Game wont launch? Help?

[Adele]

So i click play on the game, and i get the splash screen, my screen goes black, then the game minimizes... i click the icon and my screen goes black and it minimizes again... help plz?

Info: OS: Windows 10 pro 64 bit (worked fine on my other system, which had Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit)

System: CPU: AMD Phenom 2 x4 955, graphics card: Sapphire radeon hd4870 (my other system had an EVGA GTS250) RAM: 4gb ddr3 OCZ Obsidian motherboard: generic gigabyte am3+ and i dont know why you would need any more system info.. i played this game a little bit when i had my win7 system, but a friend just picked it up and likes the game a lot, so i wanted to play and now i cant. is my os the problem?

Well if the usual bunch (check driver updates, verify game cache, reinstall) do not help, check out Sanctum 2 launch log file for errors. It's probably somewhere in your Documents (My Documents) folder (assuming Windows), under "Sanctum 2/Logs/Launch.log"

[Neit]

Also, when asking for help, it might be good idea to mention some details, like your OS, hardware configuration, whether the game worked correcty before and so on.

The less you tell, it's less probable someone will be able to assist you with your problems.

That's the only line starting with "error"? Could you drop the whole thing here?
EDIT:
I have that line as well in my absolutely successful game runs. 100% not it.

Well if anything, you don't seem to be running your GPU with proper drivers. I don't have any of those lines except 2 last (000.87 and 000.98). Shouldn't be "basic render driver" for Radeon video card, I think. Then again, I only have Nvidia so not sure. Still worth checking.

[Adele]

I have the latest drivers :/

[Neit]

From what I heard, Windows 10 seems to have issues with certain graphic drivers, other game forums are spammed with threads like this. Maybe that's the issue in your case too. Unfortunately, since I don't have Windows 10 I can't really give you any reasonable advice. Try checking other game forums and see what will work.

From what I've seen, maybe disabling compatibility mode might work. But it's a long shot.

whether or not i have compatibility on it doesnt display past the splash screen.. after the screen it goes black and mininmizes, but i found that if i click the icon after waiting for about a minute i get a split second of menue music, then it minimizes again. which problably means its something with my graphics card, or my overclocks on it. i will mess with those and see what happens

[Adele]

So I have found that games that boast PhysX support as a selling point (especially older games) wont run on ANY ati amd gpu... so while i would do some ini mossing so that PhysX can run on my gpu, i think i will just upgrade anyway..

I've never trusted AMD with video cards. It's 2015, and they STILL can't make a proper Linux driver that isn't a half-baked mess. Something that Nvidia has been successfully doing for years.

That is just a personal opinion. but, i got this video card for free and its 1gb, what i was running before was a gts 250 with something like 512mb so this card is insanely better just cant run two of my 40 games.. Mafia 2 and Sanctum 2

It's not really just an opinion, since ATI drivers are objectively having issues, that are not exclusive to Linux despite the fact they are manufacturing the cards for several years now. I could list you some most common ones, but I don't believe that's the purpose of this discussion.

Unfortunately, since I don't have Windows 10 I can't really give you any reasonable advice. Try checking other game forums and see what will work.

From what I've seen, maybe disabling compatibility mode might work. But it's a long shot.

whether or not i have compatibility on it doesnt display past the splash screen.. after the screen it goes black and mininmizes, but i found that if i click the icon after waiting for about a minute i get a split second of menue music, then it minimizes again. which problably means its something with my graphics card, or my overclocks on it. i will mess with those and see what happens

Since you seem to be onto something, be sure to post the results in case you resolve the issue, other people might find it helpful.
