damn it lives! Weird that it would block HS from running, but not log that it did it, not show it in the history, not have a pop-up saying it was blocked, no warning message box, no notification, nothing at all to indicate it. Even when it wasn't responding and I clicked the "close program and search online for a solution" windows button it didn't find anything. You'd think it just would say "Oh yeah, this isn't responding because I'm blocking it at the moment". Jesus... Thanks Kmoney, I was losing my mind and spent hours troubleshooting stuff. However now that my nicely customized, shelled Win 7 was wiped out trying to fix it maybe I should go ahead and update to Win 10. I'll need to in just a few months anyway for Killer Instinct (I believe they said it's Win 10 only) and I'm sure there will be a handful of PC games in the next few years that require it.

koolershaker Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks guys, make an exception in windows defender fixed the problem for me, which appears i dont know maybe a week ago in defender was no notice about hyperspin using Windows 10 hyperspin 1.4 and rocket launcher
Chiliwhomp Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Just wanted to stop by and say thank you to everyone in this forum post haha I just got a new USB receiver adapter at the same time this happened so I was SURE it was that that was causing the lag / hangup's that suddenly started appearing and was cursing up a storm but sure enough did the same thing you guys did and made and exception for the whole hyperpsin folder and now everything looks to be great again. Thanks for doing all the foot work guys
Metalzoic Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 Sure. Ha! I'm so happy it works, I was afraid I had a big problem and was potentially looking at 10's of hours (if not more ) to get it fixed. Here's something else that just happened in case you get it to. UI just updated my RocketLauncher files and was getting a module extensions/rocketlauncher.dll error when starting a game. Someone posted the fix here in another topic: Go to that rocketlauncher.dll file, right click, properties, click UNBLOCK. All good again.

Thanks for doing all the foot work guys Yeah it took me a while to figure it out. It took me a lot longer than I would have liked because I had just moved my entire hyperspin folder to a brand new hard drive, so I was putting all my efforts into thinking the brand new hard drive was the problem the entire time when it was just stupid Windows Defender.
Metalzoic Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 Well I'm glad you did man and I'm glad I made this topic. Otherwise I'd still be spending every non-work moment trying to fix it.
what2be Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 This is a bit off topic from the orignal solution of unblocking hyperspin via Windows Defender but thought I would add a fix that another poster mentioned about dealing with blocked files. When downloading files from the internet you can get your files blocked, I downloaded a file from microsoft called streams.exe and run it from the root of any folders that contain anything I have put in them that came from the internet. Heres some info on it if your interested: ============================================= It's quite simple, NTFS attached a data stream (that IDs "unsafe files") to the file when it is just downloaded from the Internet. Do recursively remove this stream for all files, follow these steps : Download the Streams CLI executable from Microsoft Put the streams.exe executable in your Windows directory (or anywhere that the system can find it) Run this line in the command line : streams -s -d directory It will then remove all of the data streams from all files recursively in the directory - you have now successfully unblocked all files. ================================================================= Heres the link to the command line version: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897440.aspx If you hate typing you can use a 3rd party GUI utility that does the same thing: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/alternate_data_streams.html
potts43 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I looked and WIn Defender is turned off and couldn't see how to add an exception.
what2be Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I looked and WIn Defender is turned off and couldn't see how to add an exception. In windows 10 they call it a exclusion, which is the same thing. Which version of windows are you running? On windows 10 it should look like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w52sv4dp3m0vvsf/Screenshot%202015-08-31%2023.40.21.png?dl=0
potts43 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Win 7....just couldn't see an option to add an excision. Clicked on lots of options...
gigapig Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Win 7....just couldn't see an option to add an excision. Clicked on lots of options... That's the W10 settings, may not be the same as W7
potts43 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 That doesn't look like the page I ended up on. What was the path to it?
Metalzoic Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 I think he showed a Win 10 screen there, mine looks absolutely nothing like that either. I'm running Win 7 64 and it says that Windows Defender was replaced by Windows Security Essentials. My Defender was turned off as well and I added the exclusion to Security Essentials. So add it to whatever anti-virus you're using.
Dime333 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for the info in this thread. I would never have thought of this.
