Geometry dash not starting!

[videoplayer]

Whenever I double-click my shortcut or press play, nothing happens. I have an i5 processor, which I know isn't the problem. It says I've played for a minute, but I never saw the loading screen for the game. Somebody please help me, I really want to play Geometry Dash!

[No problem.]

I finaly succeed to repair it! I don't know what I've done to the game, but, I tried to update the BIOS, and to replace some files into C:\windows\System32 and into C:\windows\SysWoW64.
Hope updating BIOS is the solution!

How did you update it?

I wouldn't advise updating your BIOS, if something goes wrong, you can brick your PC. Just wait for 2.0, it should be out in a few days and will hopefully fix some of these issues.

I think your right... I got an error that says: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. that link for more: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms854226.aspx.
but at least I don't got it a second time!

do you know WinFlash? it is the program I used to flash my BIOS. you can download it from your pc's brand's site in the "support" category. if there is no "support" category, go to the one named "drivers". after that, you can write your pc's serial number in the search bar. me, I have an ASUS X550ZE, so I should go to asus's website (support category) and writing for X550ZE in the search bar. then, go to BIOS-Utilities, and download the WinFlash software.

to download your BIOS, it's normaly on the same page!

when finished downloading, you just have to run WinFlash (unzip the BIOS before), find the path to your BIOS file, and if all goes right, click on flash! (don't be scared if you see your pc restarting and doing some loading screen)

anyway, dont do that, cuz maybe it is not the solution, and it's maybe just a coincidence if that worked for me, or maybe I've done others things to my pc.

if you do it, I wish you Good Luck!

Hi,

- Can you tell me what graphics card you have?

- Do you get any error messages or does it just not show anything?

- Have you tried restarting the computer? (Not sure if you meant you restarted Steam only)

- In the Geometry Dash Steam folder there is a folder called "CommonRedist", try installing/repairing the files in there.

- Try launching the game in windowed mode. Open Steam and go to your game library, right click on Geometry Dash and select properties. Click on "set launch options" and write windowed.

Let me know how it goes and sorry for the inconvenience!

I don't know which graphics card i own
Yes, but i t only says "GeometryDash.exe" has stopped working.
Yes, and steam as well.
I've tried to put it in windowed mode in the "set launch options" but it still crashed.

Upon further inspection, ive ran the GeometryDash.exe file as a administrator and it reads, Title of error: "GeometryDash.exe - Application Error"
Body of the error: The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click OK to terminate the application". Any help Rob?

Hi guys, i seem to have found a way to sort out the problem (for me at least)

*My problem was that the game simply would not load, with no erros or messages*

Firstly, locate the geometry dash file: D://Steam/steamapps/common/Geometry Dash

Right click on the application, and go to properties. From there, go to the compatibility tab, and change the compatibility mode to windows 98. Open the game.
The game should now open, but the sound will stutter. Don't worry about this.

Next, go to the options within geometry dash, and tick the "custom songs folder" option. Save and close the game. Then, try re-loading the game back in normal mode (by undoing the compatibility mode), and see if it works.

Worth a try, at least.

Thanks so much! I've had this problem for a couple of days and I tried everything, and this works, thank you!:)

I found out its near impossible to fix it if u have windows 10 ;_; forever sad Cuz i has windows 10

[stork]

have you got OSX el capitan? Because it didn't work when I upgraded, most likely because of the new trashy (security) features

[Suggoram]

I just got the new OS X El Capitan and now Geometry dash crashes upon being opened. Has anyone found a fix to this?

[buttsack]

i dont think anyone found a fix for Windows 10 or OS X El Capitan That works for everyone
