Game will not start

[Outsider]

Hi guys, has anyone else had the issue where the game flat out refuses to start? And how did you fix it?

Thanks

I'm having the same problem, gets to splash screen, says its loading, then crashes back to the desktop.

I don't even get that far, it briefly says I am playing it and that's it. I can't even get it installed, when I try to launch from the folder it says missing dll files

msvcp110.dll and msvcr110.dll. It just doesn't even want to run a first install, really starting to get on my nerves.

Just as an update, have found my problem was due to there were no speakers plugged in. I connected a set of headphones and the games started immediately, unplugged them and game failed to load.

Ha, what have game starting to do with plugged in speakers? Is it a joke? I have also heard about some controller and keyboard lagging? Is it true?

No, that doesn't work unfortunately.

COD4 used to have an issue like that. Mine still wont even load up at all, so resorted to playing on the Macbook :(

It wouldn't start for me either. I wasn't getting a splash screen or anything. I copied MSVCP110.dll and MSCVR110.dll into the ".../common/Geometry Wars 3 - Dimensions" folder from another game I had (Overgrowth Alpha). And it worked. If you try to run GW3.exe from the folder, it'll tell you what dll files you're missing.
Thanks for your help, Fiz Alpha :3

I'm having a similar issue but when I start up the game I get a black screen while music plays in the background.

that works locally, if you put those two files into the c:\windows folder though, every game you have will find them.

I'm unablle to launch this game either. Upon startup, my screen turns black briefly then crashes to desktop with the error "GW3.exe - this program has stopped working". When I check Event Viewer, Windows Applications, I see the following:

Faulting application name: GW3.exe, version: 0.0.0.0
Faulting module name: atiumdag.dll, version: 9.14.10.1061, time stamp: 0x546a3c3d

I'm running a Radeon R9 290
Win7 x64, all updates
1920x1080 x2 in extended desktop

I've tried completely uninstalling all AMD Drivers, rebooting, re-installing Catalyst 14.9 drivers, rebooting: no luck. Uninstalled, reboooted, installed 14.11 Betas, rebooted, nothing. Anyone else encounter this? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

YES! That worked! I had been copying those DLLs from the system32 folder with no luck. But taking them from AssettoCorsa worked a treat, see you online :)
