[SOLVED] game wont launch

[XE_NOVA]

i just bought insurgency and when i hit play it says preparing to launch then nothing. i tried everything form verifying game cache, reinstalled the game and steam. i checked my antivirus and everything is in order nothing blocked. it's really disappointing for me that this game wont launch.

any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried launching the insurgency.exe directly via "...\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\insurgency2"?
Sounds like a steam issue.

Be sure that no 3rd party application (antivirus, overlays, etc.) is not interfering the game, than you can try some of possible fixes:

steam client, right click on insurgency, properties, launch parameters and add: -w 1920 -h 1080

(change values to native resolution fo your monitor screen, if that will not work, change it to below-native)

i have tried all those and their is no dump folder or files. in that location.

[Smileyxo]

can you check and see if there is an insurgency.exe proces in taskmanager?

[Smileyxo]

also, make sure your visual c++ 2010 x64 or x86 is installed properly.
And make sure Direct x is updated to the latest version.


Both those files can be found in your insurgency root folder
D:\Steam Library\steamapps\common\insurgency2\_CommonRedist
.

you can install visual studio version 4.5+ using this link, selecting it in the list and clicking download. https://ninite.com/

Very usefull website for techys who format their pc every now and then.


Also, make sure ALLL your drivers are up to date.
i do this via http://drp.su/

There is a free torrent with almost every driver inmaginable in one package 10GB with an auto check and installer Definitly worth checking out.
Open ource software so the torrent is legit ;)

everything has been updated or didnt need to be because i already have the newest version.

i did find out what works and is crazy to the reason why and the game needs to updated to patch this or get it to work from the get go. no idea why i would have to do this to a file but it worked and game launched.

you can DL takeownership script below so that it adds it to your right click context menu.

1. Gain ownership of C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\WBEM\FASTPROX.DLL and assign yourself Full control of the file if necessary.
2. Rename FASTPROX.DLL at this location to FASTPROX.DLLOLD
3. All steam games will now launch without shaderapidx9.dll error. <<< not that i had this error or never showed me the error but they need to fix this with the games.

i would like to thank you guys for your feedback even though that wasnt my issue. its just a shame that we need to rename files ourselves to get a game to launch and work.

[Smileyxo]

good you could find it yourself ! :)
indeed, quite the weird fix for this issue :D
