Game Won't Install or Run when installed.

[Xantherous]

I've tried everything: using different drives, checking disk for errors, even uninstalling and re-installing. Sometimes when I check the files through steam verify I am told there are errors.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I've also was able to upload a different game on my usual drive. No problems there with disk space or anything else.

Check your anti-virus software.

hi im having a similar problem was able to get on it earlier today but now it keeps coming up with the pop up saying it failed to start (missing exetcutable)

[Xantherous]

Now it's saying that I don't have enough disk space, even though both drives have plenty.

Before, I had the same message as Michura4.

to zedraxio: Well, the good news is that my anti-virus software didn't block it.

It also says that python27.dll and SDL2.dll is missing if I try to simply run the program.

I'm thinking that, if that is you HDD broken? Just like, with some broken factors or what.

I'm having the exact same problem with my laptop and i tested it on my mothers laptop and had the same problem but it downloaded fine on my fathers mac. So unless I surrounded by failing hard drives is not a hard drive problem.

I sent an email to both steam and the game devs but so far the only response I've gotten is from the devs is telling me that renpy games are always marked as virus so now I've put in every firewall excuse and exception that i can think of, I'll let you know if it works

I'm having the same issue :/

Can you guys with the issues verify the missing files in the game's library?

You can browse your files by right-clicking the game in the steam client > click properties > local files > browse local files. The game folder should pop up. Then check under lib > and search for python27.dll and SDL2.dll to see if they're there or missing. Also, are your computers a PC or a Mac?

[Xantherous]

Unfortunately, neither file is coming up.

I'm on a PC with Windows 10. I've also attempted to upload the game on different harddrives (one in the computer, one external) with no success.

As far as Jokerfish's comment goes, I will add that other renpry games work fine on my PC. My case is not a firewall problem either.

How many files do you have in the windows-i686 folder? I have 27. Just want to be sure you're not missing anything else.

I've uploaded the missing files onto mediafire.

You unzip it, then move both files into the windows-i686 folder in the library. Tell me if it works or not. Hope it works though.

[Xantherous]

Thank you for doing that.

What I had found was that in my windows-i686 note there was another application icon for Blood Code. I ran it and had slightly better luck.

I notepad message ran instead saying, "I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game/screens.rpy", line 9, in <module>
SteamInitError: 'Please run game "Blood Code" from Steam.'"

Steam constantly gives me errors when I try to run it from their side. If there was a way to bypass running the game on Steam, I'd love to try it.

[Kupokko]

Only focus on the .exe from the main folder. Did you get the same issue from the main .exe file? Or was it the same as before?

[Xantherous]

When I try to run the file direct, without Steam, it still claims the two files are missing although they've been fixed.

When I try to run through Steam, it says there is a disk write error (already checked all disks, everything is good-to-go).

[Kupokko]

It seems to be a problem unique to Windows 10.

- Try changing the .exe's compatibility through properties > compatibility > run this program in compatibility for > windows 7 (or XP, whichever may work). See if it runs.

- Update direct x: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=35

- Update C++

• uninstall Visual C++ Redis 11.0
  
• reinstall it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

- Update your graphics drivers

- Other than that, looks like you'll need to look up other ways to get it to work or contact the developer directly. Windows 10 seems to have given people trouble when it comes to games.

Game can only run by "Blood Code/BloodCode.exe", the .exe in windows-i686 is not able for run.
As so far, the "Unknown Error" we recieved, is most by security software deleted or blocked the exe in the root directory.
