Paradise Lost doesn't run

[infantMajesty]

The game wasn't running either by the regular executable or the Paradise Lost one, so I looked around and reinstalled the game using the beta build that says "can't run paradise lost". The normal Postal 2 runs normally now, but Paradise Lost is still giving me an error telling me to load an older save, even though I have none.

If you are still on version 1409 then Paradise Lost will not run, you need to switch back to the latest version.

You can then try to delete ParadiseLost.ini and User.ini, both of those files are located in steamapps\common\Postal2Complete\ParadiseLost\System

Ok then. So I reinstalled with the normal build, both Paradise Lost and Postal 2 didn't run, even after deleting User.ini on boty System folders, as well as ParadiseLost.ini and Postal2.ini.
The error is as it follows:
An error has occurred. If this is the first time you've received this error, try loading a previous save file. If you continually get the same error, submit a bug report and/or check the Support Forums for assistance.

I'm not sure what this error is caused by, it's very strange, especially when the normal game works just fine :/

Edit your local ParadiseLost.ini file with Notepad or a text editor, look for this section:

[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

Change it so that there's a semicolon in front of the D3DDrv line, and none in front of the OpenGLDrv line:

[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

Perhaps that will help.

It gives me the same error. Same thing with the normal game, but now it takes less time from the splash image to the error.

The normal game only works in the 1409 build.

Got an update today, still same error in both games.

I'm not really sure what I could suggest to fix this error. Try this, especially check the system files for any errors:

Reinstall the whole .NET framework: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30653 (Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions)

Reinstall all DirectX Packages: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Reinstall all C++ Packages, download them from here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003 (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013)

Check if you have all of the latest Windows updates installed.

Check the system files for any errors: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

Restart your PC after you go through all of these steps.

not sure exactly what it is, but i have the same problem here. Game only ran in 1409, assumed it was because I didn't have paradise lost, bought it, still won't run. Sucks to waste money on the dlc I can't play :(

[NXTREADY]

everyone ive seen with this problem has intel graphics, assuming thats the problem.
