Cant run it

[steelmidnight]

I keep getting the message error

"oops game crashed

The crash report folder named 2017-07-24_072846 next to game executable. Would be great if you could send this to the developers. Thanks.

And I say, "Would be great if I could run the damn game. Thanks."

I know nothing about all this stuff. All I know is this USED to run, and now it dont. What gives?

did you tried to reinstal?

Try to Validate game files. If that doesn't work, send us the crash report folder and output.log.

i tried to reinstall and check installation..nothing worked.

it crashes at the start of the world generation / game loading right at the start (like a couple mm of blue loading bar which i think the screen starts on and then it won't continue...after a while the crash report comes).

i've send you two yesterday via e-mail.

EDIT: for clarification, i never had this problem before ... but i also haven't played it for a while. saw all the new updates and the 1.4 with the new mouse controls and wanted to jump right back in. hope this is fixable.

Xerberus, didn't received anything from you.
Which email did you used?

[Xerberus86]

i used [e-mail] ... is there another one you prefer? i added two 7zip files with the attachments...maybe your e-mail server didn't like them and blocked me :/.

get it from google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByAthz5DCekcal9QM25WUUVmeHc/view?usp=sharing

Edit: ... System specs:

Win10 X64

Intel Core i5 4440
8 GR RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7850 (newest version, but no WHQL anymore cuz oldish GPU)

Using Win10 Avir System so i doubt it's that.

EDIT 2: funny thing is, when i tried "win7 compatibility" then it would start the game ...load the intro (dev title / symbol + intro animation) which i canceled with LMB and then instantly close the game without creating a crash dump.

when i used admin rights on it then it started the game for a millisecond just to close it up again.

...kinda weird stuff going on.

EDIT3: i think it might have something to do with the detail settings. it crashed on me in the settings menue when i tried switching from "good" (highest) to "fastest" (lowest). when i picked the lowest (fastest) setting in the launcher he still showed me "good" (the highest) in the options menue. quite weard.

Xerberus86, this one is fine, I just wanted to know where to look.
Got it.

weirdly my e-mail didn't catch the 2nd attachment but sent two times the same file. the google drive link also has another crash dump from yesterday.

[Xerberus86]

I tried putting everything on low (simple) and also setting the planar conquest AMD profile on "app controlled" in terms of AA, sampling etc. ... it also crashed but the crashlog seems to have produced some different lines...so i uploaded this also on google drive:

EDIT: just tried running the game using my onboard gpu (intel hd 4600) it runs like crab...halfway acceptable at EVERYTHING on low but it runs and doesn't crash. so definitely a GPU related issue.

I think Validating is fixing it. I dont know what happened, but about 1/2 of my old games say they need to "reaquire" files....Weird. Anyways, big fan of your work. I liked world of magic....I hope you guys keep perfecting your craft in bringing Master of Magic into the modern age XD

Have you tried:
1.Run the game in DirectX9 mode
2. Reinstall DirectX11
3. Install newest graphics driver with fresh installation if available as option.
4. Try running the game from the folder instead of steam, with option "Run as Administrator".
