!!!Game fail to launch, common fixes!!!Up 31/01/2014

[Lord P.E]

Hello guys! I will try to create a list of sollutions if the game does not launch.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1- Problem: Common problem is find when you havent instal an unreal engine game before.
It is because one of the executable dont launch at the start. It will be fixed for launch but for those facing this kind of problem here is the path:

D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\StrikeVector\Binaries\Redist
In this folder you need to launch UE3Redist.exe

That should fix the problem

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2- Problem: Show the splash box for Strike Vector, load up, and then kick back to Steam and audio will stop. The UDK.exe will remain in the taskbar, but when clicked, it will quickly appear and retreat to the taskbar.

Look for this folder:
D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\StrikeVector\UDKGame\Config\DefaultSystemSettings.ini

Open the file with a text editor
Change ResX to 640 and ResY to 480
Launch Strike Vector
Set up the right resolution for your screen in the option pannel

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3- Problem: Show the splash box for Strike Vector, load up, and then kick back to Steam and audio will stop. The UDK.exe will remain in the taskbar, but when clicked, it will quickly appear and retreat to the taskbar.

Go on your install directory StrikeVector/UDKGAME/config/
open UDKStrikeVector.ini and check if you can set those values

[harriergame.HarrierLocalPlayer]
....
_GfxOptionTab=(Id=GOId_Fullscreen,Value=0,StringValue=)

to something like :
[harriergame.HarrierLocalPlayer]
....
_GfxOptionTab=(Id=GOId_Fullscreen,Value=127,StringValue=)


Zikronious solution works too (thanks a lot :) ):

If you can't Alt+Enter you can also modify: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\StrikeVector\UDKGame\Config\UDKSystemSettings.ini

Change:
Fullscreen=True
to:
Fullscreen=False

Save > Launch game. This will suffice for me until a proper solution is found or the game is patched.

(more solutions later)

i have found a solution to the problem, when the game crashes when the Unreal Technology video starts (you only hear a quick sound and the game crashes immediatly).

at the bottom i wrote the solution, the only problem left is that my menu is heavily distorted (only the menu, playing on a server works somewhat), and i dont know why.

HHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! It finally works the first fix nailed it, and got me in!! great work man thanks guys for busting your asses to get that ♥♥♥♥ taken care of.

I love this game :)

The second fix doesn't work for me Any ideas?

Does it have anything to do with my two screens of different resolutions?

[DYSIOD☰]

I was able to run the game after experiecing problems in example two (unable to load from taskbar) by running in Windows 7 compatability mode + admin. I'm running Windows 8.0

[Totes McGoats]

I did both. The good news is I started to see the UDK logo play. The bad news, I then go kicked out of the game and it minimized again.

EDIT: And now when I try to get back in again it resumes having the initial issue before. The problem outlined in fix 1 is still persisting.

Same here; 2 screens, different resolutions, and the fix does not work...

EDIT: Disabling/unplugging the second screen does not work either... fix please! or add a proper windoed mode ( wich i can access without starting the game in the best case | -windowed in steam startup properties does not work... )

EDIT 2: found a fix... hammering the left mouse button as soon as the game starts.... so it does not get minimized.... but srsly.... you guys can do it better....

[Sahara Vice]

I did both suggestions but when it goes to the logo in the middle of the screen, it does nothing, I have the right requirements, some recommended.

[SuperMoumout]

Is something "moving", like text displaying "compiling shaders" or whatever?
