Game refuses to launch, please help

[D.I.r.a Besaba]

I double click my shortcut on desktop or click play in my library, the window saying "preparing to launch ggxxacr" comes up, then the window disappears after about a second and nothing happens. Getting really upset here... Anyone know what to do?

[Shini]

Hi, please kindly restart your pc and try again, sorry for the inconvenience.

[D.I.r.a Besaba]

I already did, same problem

[FujiKun]

having same issue here...need help plz

[Shini]

please kindly indicate your computer specs and video card/graphics board, we'll note work on it.

[Non Sequitur Snowman]

What system specs/OS are you running on? I'm curious if there might be some correlation if you're both having similar problems. Possibly running in a compatibility mode may help, or forcing it to boot in windowed mode. (I think it does that anyways, though, at first)

[D.I.r.a Besaba]

It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop, I made sure that everything surpassed the posted system requirements before even purchasing.

Hey guys, same problem here.
I was using Windows 7 yesterday and the game runs ok. Today I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and the game just stopped working. All I got is "GGXXAC+R has stopped working."

OS: Windows 8.1
Processor: Athlon II X2 645
Memory: 4GB
Video card: Radeon HD5750

[Non Sequitur Snowman]

Can anyone else confirm whether or not they have gotten GGAC+R to work on an 8.1 OS? I'm currently using 7, so I can't vouch either way. In the meantime, maybe try to run the game in compatability mode with Windows 7?

[denka.]

Forget it guys. The game just started working again randomly.

[D.I.r.a Besaba]

I'm still having the same issue.... >.<

[D.I.r.a Besaba]

After running compatability troubleshooter, the error says the program can't start because d3dx9_42.dll is missing from my computer. It goes on to say I should attempt to reinstall to fix it. Reinstalling, will give an update afterwards.

[D.I.r.a Besaba]

Tried reinstalling and the same issue is happening. Still get the same error, and attempting to run it under windows 7 compatability does not resolve the issue.

[ling.li.sol]

FOR people who can't launch the game, make sure you have download and install the DirectX 9c.

GGXX use many old DX9 files that's missing in the newer version.

[D.I.r.a Besaba]

Currently attempting this fix, will advise on status.

[D.I.r.a Besaba]

YES! It works! Sidewinder loops inc!
