Not working?!?

[acoldkilla]

I just downloaded it and then it boots, gets to a load screen and just error's out. I unistalled and reinstalled and still the same thing, help! I am trying to do a review for my network!!!!

[samahirg]

the game has not released . sure it will not load at the moment . if you want to do a review contact them directly .they might even give you a few review copy .

[SpatterCat]

Ummm, that's pretty confusing, considering it's being offered for sale and their website lists today as the release date.

I'm actually getting the same problem. I try to play the game. It boots up in a windowed mode and then gives me a "Fatal Error", lists some errored code, then asks if I want to abort, retry, or ignore. Abort cancels out, retry refreshes the Fatal Error, and ignore continues to launch the game -- but the window only displays white. I can still hear the game if I choose to "ignore", but nothing is clickable/playable, and my cursor gets stuck in the windowed area the game is in.

[You Don't Matter]

If you are trying to run the game in Windows vista or 7 it may not work. I see that it is supported for Windows XP SP3 but nothing else is listed, either in the store or online. I would suggest switching the compatability mode of the '.exe' file in properties.

Go to you steam folder and follow the path below to get to the file.
(Drive):/steam/steamapps/common/(games folder)/.exe file
Right click on the .exe
Select 'Properties'
Go to: Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP3 (which should be the default.)
Check the box, apply, done.

Hope this works.

PS I do not own this game. This has worked for other games. I do not assume responsibility if anything is to happen either to software or hardware. Caution advised and all that stuff....

[The_Cookiebeast]

Yeah i took that advice but i still get the same error as cable01 but at least it got me that far.

[You Don't Matter]

Okay. I would then try and disable visual themes too. Also in properties just below the compatability mode so you can follow those steps again basically.

[acoldkilla]

drunk as you stated that it works on windows vista sp3. That is under Minimum requirements so it should just run fine, either the game hasnt been fully released yet even though i purchased it is very disatisfying.

The intro-cinematics are stuttering.

It may help the dev, which error code is listed in the fatal error. In many cases the solution is somewhere there.

Edit.
@Jetpack Jerome: This are just warnings, i don't think these are the reason of the crashes.

[bigdeak]

I go a possible solution:
The game uses OpenGL 2.0 (not DirectX), make sure you graphic card supports OpenGL 2.0, update you graphics driver and try again. I hope this fix it :)

[wirehack7.com]

Nope, doesn't resolves the issue. Driver is up to date.

Hi guys,
we never had this crash in our tests, can you post a screenshot of the error window, this will help me to fix this crash in a update. In this case, the reason of the crash is not listed in the log entries (This are just first start warnings, nothing to worry about).
You can also mouse click in the error window and hit strg+c to copy the complete error code. I will do my best to do a hotfix!

[Nad The Inhaler]

[Nils (AW Dev)]

Hi Nad,
