The game crashes the moment you open the game.

I just bought it and the moment I start the game it automatically closes... :/

me

mine too, I tried verifying the files and reinstalling it but it won't launch. it just opens and immediately closes

me too

i figured out that if you dont focus the window it doesnt crash but that's useless because as soon as you focus the window to try to play it will crash, but at least it's a little bit of info lmao

Yep. Opens a white screen then it closes right away. No error messages.

for what it's worth i figured out that if i force it to be windowed through the program dxwnd AND i dont take focus out of the window, i can get to the main menu and move around in it but then it crashes when i try to get into practice or into the game, it also crashes if i unfocus it and focus it again

Currently launches, gets to 'Now Loading....' for a few seconds, then closes without an error window.

I don't even get a 'Now loading...' It just closes the moment the window appears.

GOT IT WORKING - when trying to launch the game directly it gives you an error that effectively says DirectX 9 is not installed. Because the game has been in development for 15 years, it makes sense that an older graphics API is used. You can get the DirectX9 installer here:

No change here. Still launches and crashes.

This fixed it for me, thanks!

I've been having the same issues too, despite trying everything I could, even all possible solutions in the replies here.

My current PC specs are an i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, a GTX 1050 Ti and 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, so it should be able to run the game fine without that bug me thinks
