Middle-earth: Shadow of War Not working *Solved*

[Naryas]

*Fix*

Possible fix that worked for me for the crash on startup. Go to Documents\WB Games\Shadow Of War and then open up the file called render.cfg and at the very bottom set "Windowed" to "2.000000" Which sets it to Borderless. Not sure why but I cannot run the game in Fullscreen. When I try to switch the setting to full screen in game it just causes the game to immediately crash. Hope this might help some folks out there.

Cheers to Ocean Man for this fix

So I bought the game, like everyone else and pre-loaded it, came time for the game to officially release and steam took its time to unpack what I preloaded the night before. Finally I get the game completely ready to launch, I launch it and then Middle-earth: Shadow of War is not responding. So I decided to do all the normal troubleshooting, Restart Steam, Restart Computer, Verify Integrity of Game Cache, Check for any driver updates, I see that there was one which is meant to optimize Shadow of War. After installing it, the game still won't properly launch, stays as a black screen for a bit, then crashes saying that the game is not responding. As for the Crash message, this isn't a unique one supplying a crash code or anything, this is just the standard, not responding message. After doing all the standard trouble shooting I restarted my computer one more time just to make sure but still nothing. So I turned to Google, but as this is a very new game, I couldn't find a fix let alone anybody with the same issue.

Essentially, anyone know a fix?

Sorry for the life story.

weird i got the same error but it said msvcrt.dll was the faulty one. For some reason i can get it to launch when i dont have a controller plugged in, and i dont change any settings. I used my config from my other pc and thats what at least got it to launch. I have a 960M.

Most of these problems are DX related (Direct X api's). Which are usually resolved by updating video card driver. Nvidia released a new driver for Nvidia card users, in regards to Shadow of War (387.92)..

That driver is the problem. Roll back to driver 385.41 and game will launch

I just found my error. I use MSI Afterburner and with that RivaTuner Statistics Server.

In RivaTuner you just have to add the ShadowOfWar.exe and set "Application Detection Level" to "None" and it's done! It's finally starting now.
