I downloaded and installed Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 from Direct 2 Drive. At first launch the launcher appeared to have downloaded and installed the necessary updates. When I attempt to launch the game, I receive an error message which reads:

"There has been an unexpected error while running this program".

If I click OK on that message, another comes up which reads:

"An exception occurred executing dynamic code."

I've searched around these forums and elsewhere on the web and have had no luck finding what might be causing this.

Running Windows Vista and the system passed the performance checks. I have also attempted running the program as administrator and in XP Compatibility mode with no success.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Having the same problem. Tried Comp. mode for XP and Run as admin. Nothing....Someone help! Any suggestions welcome.

I have a Dell Vostro 200 with Intel Core 2 Duo.
EVGA 8600 GTS Video Card.

BTW says DRMSTUB-AM.txt is the one giving the error. Tried uninstalling using Revo Uninstaller. Still Nothing.

You sir...rock

That did the trick, thanks a ton!

Using Revo worked for you? Maybe I will give it another go.

I am also having the same problem. Just curious as to what you actualy did with Revo to get the game to work? I have never used revo......

What did the trick?

I replaced the original exe file with another and all went well until I downloaded 1.03 update. Now I'm back where I was when I first had this problem. Plus.....the original solution no longer works. I did try revo also. Still same error (drmstub-am)Can someone help?

i get at same error and when i click ok on the dialog boxes it brings me to the esrb.org web site ?

Well, they way I fixed it was downloaded the CD crack. I then wrote to Direct2drive.com where I bought it and a week later they send me the fix. Good luck guys. It is an issue with Authorization BTW.

i am having the same problem i downloaded from D2D also... guess i have to message em too

Here is the reply I got from D2D: ((I'm contacting you with a potential fix for your specific issue. You'll need to make sure that you are fully patched to v1.02. This can be done either through the autopatcher (in-game) or from http://www.ubi.com/US/Downloads/Info.aspx?dlId=2490 .
Once you are fully patched:
1. Download the fix for Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 from http://help.support.ubi.com/R6Vegas2_Fix.zip
2. Unzip (extract) the contents of the zip file to the Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 "Binaries" folder (C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2\Binaries), overwriting the existing file.
Once done, reboot the machine and then launch the game.))
I updated it to 1.02, installed the fix and the game worked…….updated it to 1.03 and reinstalled the fix and the game worked, but it still said version 1.02.…..not sure how that works but the game is running now. Hope this is helpful to you guys.
