Cabela's Big Game Hunter Pro Hunts will not start

[Lets Roll]

Downloaded "Cabela's Big Game Hunter Pro Hunts" a few weeks ago...
No issues until today. Worked this morning, but this afternoon, it will not start.
After popup says "Preparing to launch Cabela's Big Game Hunter Pro Hunts" nothing happens. I followed instructions to install/update DX and rebooted, but still a no-go.

1 - Go to your Steam GameList
2 - Right click Cabela's Big Game Hunter Pro
3 - Chose 'Properties'
4 - Click tab 'Local Files'
5 - Click 'Browse Local File'
6 - Right click the file name : '!!!!!!!!!!!bgh_2014_windowed.bat'
7 - Chose 'Edit'
8 - Change your game Resolution where it says ' -videomode 'to whatever you are using.
9 - Close the window and save the infos when asked.


There is no edit option... besides, there shouldn't be a need to be a quzzy programmer to play a game that should work from supplier.. what a rip

Try start game with '!!!!!!!!!!!bgh_2014_windowed.bat'
or Go to Steam Library, Right click on Cabela's Big Game Hunter Pro Hunts
Choose 'Properties', Click 'Set Launch Options', Paste "-windowed -videomode:1280x720 -lang:eng"

Change your resolution after '-videomode:'
Set resolution lower than your monitor resolution
Game not showup if you set same your monitor resolution

Thanks for the advice Art, but still no joy.. resolution 1280X720 is well below my current monitor setting and I tried a lower one but still nothing

Additionally, the game played for apporx 2 weeks before this issue on my current settings as well, Wolfenstein plays fine

Try delete config file in C:\Users\YOUR_PC_USENAME\Saved Games\Big Game Hunter 2014 and start again

Hi to all
Just got mine working again but it is from the start again what I did was look for saved game in users folder and deleted the game it then started ok but like i said its from the beginning again.

I had same problem. My problem was: I didnt have plugged in speakers/headphones. So (as far as my logic got there) part of gamecode made it crash, while trying to start the game. Mby it will help some1 else.

I'm officially done with it .....& STEAM. My Cabella's Big Game Hunt quit launching months ago & I have never been able to get any working resolution from STEAM. Just last week, I bought a new desktop (Windows 7), ...installed STEAM and the CBGH and it worked for about a week then also stopped launching! No more time to waist on it or STEAM! If I ran my online business's customer service like STEAM, I'd be out of business!!!

Here is a fix for the not launching at first try.
I had the same problem with this game so i went to steamlibrary and tried to launch game there.
It said i was missing a MSVCR100.dll file.
You can download the file from internet and copy it to the cabela pro hunts folder. Works for me.
Heres a link to the .dll file if youre too lazy to use google: http://www.dllrepair.com/dll/download.php/msvcr100.dll/msvcr100.htm

Quick fix wiithout losing all of your progress and starting over....
Right click saved games folder and restore to a previous version, closest to when the problem started. Easier to catch up on a few hunts than to start from scratch.
