Dirt 3 wont start

[Hellegering]

My game wont start on WIN8. I read on google all kind of fixes and people who are familar with the problem.. Steam should NOT sell this

[The-Warden]

Same happening with me on windows 8.1, havent tried uninstalling and reinstalling yet

[Superd00ps]

Run in windows 7 compatability mode.

May sound dumb but try making a new windws user account... this worked for me on win 7 it is not steam... have you tried to login to GFWL? i bet you have issues there

[Hellegering]

I did run it as W7 compatability mode, And also the GFWL fix didnt work!

[Assassin_chad_23]

Were you able to open GFWL on its own? If when you try and open dirt 3 nothing happens and you dont even see the splash screen then its GFWL... I tried all the fixes and none did a thing... when i tried to open gfwl it would say "a Required component is disabled" and not log in... After making a new Windows user account (what you chose when you first turn on your pc) with NO password GFWL opened right up and i got 3 hours of play time with 0 issues.

Works for me straight away on Win 8.1 64bit without any messing around

tnx for your replay, I think its indeed the GWL problem..
I tryied to install it but it wont let me, in the installation process a error pop ups telling me it can't connect to the internet.. I searched it on Google and it says that i have more ore one Proxy's installed what is true but when i disable the service's the problem again occurs

[Assassin_chad_23]

start a new Windows user account... Its in the control panel.( For windows itself not gfwl) Just make a new account with NO password and admin rights and it will work correctly :) it seems like a messed up way to fix it but it actually works. hope that gets you playing

no. the game just SHOULD WORK

[TransgressorOfTheUnspeakableWord]

I won't argue against that.
