What are EventSpawn.dat Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library EventSpawn.dat Errors

EventSpawn.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like EventSpawn.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like autoup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. War Rock Client) could share the same EventSpawn.dat file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DAT file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when EventSpawn.dat is attempted to be loaded either when War Rock Client is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common EventSpawn.dat errors include:

• Access Violation at address - EventSpawn.dat.
• EventSpawn.dat could not be found.
• Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\GamersFirst\War Rock\maps\BrokenSunset\EventSpawn.dat.
• Cannot register EventSpawn.dat.
• Cannot start War Rock Client. A required component is missing: EventSpawn.dat. Please install War Rock Client again.
• Failed to load EventSpawn.dat.
• The application has failed to start because EventSpawn.dat was not found.
• The file EventSpawn.dat is missing or corrupt.
• This application failed to start because EventSpawn.dat was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your EventSpawn.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with War Rock Client), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, EventSpawn.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading War Rock Client, system crash while loading EventSpawn.dat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
