lotdgame.exe has stopped working

[Bleedinbob]

Just purchased this game and no luck getting it to work and receive the error message "lotdgame.exe has stopped working". I have tried the following solutions but neither one works:

On Windows 7, click the Start button
Click Control Panel
Click Region and Language
Administrative Tab
Click Change System Locale
Change to English (United States)
Restart your PC and try running Deadlight

In Windows 7 right-click the Deadlight exe file, go to the ‘Compatibility Mode’ tab and check ‘Disable Desktop Composition’

Is it 64 bit Windows 7?

I'm looking at purchasing this and if I run in to the same thing I did with other titles the fix was to locate the XNA .NET folders in C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Assemblies/GAC_32 and GAC_MSIL and change the Owner in the Advanced Security properties to be Administrator for these directories and all their subdirectories (there is a tick box for this when changing owner)

Good luck with getting it working!

I tried this game on my girlfriend's computer (she has Win 7 64bit) and it did not work.

Later I found out that it might be her graphic card which is an ATI one. On her brother's computer, which has a Nvidia card it worked flawlessly.

I suspect that it might be Nvidia's PhysiX technique ATI graphic cards are not supporting obviously. Do you have one aswell?

Edit: Her brother uses 64bit as well fyi.

Running an Nvidia card here so cannot test. Decided on not purchasing for now.

I have the same problem. This game is buggy like hell. I don't understand why the Microsfot can sign uder it. Tequila works should fix it asap!

You are funny. We should change system language because of game? Kidding? I have Windows 8. Other games works nicely

I got my version launching and got through 20 min of gameplay. Now the game CTD with the same error as before after about a min of gameplay. What a waste -- seems like a great game.

Go to your games list
Right click Deadlight
-> Local files
->Verify integrity of game cache
Wait until it has finished searching and downloading all the missing files (IF IT FINDS ANY)
This fixed it for me
