World in Conflict- Different types of Crashes!!! [FIXED]

[Op_Bisu]

Hey guys. I just got World in Conflict Bundle from Steam like two days ago. And I had various trouble trying to play the game and I noticed A lot of people having trouble also with Window 7. But Here are my methods fixing it!!!

My computer is Window 7 64-bit!!!!

First let me tell you that if you get the WIC bundle. Soviet Assault is just the complete game that includes missions in the regular WIC. You will play campaign as Soviet and US.

Anyways back to business!!

CD-Key issue:
Soviet Assault is the only thing that need CD-Key if you got the bundle so don't worry about CD-Key for regular WIC.

MAIN MENU CRASH:
this was not a problem for me in the beginning until I went through all these process for my campaign to work ( I will talk about this next). But if you have crash in Main Menu it is because WIC runs optimally in Direct X9. Here are the steps to fix it.
Document->World in Conflict->Game Option-> Find MyDX10!! There will be "1" next to it so change that to "0" and save! and start the game again!

CRASH AFTER LOADING SCREEN OF FIRST CAMPAIGN:
I had this problem from the start! The problem is Soviet Assault and regular WIC has same file name on one of the game file. You can do multiple steps like change the name of the file for Soviet Assault But this is kind of hard to explain if you are a beginner. I'll tell you the easier way to do it.

1. Uninstall both games (Skip this step if you have modified any of the files and if you don't know you did it or not "Just UNINSTALL)
2. Install WIC This will automatically install both WIC and Soviet Assault.
3. Then Uninstall WIC ONLY!!! (NOT THE SOVIET ASSAULT)
4. You are left only SOVIET ASSAULT!! VERIFY CACHE!!! only that game!! If you don't know how to VERIFY CACHE if you google it, it will tell you. (This process will also automatically input the CD-Key into your game) Then restart the game!

CRASH AFTER PLAYING 10-20min INTO THE GAME (FATAL ERROR: Insufficient memory..)
OK. This one was just hassle. my game was crashing at the same place after the first campaign mission. First of all, The MAP itself have a bug or it needs the most memory to run (Map is DOME). So if I play different map in skirmish mode, my game was running fine. But If I play campaign or skirmish on DOME my game crashed.
The reason for this is WIC for some reason was running the game (GRAPHICS) on one of my temp file which will overload that file's memory. No matter how hard I tried.. I wasn't able to change the setting. But this issue can be solved with sacrifice of quality of the graphics. (TRUST ME MY COMPUTER CAN RUN MOST RECENT GAME ON ULTRA but didn't feel like listing my spec) So for the first mission (MAP DOME) put it on LOW! and then play through the whole first mission. Then SAVE the campaign and revert your Graphics to Ultra or whatever your system can handle and play the rest. If your game still crashes with same error message, Put the graphic on "MEDIUM" if you had it at "HIGH" at first.
**NOTE** when you increase your graphics this will automatically change Direct X to 10 instead of 9. So quit the game and turn off MyDX10 (revert it back to "0")

These are all the crashes that I encountered so if there is anything else, Cant help you there SORRY. BUT HOPE THIS HELP ALOT OF PPL!!! GOOD LUCK!

Oh let me know it this worked or not! I'm Curious!!!

[TokyoSolo]

I still cant find the game option

[ASpaceInvader]

the game option is not a folder but a file in the documents folder in wic, edit it with notepad.

I follow your direction on (MAIN MENU CRASH) and it worked. It didn't crash after I got in for a few mins and it was fine.
I have not encounter the (CRASH AFTER LOADING SCREEN OF FIRST CAMPAIGN) crash yet because it always crash on me.
Also I noticed that when I changed MyDX10 '1' to '0',I check the Graphics->Advanced and I found that the 'USE DX10 RENDING' was not on and after I put it back on,Apply, and Exit Option. I got the message about it going to change/Apply DX9 to DX10 version after I exit the game. So I went to check back The Game Option and it Changed MyDX10 '0' to '1', I went to check the game out and it crash before I even got in the Main Menu. So I changed it back to '0' and it work again without crashing so as long I keep that 'USE DX10 RENDING' off. It should work (I think).

this game is such a pain in the ass, i wish i could just get my $10 back from steam. but lets face it folks that aint going to happen

[waynee]

one thing u can do is right click on the shortcut -> propertys -> target and add "-dx9" to the end of the line. it should look like this :

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\WORLD IN CONFLICT\wic.exe" -dx9

it worked for me. unfortunetly there are no players online to play some multiplayer games :(
cool game but dead i think :(

I also had the problem with the fatal error in the campaign .
I also found that I could not change the graphics settings , whereupon I gave Admin rights wic.exe file in the directory and XP3 compatibility mode was established. Then everything works fine. My OS is win7 64bit (Sorry this is a google translation)
PS: My Game is from GOG.com

I didn't have any of these problems. I run the game on Windows 7 x64. Seems it is because I can't run on Ultra quality.

Hi, could you please elaborate on the part of renaming files for CRASH AFTER LOADING SCREEN OF FIRST CAMPAIGN ?
I got a complete version on one disc and can't deinstall just part of it...
Thanks a lot!

This saved my game, Win 7, 64bit, the game doesn't crash on the main menu a split second on loading in, I now have hope for game again.

[Zaid Ikari]

Game Option.txt dose not exist in folder.

[BRMateus]

Doesn't need to install the Online Patch as the game is dead already, but there are some fixes:
Compatibility mode Windows XP SP 3.
Run as Administrator.
Has to run from Command Prompt or Powershell, as Administrator, because Windows 10 blocks the special coding hacks the game uses to be "modern" in 2007.
