[SOLVED] This game won't start

[NovaGB]

I just bought and installed this game and windows just shows the blue loading circle then nothing happens.

I don't have any problems with any other game, i istalled the Direct X stuff and the Unreal Engine thing.

My PC is...

Windows 7 home premium X64
8gb ram
4tb hdd
Nvidia 560 GTX TI

I already solved my problem. Just installed the "Alien Breed 2" and the first shall work.

what kind of sourcery is this?

[Two Clicks]

Probably a bad install or steambot not running any 3rd s/w like physicx etc.... or running them and corrupting the installation. Always verify an install and re-run any 3rd party s/w for the game to be sure that you have a full installation before doing anything else.

Try installing physx by getting it from nvidias site. I got it running after that :)

[Regicas de Falchi]

yes have same problem but fastly resolved..: you need only download from NVIDIA site Physx and instal and after this all worked ;)

Try installing the demo for Alien Breed 2. I got an error saying I was missing the PhysX driver, downloaded it, installed it and now they both work. :D

I am experiencing the same difficulty, However when I tried to email the address above I got a failed address message.

If after going through all of the above, you still have a problem, try below.

I'm not sure if anyone's interested anymore (especially because this is already marked as solved), but since this is the top post I could find on the googles, I'll post my fix here.

Like everyone else, I was having the problem of my launcher not starting after multiple PhysX, DirectX, and even Unreal Engine 3 to no avail.

After reading online and connecting the pieces, I found that Nvidia PhysX isn't very compatible with AMD cards (what I have).

To fix I went into the game's DefaultEngine.ini file, located here for me (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Alien Breed Impact\AlienBreedEp1Game\Config), right clicked, and opened up with notepad++ (a free software I use for coding). There I found a line "bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=False" and changed it to "bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=True". I saved the file, tried starting the game from the steam launcher and got a loading screen. :). I tried reverting it back to "False" after it ran to make sure that was the fix, but the game still worked and I'm not 100% confident that I can explain why. Hopefully this helps everyone to play this game though :)
