AVP 2010. Error "binkw32.dll"

[polass47]

Hello,

after I installed Alien vs Predator (2010) I get this error:



Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

Hi polass47, welcome to SevenForums

This article should help you solve the issue, I'd recommend reading the whole thing: Binkw32.dll - Missing Binkw32.dll - Binkw32.dll Not Found - _BinkSetVolume@12

Let me know if you have any questions after reading.

The problem has been solved I would like to delete this thread but don't know how...

So glad you found a solution! Don't worry about deleting the thread, someone will come along and mark it as 'Solved'... in fact, to make this thread more useful to other people in the future, would you mind posting briefly what solution ended up working for you? Feel free to copy and paste from somewhere else. Thanks!

I played this game on another pc and after playing some hours I realized that I even don't like the game that much so I decided to delete it on my pc other people may like it more, I'm not saying that this game was awful. It was just too much predictable, I mean the scenario. I felt too much arcade in it so I decided not to spend time on playing it.

Oh ok haha... well i suppose that's a solution of sorts! I played a few minutes of the MP demo, wasn't all that impressed either. Just felt like a visually updated version of the 1999 original.

So that was the 'solution' ? You tried it elsewhere?

It sounds like you had a dud d/l and a bad installation.



binkw32.dll should have been installed with the game itself.

Otherwise copying the binkw32.dll from another game that has that file, or downloading it off the net, directly into the games folder would have worked.


ie C:\Program Files\Aliens Vs Predator for x32

or

C:\Program Files (x86)\Aliens Vs Predator for x64

I tried to solve the problem by downloading binkw32.dll and leading instructions put it to C:\Windows\System32 folder. After that I got another error which I uploaded to imageshake to show here. I tried to search in google how to solve another error but with no results. Then I decided not to try any more. The fuss about game ate my nerves

Fair enough

Just delete the binkw32.dll that you put in the system32 folder and place it in the game folder if you want to try again.

This is the file from my AVP installation, just in case

Thank you for reminding, I deleted binkw32.dll few minutes ago . Thanks for offering bink32.dll too, but I have already uninstalled the game. Looks like age does its own job, the older I become the less games get me interested in. New pastime hobbies fascinate me, for example - music creation software and music creation itself of course .

Well guys, i am from Argentina and i have the same problem... i Solved it but when i launch the game, it appears the first "Century Fox" escene but the game get frizzed. Sory for my bad english but i hope someone will understand me and help me with my problem, Thx

Some specs may help


However, AVP is currently buggy as hell.

Does it occur in both DX9 and DX10/11 modes (AVP.exe = DX9 / AVP_DX11.exe =DX10/DX11)

What sound settings is your video card currently set set to?


(right-click the sound icon in the taskbar Playback >right-click your device and select properties > Advanced Tab and then set it to 24 bit ,44100 hz )



Other things to try:

Install the latest DirectX run times:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0CEF8180-E94A-4F56-B157-5AB8109CB4F5&displaylang=en

If using an ATI card, roll back to CAT 9.12 / 9.12 Hotfix: (10.2 doesn't work )

ATI Catalyst 9.12 hotfix Win 7 | Vista (32|64-bit) download from Guru3D.com

Oh thx dude! <3 ya i solved the problem!. But i have one more question, one friend of mine have win xp, is there any other way to solve this problem? because he cant change his bits and Hz.. he has an onboard video card, i would be grateful if you help us

 

[smarteyeball]

It's been eons since I've used XP, but try lowering the sound hardware acceleration through dxdiag

(ALT+R to open the run cmd and type dxdiag.exe )

 

[Tatuu]

I did what you say but nothing happened... Hmm here is a pic, i modified where it says "No hay aceleracion"

Any answer? Thx

Again, sry for my english

 

[smarteyeball]

As I said, I haven't used XP in a long time so perhaps try this:

To set this, open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" window from within the Control Panel, then continue as follows:
"Audio" tab -> "Sound Playback" -> "Advanced" -> "Performance" -> "Audio Playback" ->

"Sample rate conversion" -> 'best'

◄ I don't remember what the other options are but try less than best.

It didnt work D: but thx for your help!
