Game wont start

[Du]

My friend cant play right now, she starts the game but nothing comes up, no black screen, no sound, nothing, but it still says shes playing it on steam. Is this the same crash some people have been reporting?

[Sofie]

I don't think I've seen this problem reported before - is she sure that there's no window for Ori? not even behind Steam, for instance? Is there a process still open for it, even when it doesn't show up?

I'd suggest her to verify game cashe and maybe check how much free RAM she has.

[Du]

She can see the game in the process manager but thats it. But I believe its related to her graphic card. In another topic someone reported a similar problem using Radeon HD 5800, my friend has a 5700. Both cards have enough ram (1gb) and support dx11. I told her to update the drivers but no luck. I guess its a issue with the game, gonna have to wait for a patch, hopefully..

Bumping this thread, anyone have the same problem/has a solution?

[MATVALDER]

I have the same problem . who got a solution ?

[deport]

I have the same problem. It says that I'm in game, while nothing is happening.

Did you try forcing the game to use DX9? You can set the command line argument in steam:

-force-d3d9

[deport]

Sorry, I don't know what that is.

[Theolyn]

Go to your library. Right click on Ori > Properties. Select "Set launch option" and type in: -force-d3d9

then try to start the game again.

I'll be re-install the game first. If that doesn't fix it, I'll try your tip.

I had an issue with my firewall, you need to grant it access otherwise it won't load anything.

I just bought the game and I have the same issue with Nvidia. Could someone fix it?

Bumping it up too.
Have the same issue..
It won't start,
1) can see it in the task manager list running (also steam platform says its running + and the playtime is being counted)
2) administrator right didn't work (both steam and ori.exe)
3) launch option , -force-d3d9 didn't work either (also directx fresh install)
4) fresh install steam / ori / steamapps folder deletion didn't worked.
5) also installing some other games for distributable runtime software test / run different game (CS:GO) was also tested but working fine

if the problem cannot be solved, I but have no choice to refund it..

P.S tried on another friends laptop by installing steam ..was working fine..

Hi, I bought this game one year ago hoping that this problem would be resolved soon... As I read this thread, it looks like no one found a solution to this. For me as well, even though i have been re-installing this game over and over again, nothing works and my number of "hours" are being counted. Nevertheless, i hope this will eventually be fixed.


Here are my infos on the matter :

When i try to launch the game, it says that the "App is already running". And it looks like I am playing it (judging by my Steam Status). Again, no black screen, no sound: nothing. The thing is, i do have a third party (ESET NOD32 Antivirus). I do know that ESET and Steam arent really best friends but this is the first time something like this happens to me...

Here's a few Steam/ESET thing I tried :
- cleared & verify the gaming cache
- cleared local file to download the game again
- turned on/off Windows 7 multiple times already
- gaming mode is off
- Ive put the Steam folder and the Ori folder in my autorised web url access thing (pressing F5 and such)
- i tried contacting Steam about it, but theyre not answering (its not like i waited a long time already, but i cant wait to start playing and its been a while that im stuck on this problem)

I did check my Task Manager :
- Looks like OatBF is not appearing in my applications (running)
- OatBF does appear as processed -- Ori.exe *32 l 1808K l Ori

Any ideas ? Thanks a lot ! \/ cant wait to play (if i ever will be able to..)

Ps. I just dont want to cancel my NOD32 protection if possible.
