2.0 failed initialization error 0xc0000142

[madmod 0]

Hello. I have updated my client to 2.0 many times in many different ways. After files checking by updater I try to start l2.exe and I always got an 0xc0000142 error and game didn't initialize. I was playing in 1.5 for 1-2 years and never had any problems with l2.exe running.

After asking and looking arround I found a solution at https://boards.lineage2warpgate.com/topic/3199-fixed-0xc0000142-errorsolved/ : 

 

"The latest update of l2 classic came up with some errors.One of those errors is: "error initializing application 0xc0000142".

This problem occurs due to dsetup.dll file that is not compatible with older versions of windows.

For this reason you will have to download this modified dsetup.dll file and follow some steps in order to be able to play!

Step 1:Once you have run the l2 classic updater download the file and open it with winrar

Step 2:Extract it into the system folder and replace it

Step 3:Start the game from l2.exe inside the system folder

REMEMBER: Each time you run the l2 classic updater you have to follow the same procedure!

Download it from here
