Subset Games Forum

Hello,

I've got almost 200 hours played in FTL and often tell people how it's my favorite game. But my hard drive recently crashed and after reformatting and re-installing everything, FTL won't load up.

I run FTL through steam, but when I try to boot I get the following message:

LoadLibrary failed with error 998:Invalid access to memory location.

The error message is accompanied by an FTL sized window that's all white. A google search shows a similar error message being shown for other games when they don't have the right videocard drivers. But I went and made sure I had the most recent drivers and the issue is still happening. (ATI Raedeon 5700 series).

Any thoughts?

I had one other player experience a similar problem. He fixed it uninstalling his drivers / CCC and reinstalling them. You can see his post here:

I know it's seems silly to do that, but might be worth a shot if you haven't tried.

I will try this straight away and let you know.

That did the trick, thank you very very much!

PS, I used the Revo trial software to make sure i got all of CCC out of my system before reinstalling.

Great! Hope you enjoy the next 200 hours just as much
