Dirt 5 game doesn't start

[Vladius Job]

Every time that i try to launch the game it crashes. It doesn't even start .

Before it was an error saying this: Program exception.Please help by uploading the dumpfile -DirD1E8.tmp.dmp' to this email : '[e-mail]'

I send the email long time ago but i still don't have an answer.

What should i do in this case?

Thank you for your time reading this

I would start by verifying the game files, then restarting the pc. Also try checking for general updates as well as driver updates. If all of these suggestions don’t seem to work, try reinstalling the game? Hope these help!

Try running it as an admin.

Hello.

The game wouldn't start for me either.

Windows 11.

I finally got the game running by removing the USB receiver for my Logitech F170 wireless gamepad from its port.

How ridiculous is that?

I tried running the .exe with admin rights directly from my install folder. Didn't work.

I tried setting compatibility of the .exe to Windows 8. Didn't work.

Removing the USB dongle did.

It gets weirder...

I quit out of the game then launched it again without the USB dongle installed and the game wouldn't launch.

I re-inserted the USB dongle then removed it, and the game launched.

But only from the .exe in the install folder.

Launching the game from inside Steam or using the Steam shortcut doesn't work.

I created a shortcut from the .exe file and labeled it 'Dirt 5 - Insert and Remove Logitech F710 USB Receiver'.

Works every time now.

But removing a USB device would have seemed the least possible solution.
