Strange start up failure.

[PoliticsGaming]

I just recieved SuperPower 2 from a friend. Both of us are recieving the same thing. When we start the game, the game opens and closes in less than a second. What is this? Is anyone else getting this?

I have the same problem

[Ashe]

Same. Hoping somebody will find a fix.

[dmbottoms]

game seems to be the same as from 2004

Please backup, older versions of SP2, delete the older files completly off the your computer and restart.

Once you restart, install the steam version of SP2.

doesnt start for me too...gamewindow is blinking up and vanishes...tried steam file check, said one file downloading...keeps behaviour ;)

i have a fresh win7 64bit installation (due to crash :P ), all drivers are the newest...graphics card is AMD hd6970 and processor is phenom II 940be. also i have 8gigs ram, should be running though.

Do you have an older version of SuperPower 2 on your PC?

It works on my computer fine, I have Windows 7, 64bit up to date with everything fixed, can you give the developers more info on what is actually wrong, I also have 8GB of RAM, I have a dual core processor and its working. I also have an AMD graphics card. What I think it is your security software is blocking the joshua.exe file from launching as its detected it as a virus which is a common issue in SuperPower 2, you have to unblock it.

I guess something doesnt work with the auto detection of video settings. Can you run the video config tool and set it to a resolution that your system definately supports. Also background programs can cause issues.

I already set it. I have an I7, 16GB, NVIDIA GTX760, 64-bit, Intel core computer. It is still doing the same thing.

We're on it, looks like a small compatibility issue with the video player we hadn't caught. We'll have a fix for it shortly.

Thank you very much!

Ok, it looks like it's a little weirder than what I thought. It seems that the exec can't connect to the file called "client.dll" that should be present in your "MODS/SP2" folder. This is a straight connect as it could be, normally works for everyone all the time ever. But for some reason, Windows doesn't allow it. It could be because you don't have these files installed (which would mean a failed install from steam), or that the file is downloaded but corrupted (same problem), or that you don't have permission to connect to the file (shoudln't), or that Windows is broken (shouldn't as well). So it might take a minute or 2 more to pinpoint what is going on and fix it, but we will. Thanks for your patience.

We'd like a volunteer that experiences this to help us fix this issue, we'll closely work with you today by email. Please contact us at [e-mail]. Thanks!

Thank you for your help, and hope you find and fix the problem.
