Goat Simulator Issues

[opidawse]

So I just bought Goat Simulator today, and, well I'm having some trouble.

At first it kept telling me "Ran out of video memory! Exiting...".
I looked at the minimal settings and I easily have enough video memory/RAM.
I'm currently running Windows XP 32-bit, using an Nvidia GeForce 430 with 4GB RAM. (1GB in video memory)
I've tried all sorts of different methods that people had success with yet they failed.
The error log keeps having the same error:

If you have a fix or can explain the cause that would be helpful, although if it is my OS, Windows XP discontinues support in three days, but I'll have it for some time still after that.

xp service pack 3?

[Pewpewmoar]

Have you tried reinstalling DirectX? Looks like the first Critical error that's being thrown up is a DirectX one.

You can find it in your Steam/Common/GoatSimulator/_CommonRedist folder.

And does DxDiag throw up any issues? Start>Run>DxDiag

Yes.

My DxDiag looks fine, and I just reinstalled Direct X.

It seems to keep giving me a critical error on creating a Creating a Pixel Shader Direct3DDevice?

Wondering if you ever figured this out. Goat Sim always worked fine for me but now with the update I cannot load the new level. Only the old one, new rules and achievements and all. Weirdest thing.

Nope, it doesn't even run on my PC. Never figured it out. It bugs me because they say they won't fix many bugs because they're hilarious, and if that's the circumstance, then that's not exactly fair.

Have you tried verifying the integrity of the game cache for goat simulator? if not just right click goat simulator, click properties, then local files tab and verify the integrity of the game cache should be the last thing to select.

I tried it a while ago, but I'll try it again.

Edit: Didn't work.

I'm having this issue as well, but instead it just says GoatGame-Win32-Shipping.exe had an error. The game launches to a black full-screen and then goes to Windowed and closes.

That's what's been happening to me too since the last update.

[Ded]

Same issue here, and same with a lot of people. I can only assume the devs are working on it. It seems to be a difficult problem to track down though.

[Rank2Police]

I'm having an issue where it opens but then immediately minimizes and I can't play. I bought it a week ago and haven't been able to get it to work once. Any ideas?

Edit: Works fine on my windows 8 64 bit but not my windows 7 64 bit...

I'm not sure. For me; the game will not boot on my Windows XP 32-bit machine, but on my brother's PC which is Windows 7 64-bit, it runs completely fine.

Hopefully the solution or a patch that will fix this comes soon.
