Game won't launch. How to fix?

Just bought the game, and it won't run for me. Even with low spec mode. It won't laucn at all.

It's your anti-virus, you're likely using a free/cheap one like Windows Defender, Avast, or AVG.

You need to add exceptions/exclusions for SFV's game folders to get the game running.

okay, now when I launch it gives me this: DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to rn the engine.

Ater a search, it sems that Iwoul dned tup update my graphics drivers. Unfortunately, they're already up to date. I guess I'm just f***ed then. Time to get a refund...

Your gfx card doesn't support dx11, probably very old. That's unfortunate...

This is why they list the system requirements on the store page.

That's unfortunate bro, at least you won't have much trouble getting a refund though :/

all i know is that it's from 2013. That's the laptop's MFG date. I guess I really do need a gaming rig. If I start saving up now, i should be able to afford one when grapics cards come down in price.

Freaking miners are wrecking the market right now, driving up the prices of nearly every generation of graphics cards.

Good luck though man.

okay, now i'm thinking someting else is wrong. I ran dxdiag and it says i'm running DirectX 12. And for some reason, Cuphead is giving me trouble now. It played fine just yesterday.

We can't help you without knowing your hardware.

We need to know your GPU name and model, your CPU, and your RAM.

Maybe you need to fix some of those windows issues. Specially since you have DX12...

I bought my gpu at 230$, but now it cost like 270$...

That's what's killing you, and killing you hard. You need to at least be in the GTX series for this game.

The bare mininmum to run this game in lower quality settings require a GTX 570:

Nearly 200% more powerful than what you have, and that won't even get you to the high settings either.

They actually reccomend a GTX 960 (which is higher than mine tbh) which is 300% more powerful than what you're using.


Same goes for the CPU, but the difference is not so extreme:
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-4500U-vs-Intel-Core-i3-4160/2743vs2816

you just need something over 50% more powerful than what you have now.

Not something I can afford right now. This thingdoes do welf or a laptop as old as it is though.

At least I got my problems with cuphead solved. Seems to be a recurring problem with Unity based games... awll, at least THAT'S easy to fix.

Does look like I was approved for the refund though. The cash is now pending to be returned to my steam wallet.

Good news then, sorry about the game though, it's best to get a dedicated gaming rig over a laptop for this kind of stuff.

People are bypassing the cost of components by just simply buying a pre-built rig (which for the first time ever, is actually the cheaper option due to the inflating prices of components)

Agreed, my current PC is ancient(you can get it for like 100$), but thanks to the GPU it can handle this game pretty well. I'm confident I can run other fighting games at max settings like this one.
