Issue with game crashing on first loading screen.

[Angry Barbarian Spirit]

Unsure what the problem is, but it seems like an issue with authenticating the programs files. This also shows up with the cache integrity check, showing a few corrupted files needing to be replaced, but I don't know what else to do to get them fixed. Can I get some help here please?

UPDATE: Found the fix in the SOE forums, turns out it's a compatibility issue with certain graphics cards. If you find you have the same issue I do, try this copy paste:

|Game Crashes During Load
|
|This usually occurs when the PhyreEngine attempts to initialize the deferred renderer and fails. |A possible fix is to switch to the forward renderer. This crash usually occurs on laptops or PC |using integrated graphics cards.
|
| 1. Make sure your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version.
| 2. Edit your preferences.dat file.
| 3. Set “use deferred rendering” to false.
| 4. Restart the game.

You can find the preferences.dat file by following this directory from your hard drive:

C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Magic The Gathering Tactics

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to get more gold in this game except to buy it. Maybe you can trade some cards you get for gold, so that's a hopeful.

I can't even find the file to change it. I have 3 hours of game play just trying to get past the loading screen.

It should be located in your steamapps folder, just follow the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Magic The Gathering Tactics

Again, the file is preferences.dat, just open with notepad. Hope I helped.

I had the same problem, but I was able to get it to work following those instructions, thanks Teh_Sora.

Glad I could help in any way.

Wait... I just contributed to the steam community... in a GOOD way...

Am I going to die?

[Schraddy]

I already answered this a few comments back, but I'll put it in the main post for easier access.

What's not working?

[TheDContinuum]

Mine's not working either. Got the some graphics but mostly black screen. Tried a fix in one of the other posts and got the graphics working. But then I started playing and it was nearly impossible to get my character to move. Most of the time no matter where I clicked it wouldn't let me move, and when I finally DID get him to move, it was usually in the opposite direction. This game is way too buggy. No wonder it's free.
