GUYS WHY THE GAME CRASHING in loading screen to new game ???

[Kvek]

HELP LEASE !!!

[Chocoyote]

this is crash has nohing to do with 32 bit systems.. i have a 64bit one but after hitting new game and the circle shows up after the game stops working

[Reaper004]

All I can say is thank god I have a 64-bit PC, because I'm tired of incompetant developers who sneak crap like this in. Its like the Crysis 3 DirectX 11 crap, there is no reason what-so-ever to exclude such a large audience of gamer's by being lazy and not coding the game for 32-bit, and that's all it is, it's laziness. Do your damn job.

To be fair, they warned beforehand that 32bit systems were not properly supported.

To be fair, that's retarded.
And they could have posted a warning notice on the store page so I could have avoided this.

^ This. There should have been a bulletin under the name of the game on the steam page like SO many other games have on steam.

OK Guise. I found a (possible) workaround.

1. Go to Steam\SteamApps\common\Outlast\Binaries\Win32
2. Run OLGame.exe

It *seems* to work fine.

Amen dude. Amen. This will probably be the only redbarrell game I buy unfortunately.

OK. I spoke too soon. Apparently the real solution was to wait for a while until the letter pops up. Then close the letter. Wait for a little more (to get a savepoint). Then restart the game and press continue instead of new game. That skips the introduction (I assume the thing in the beginning is an introduction) and puts you in the level?

Nope, its still works like ♥♥♥♥. I am a poor student from Ukraine, I can barely afford a 10$ game. And this game DOES NOT WORK.
Tell me more about piracy, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Right. Just retested. Turn on subtitles. Start new game. You'll see some subtitles. Then you'll see a letter. Close that. Then you'll see some camera interface. When that's over you'll get a black screen with a dot in the middle. Look at lower left side of the screen. If it says "Game Saved" you're fine. Go to menu. Click continue. The game will play from first checkpoint.

PS: Be very, very patient, apparently it's an intro movie.

To be honest, I am also one of those who have 32-bit system and yes same problem - my fault I didn´t notice the fact it is not compatible. Planning to buy a whole new PC, but I didn´t expect that I will buy a game which is not compatible with system, which MANY ppl are still using (I am on Win 7 32-bit). I bought several new games recently (and not only on Steam) and playing them without problems on my old PC (or I should name it "toaster" as somebody mentioned here on forums hehe), I only upgraded GPU, but still no problems with compatibility, just playing with lower graphic settings. It is just ridiculous, but I hope there will be some patch soon (hope this will not be a Blizzard-Activision soon tm :-))

Additional Notes: * 32 bits systems are not officially supported, but should work if configured to provide 3Gb of user-mode address space. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb613473

You were saying??

I am confident my PC can run the game. Why would I check the specs ? Certainly not to find a warning.
And that's not a warning notice like the one I meant, so stuff it !

1. You PC obviously can't run the game
2. You should check the specs because that is what a mature and intelligent customer does
3. You didn't find it but it was there
4. The world doesn't have to comply to *your* likings

Why don't you, stuff it, instead? Whatever that means.

I'm not defending the developers btw, but if people wouldn't blindly rush to preorder stuff instead of waiting and see how it is going to pan out, I mean, it's not like there isn't a 100 similar cases out there.
