DasmX86Dll.dll Not Found Issue
J. M. Pescado:
I have not been able to reproduce the 0100 crash at all, either. What game settings are you playing with that crashes?
Chaavik:
Game settings as in the awesome config or what?
I checked the file permissions and saw nothing out of the ordinary, cleaned out the prefetch folder and double checked the mods. I have HP's skintones, awesome mod, framework, scripterrorenabler and one small experimental mod I'm working on (related to writing). Nothing else.
**Edited**
Okay, if this has to do with awesomeconfig, I enabled everything including the debug commands.

What all settings do you want? I actually hadn't experienced crashing at all until just a few hours ago, this could be chalked up to not enough rigorous testing before or just not the right situation. My AwesomeMod is dated 6/7 at 8 something in the morning, nothing is changed from default. I am running Razor version Patched. Game version 1.0.631.00002, or so the launcher tells me. Xp service pack 2. The only other mod I have is the censor blur remover. Everything else is just patterns or EA store crap. Testingcheatsenabled true was enabled in game, nothing else was used except addtrait, editme, force opportunity, and dragging motives. The only thing consistent throughout sessions with crashing was debug being enabled.
Edit: Will now ensure that I have newest new AwesomeWare.

I also neglected to mention that my game was Retail if that makes any difference.

After long consideration, I decided to post; I believe I'm on topic regarding the "common" dasm dll issue, although it certainly seems uncommon at MATY. I believe there are a fair number of users, like me, who CTD regularly. But the OP might be describing a recent crash, which may make me rather OT. If that is the case, please accept my baa. I'm just a generally competent guinea pig who was also surprised that maty had no dasm thread. I'm currently playing 24/7 so maybe I can help test any theories, although I don't expect any success.
I've crashed frequently for 2 weeks since the start. I began using mods only 2 days ago after reinstall -- mods are fine, I crash no more frequently than before. I've trolled all DasmX86Dll.dll threads I've seen to no avail, and had simply decided to await a real EA fix. I assume some part of my system just rides a bug. I consider my system streamlined -- but honestly XP has more cabbage than I can swallow. XPProSP3 (32b), 3500+ (64b), 2GB RAM, 1GB Radeon x1600. I do have an odd sound card, the Most Excellent Hercules Game Theatre XP, which is notable that it's not WHQL certified, but the sound device has never proven to be a problem in the past. Yep, those are my specs, but I'll state clearly, I do not think this problem is about me, I think it is about many.
I switch the graphic options frequently -- in short, they don't seem to matter. Gameplay options are default with tutor off. Actually symptom is CTD, usually after long disk access while apparently (un)loading textures. I don't suspect that's the cause tho, it's just most likely to fart when it's gassy, you know. I'm sure I've crashed after only 5 minutes or less, and I doubt I've played longer than 90 minutes without a crash. I believe I can encourage it to crash by not waiting for [it] to catch up. Every log I bothered to look at has said DasmX86Dll.dll Not Found. Perhaps that is just a generic message, but nonetheless, that's all I have to go off of. It is hard to bear, because I feel obligated to do a 1 minute save every few minutes.
2 Days later (Where to post? Install / Awesome Errors / Here?)
My game has much improved. Due to much activity, I cannot say much about what I fixed, nor how well fixed it is. I keep restarting the game, and am still constantly tweaking graphic options -- I don't think I've let it run more than 30 minutes recently.
I do want to concede to and concur with the awesome people who said "DasmX86Dll.dl" doesn't have much to do with the price of fishing books in Strangerton.
I tried many many things that seemed to have no effect. But then I was noticably better, crashing 60% less. What I did that finally made things better was throw a hissy fit -- which means I had to reboot, so I switched a few dozen settings on my computer at the same time so I only had to reboot one. Very bad technique for knowing what the Hell is going on.
Here some of the actions which probably didn't matter at all or very little:
Reduced windows swapfile to 512MB. Set XP to prioritize disk caching as opposed to running programs.Enabled ECC, enabled quick boot, removed floppy from boot sequence and flipped a few other BIOS settings.
What probably did have some effect was:
Iinstalled latest NGO ATI Tray Tools.
I don't advocate which drivers are better; I change with the wind. I only know ATI Tray Tools had a convient Flip Queue Size which gave me noticable speed in Oblivion. After Oblivion, I had been running latest stock ATI drivers for last few games. While this did have some bene for me, I know it's not too likely to even help someone with the exact same video card. :(
But then, late last night, I cha-borked. I wanted too see the shiny awesome, but instead I put crazy glue on my contact lenses. I had to reinstalled Sim3 twice, before I realized that awesomeness was not causing my problem, but rather a single graphics setting. (ATI Tools should not force shader version (in my case)). But, 10 hours later (only half of that play-time I'm sure) I have not crashed today.
I only have a couple files different that I know of: that 632 patch I downloaded had a fixed exe and that TSLHost.dl --l I'm not sure whatsup with that dll, if it was patched or cracked, but I'm not using it today. I know I wasn't using the fixed exe before; I've been using fixed image. But I replaced that dll the first time around. Another guess that has nearly 0% chance to help anyone is that my first few days I did use the launcher all the time, and have only used it to install content while offline this time around. I am running the same mods I was before, I have the same families and saves as before, plus I'm finally happy to utilize awesomeness, and have all the DLC installed that I know of. I do, and did, use the frame-rate limiter.
I'd love to help someone, but this post won't do much. If there's a moral here, I guess it would be: Never give up until you quit.
