Cannot find the Hirez Installation

[ApocalypseMeow]

I get this message when I try to play the game. What does this even mean, and how do I fix this?

Same issue here

You're not the only one.

Some users have found that this helps:

With the launcher open, try running the Diagnostic Tool (Settings, Troubleshoot) and run a validate and repair. If this doesn’t fix the issue we recommend uninstalling from Steam, and reinstalling.

If this doesn't work, you can also try to run the installhirezservice.exe found in your steam directory under \steamapps\common\SMITE\Binaries\Redist.

Find a solution go in steamapps\common\SMITE\Binaries\Redist run installhirezservice.exe
Then after the installation it should works

THis doesn't work for me, it keeps failing to start the service after installation

It's probably because i had the beta still installed or something.
Running the installservice uninstalled the old one and reinstalled the new.
That worked. Then i get the create account window.... i have a steam account, merge it, i don't like it when games do this. I don't like having 50 accounts which is why i use steam.

when i do the steamapps\common\SMITE\Binaries\Redist run installhirezservice.exe it says
failed to install Hi-rez studios authenticate and update service. how do i fix?

the validate/repair is not working for multiple people. for 2 days mine kept saying repair servers are down try again later by the time it tried to repair. would first flash repairing 0.0% then just turned into saying smite is damaged needs repair. red text appeared saying the repair servers are down.

i have done every solution suggest. some fixed some problems but eventually when i finally got the launcher to work properly. the game crashed after it pops open the box on the screen that shows the heroes before game enters full screen.

i even made sure to do a clean install after removing it from steam before i reinstalled. no luck.

i ended up removing from steam. used hi rez uninstaller again. i just went with the launcher from smite website and the game runs just fine with that.


i have a feeling maybe has to do with me being on vista(32 bit) the one time the game itself gave me a crash log it showed .dlls in system32 could not be found but they are in the folder. i think even though i had smite and steam set to run as admin some how it was not allowed to access my system32 files so it thought did not exist?

just a guess. i made a post yesterday with my windows crash log hope it helps figure out the issue.

till then i will stick to the original launcher.

keep up the good work.
