Game Won't Start

[JadedGames]

I load my game up, and then it just crashes, I don't know why and it is really annoying. I just want to play the game, instead I get a crash message every time I load up now. It isn't far, and I need a solution!!

The same for me, it crashes when i try to run the game, and I paid for this game

I paid for the game as well, or I wouldn't be on here asking why it isn't working. Found a fix now though :D

Hi, if you get an error message, copy-paste here so I can give you a specific solution.

In any case, first of all, double check the settings are properly set.
Let me know if this helps:

Those are the proper settings on Configuration Utility (from Launcher > Settings):

GENERAL TAB

• Frame Rate Compensation: Disabled
  
• Processor: All enabled

{GRAPHIC CARD} TAB (first one)
Enabled
Click on "PS 2.0"

• Monitor Aspect: 1.33 (for 4:3 monitors) or 1.78 (for 16:9 or 16:10 monitors)
  
• Monitor Size: 21
  
• Screen Format: 32 bits X8R8G8B8
  
• Screen Res: Select your resolution with 60fps
  
• Multi Sampling: 8 Samples
  
• Render Type: Shader Hardware
  
• Options: All enabled (VMR9 is the most important)
  
• Textures: Highest possible (if you have a middle graphic card or better)
  
• Render Targets: All enabled (except nVidia Shadows, it breaks shadows actually)

{GRAPHIC CARD} TAB (others)
Disabled

MOUSE TAB
Disabled (there is a rare issue with mouse and cinematics)

KEYBOARD TAB
Enabled

{OTHER TABS} (each, if any)
Disabled


If the game runs too fast, use a fps limiter to cap the game to 60fps. If you have a nVidia card, you can use nVidia Inspector[www.guru3d.com]


Besides, I recommend to use this patched version of TRAOD_P4, community made (by sasho648), with a lot of fixes and some improvements: TRAOD_P4 v6.6.4[onedrive.live.com]
Extract TRAOD_P4.exe and replace (backup the original just in case) on bin folder.

Start the game (the launcher) and click Settings;
Go to your GPU tab in the settings window (the first tab that displays your GPU);
In the middle-far-right, make sure to check "VMR9" and then click OK. Try running it then

I already explained that...

Ah I thought your response was in reference to something else after I skimmed through and saw the nVidia Inspector link.

[TsK|Xumari]

No, my response is a mini-tutorial to fix 99% of crashes and issues of the game, one of those VMR9:
"Options: All enabled (VMR9 is the most important)"
The nVidia Inspector is IF the game runs too fast, to limit the framerate from nvidia profile, way better than buggy FrameRate Compensation.

Nevermind NP

Can someone tell me how to delete this conversation! I wanted people to help me, not other people!!

[AshernFive]

Thanks to TsK|Xumari for the fix. Lara now has strange rippling patterns on her skin, but at least the game works!

[inkie_4_ever]

Thanks TsK|Xumari! your list of settings still works I wanted to play Angel of Darkness and the game didn't start. I used your recommended settings and now i can play!

[Tochter]

i can't change fps. it only appears 144 hz

[chris7959]

Me too, the game crashed when i run it

[philiprose]

finally was able to fix it!!! went in the game and put fastest on the graphics quality option in option then video, then got out of the game and check the VMR9 box and changed the monitor aspect to 1.78, didn´t change nothing more, and now it´s running just fine!
Lara was moving super slow with the settings as below, shouldn´t because I have a new PC but whatever lol thanks for the VMR9 bro, wouldn´t even be able to launch the game without it lol
