Start Up Issues

[Brozarkian]

EDIT:: Potential cause, Since this post, I have finally been able to start the game but only with a new computer. My guess is that it might have to do with my old graphics card OpenGL version. It was outdated(couldn't even play Minecraft). So maybe check graphics card OpenGL against requirements? My other guess would be having enough dedicated VRAM. My old graphics card only had a tiny amount of dedicated VRAM and had more shared Memory. It is possible the game requires you to have X amount of dedicated VRAM. I'm not sure, but these might be good things to check on... Hope everyone gets to play!



I've been having the issue where I start the game, it goes to black screen, then exits. I've tried all the solutions listed on this gamehub and from browsing google. I don't know if this will help but the log for the game says

im having same problem

[HABS]

i am also having that problem

[[Horsey]]

I'm having the same problem

[Admiral CJ]

Same problem. no clue whats wrong. i know this discussion is a bit old, but did anyone figure it out?

[General McHonkadonk]

Me too. If it's any help, clicking "Verify integrity of game cache" invariably says one file is invalid and proceeds to download a 0 byte file.

[™Hung3r_W0LF™]

Someone has this game to make a gift? I lost the sale while was happening...

[PizzasNephew]

Same here too.

[Lord Tabalt]

same problem as well, anyone figure it out yet?

[warriortree]

we all seem to be in the same boat or tank... no joy, checked integrity and downloaded a file it said was missing but still refused to work ..... mmmm I know it onyl cost me 99p but its the principal of the thing, I would like it to work please

[Admiral CJ]

i've scanned similar discussions, a few scattered fixes throughout that are absolutely useless. i wrote in a slightly black mood to Valve/Steam about a major issue with not being able to play certain games on my account again in an attempt to light a fire under it. Currently, about 17 games to date do not run correctly, this one makes 18. Kinda depressing, but at least some of them work (CIV!!). But like warriortee, its the point of the thing, even for 99 cents we deserve a working game. If its a Crappy working game, its our fault. But thats not the case here.

If it is not working I would rather use that 99p to buy 2 pint of milk.

[Lord Tabalt]
