Game Not Launching

[Clarence Tso]

I downloaded it and put in my CD key. Now when I go to the launcher and click "Launch Dark Void" nothing happens!

[HortyWeevil]

Same here. . . . real disapointing

[Pockeystix]

Yeah, is there any remedy of any sort for this? Was really looking forward to flyin' around.

[~Long Long Man~]

Same here!

Doesn't work. Still not launching.

Check that ya anti-virus isn't blocking the launcher application, I know of someone who uses Avast and it was picking it up as a virus which isn't true it's a false positive.

Exclude the following in ya anti-virus from any further searches and fingers crossed it should work.

The Launcher.exe found here C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Dark Void or where ever you have the game installed.

The ShippingPC-SkyGame which can be found here C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Dark Void\nativePC\Binaries again or where ever you have the game installed

Completely disabled AVG, still nothing.

Not working for me, either. The Launch Window pops up and when I click launch, nothing happens other than, my working cursor spins for a few and stops. I check Task Manager and there's no game running.

Completely disabling won't make any difference, you've got to exclude the games .exe from your anti-virus. Just turning it off won't matter as when you turn the antu-virus back on it will just block the exe, you've got to exclude it so that it won't stop it from workin.

Yeah, this is exactly what happens for me. I watch the border of my profile in the bottom right turn green when the launcher pops up, then a few seconds later, it's blue again.

Well it doesn't matter what happens when I turn it back on. It doesn't work while off, it won't work while on.

It's not working because the anit-virus is blocking it from launching, so you've got to add the exe to the exclude list in your anti-virus so that it doesn't scan the games exe and stop it from launching.

I can't for the life of me find a place on my antivirus that says anything about exe files being stopped, or a place to allow certain files through.

I got mine to work after doing a few things. Had nothing to do with my AV software at all. I went into the files and reinstalled both PhysX applications and started the game through Steam and it worked.

Hunter, could you explain how you did it? I'm not terribly computer savvy..
