Game is not launching

[P.Diddy]

Wtf do I do?

[Guapo Gary]

this worked perfectly! thank you!

if you mean fix multithreading try section on Known solutions to game issues in:

perhaps post your hardware specs and maybe someone else reading this thread knows what settings you need. right now you could be playing on windows 10, 11, linux, steam deck, a mac.

steam -> help -> system information copy paste all here

you can also run some monitoring programs - cpu/gpu/disk and see if some other app/program/overlay is using up resources.

delete the core tweaks you did above. I have 16 logical processors 8 physical processors and game runs without tweaks. tweaks are for the 64 core 128 thread processors


laptop. running on the intel graphics maybe? make sure its using the nviidia card.
game ran on my old 2011 desktop with a 750ti.

post 22 .... you changed something to use less cores ... remove whatever you changed/added

[cheshirm]

call them anyway. if they say no they cannot help, try the msi forums

same issue,waiting for reply from the official

[cheshirm]

noticed this
DirectX Driver Name: nvldumd.dll
Driver Version: 31.0.15.3141
DirectX Driver Version: 31.0.15.3141
Driver Date: 3 16 2023
OpenGL Version: 1.1

1.1 was released in 1995. you should have 4.6. perhaps download the latest driver. uninstall graphics card driver with something like DDU. reboot. install latest driver. reboot. run steam system info again. that line should read
OpenGL Version: 4.6

might not solve the current issue but 1.1 is wrong

I don't know what version of Direct X corresponds to that driver version, but based on past experience with other games, using a version of Direct X that's too new could cause a problem like this. AwesomeAlexa, maybe try following method 1 in the "100% Working fix for Stuttering" thread, and see if that fixes your problem?

In response to the "too many cores" issue, that actually makes a lot of sense in hindsight. The Thief series has a similar problem, where the games wouldn't launch, unless you restricted them to use a single core.

[Rethromono]

The easiest solution I found was to get a hold of the non directors cut version and just play that. This version is seemingly riddled with bugs and is a mess to get it to run perfectly.

that didn't help for me still so laggy

Try this post: " 100% working fix for stuttering " The metode 1 worked for me. https://steamcommunity.com/app/238010/discussions/0/5190945662886275681/

check video and graphics settings

Do you still have this issue? Does your CPU have a large number of cores? If so, this patch helps: https://mega.nz/file/H0ow3SRY#RmenBvpMjqCV00ts-IVKFuSvtahCj0URhAYKjvImdLA

Basically, this mod removes all telemetry from the game (which causes the game to take a while to close), and it includes the relevant fix by Doomhack as a toggle before you patch your DEHRDC exe to solve start-up crashes. It can be found on PCGamingWiki and here as well: https://www.gog.com/forum/deus_ex_human_revolution_directors_cut/crash_freeze_on_completion_of_first_takedown_or_successful_hack/post21

Alternatively (as seen on PCGW):
1. Open DXHRDC.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
2. Go to offset 0xD3165 and replace the following bytes E8 46 F0 FF FF with 90 90 90 90 90

Just bought the game to give the series a try, wanted to since childhood but never got to it. Was met with this instant crash upon launch but the patch you posted works perfectly, game launches now without having to mess about with any core affinity options.

Thank you.
