Alpha Protocol in Windows 10

[Braiko94]

Bought recently, Alpha Protocol, and installed on a laptop with Windows 7. The game started, but since the laptop is weak, the game slowed down a little bit. A few days ago I bought a new laptop and installed Windows 10, but the game does not start (the graphics card driver to the new).

Weird, I'm running it on Win 10 now so i really don't think it's your OS. I'm not aware of any significant hardware issues for this game but I have not had any issues on two separate systems.

Have you tried verifying the files in your options in your Steam library?

Uninstall Nvidia physx, verify game cache, and run the program again. It should reinstall physx and work again. I had the same problem after upgrading to Windows 10.

Running Win 10 and I get ramdom crashes while playing. I did the whole uninstall physx, verify, uninstall the entire game and reininstall etc. No change I still get the crashes.
I've googled my fingers to the bone trying to find a fix and finally just decided to play through anyway.

No BSOD or any kind of error message? Have you updated your graphics card driver software?

[steelwars101]

No error message at all except the crash and then "The program has stopped working" box.

Yep, I uninstalled my graphics drivers and reinstalled and they are up to date, ran in compatability mode etc, etc. Really, I've tried everything I could think of on my end.

At this point I'm assuming that AP just doesn't play well with my hardware for whatever reason but I'm so far above the specs required to play it I kinda get an ironic chuckle out of it. :)

Meh, I'm old school enough to know that sometimes it just happens this way. I'm not complaining or begging for help here I'm just commenting on the thread. :)

You might be missing C++ Redistributables. I'm on Win 10 myself and I only recently started playing Alpha Protocol. I do play a lot of older games and I have a crapload of various versions of C++ redistribs from 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2013. The same thing happened to me with the Deus Ex series.
This is the list of distributables that I have installed if you get frisky and decide to try some whack-a-mole troubleshooting

That's a serious security risk, you should use the latest version of each branch not multiple versions of each.

You can get the latest version of each branch here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003

And uninstall older variants.

Also you don't need all those branches to play a single game, each application/game uses a certain branch, depending on what version they were developed in.

This is the proper way to have Redistributable installed: http://i.imgur.com/Z6DD6mu.jpg
