launcher wont run??

[CatmanWu]

So my game wont run

[Rogan]

After choosing SoSC Revisited in a windowed screen, I only get a black screen and am stuck on it.

When I chose Saviors, it launched perfectly.
When trying to switch to SoSC from Saviors, it never happens (it stays on Saviors).

This seems like a serious bug.

EDIT: I found a solution. Read my comment further below!

Could you two share what type of systems you are using including what Windows version is used?

Should be noted that the system requirements say Windows 7 is not supported.

Same issue.
Running any of the .exe files for me gets "The procedure entry point SetThreadDescription could not be located in the dynamic link library "

Issues — I got a solution! (enter Idiocracy meme)
- After choosing SoSC Revisited in a windowed screen, I only get a black screen and am stuck on it.
- When I chose Saviors, it launched perfectly.
- When I try to switch to SoSC from Saviors, it never happens (it stays on Saviors).
- After changing some options (keybinds etc.) inside Saviors, going back to main screen and trying to switch again to SoSC, it worked. And after that, everytime I reenter the game and choose SoSC it works. :- )

The game specifically mentions you need Windows 10. I know a lot of games that say Windows 10 will work on 8.1 but that might not be true in this case. I personally can get this game to work on a friend’s laptop with Win 10 but not my 8.1 laptop.

I’ve already decided to refund and get the game on switch.

[CatmanWu]

I have never had any trouble running any game on 8.1 before now

I know for sure that Forza Horizon 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn don't work on 8.1 but work on 10 fine. I think it's possible that they can patch the game to work on 8.1, but currently, it doesn't seem like it does.

[CatmanWu]

Nooooooo.....

T_T I only got this for the updated Saviours of Sword city revisited in the first place
I can just wait for the patch I guess but it still makes me really sad

Hi, NISASahil !!


(* Google Translate)
I was very much looking forward to the release of this game.




I'm very sorry that I can't play this game at the moment.
I think all the fans of this bulletin board have the same feelings.

Thank you for your cooperation as soon as possible.
