Game will not start at all. (Ghost Recon 1)

[NONSTOP]

I've clicked the game from my desktop and from in steam and it refuses to start. It'll load and fade to black then it'll force close and not load at all.

[Eisenhauer]

search in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Ghost Recon/ after a file ( options.xml ) if it does not exist create a new document and copy these settings purely. Restart game now

[NONSTOP]

I did that. Made my own options.xml file and everything and it didn't work, just keeps saying a certain thing is missing.

[NONSTOP]

It says "MiniDumpWriteDump could not be located in the dynamic link library.

[nyyyk0]

same here man!

[Alexsande79☠]

same :(

[Eisenhauer]

do you play the steamversion ?
please tell which operating system you are using
did you try launching the game in compatibility mode?
Right click the exe and select properties.
Select the compatibility for windows XP

[Springerl]

I have the Steamversion and it crashes direct on the game start. before any Logo or else comes.
I checked the windows eventlogs. and it gives me back the app crash of the ghostrecon.exe.
with the compatibility mode is get the minidump error about the missing atiumdag.dll
I downloaded the dll and copy it to the path in the error message.
Its not possible cause the folder is readonly and u can change that flag without getting new errors.

if all else fails use a different computer or laptop. Odds are anything laying around now a days can run this game. Don't let this great game die!

[The Gatekeeper]

That is what I ended up having to do for all 3 ghost recons and the sum of all fears. Wouldn't work on my Windows 10 PC so I have to use my Windows 7 laptop. I suspect it may have something to do with all my steam files being on a separate hard drive on the Win 10 Computer.

Game doesn't start in Windows 10 Home with Radeon R9 380X, Adrenalin 2020 Edition 19.12.3 drivers. After installing the older dgVoodoo 2.54, it seems to work fine.

[JESUS SAVES]

I have to reinstall the video card driver from the disk that came with the card to get GR to run

not sure if you're still having this issue, but somebody else had this problem and this solution worked for me: https://steamcommunity.com/app/15300/discussions/0/540735426459606583/

Thanks so much mate, I had this problem too and it works great now.

[Excrete]

I've found a fix that worked for me.
Go into directory, find file named "dgbhelp.dll" and renamed it to "dgbhelp_old.dll"
Save, launch game, tada.
