Alright so doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkTkxHBgmyU Makes the game work, but as soon as you plug in a controller it crashes. Still talking with tech Support on this.

i also had this issue , but i found a way to "fix" this problem ,not sure if you already done this and your game is still crashing , plug your controller after you started the game not before. thats seems to work for me and also it fixed another issue i used to have that the game didnt have sound for some reason if i put the controller.

Installing this, then rebooting my CPU fixed it for me!

Reboot Your PC or close Steam and check the configuration file (C:>Program Files x86>Steam>Steamapps>common>QWANT>config.ini) and check if the resolution is the adecuated to your display and not ther anything strange like a x16 msaa.

To play it, I have to open the task manager and end the game from the background tasks. For some reason, after you quit, it is still open in the background and won't start unless it is completely cleared. Hope this helps.

I just fixed this problem. The problem here is that this game was made to run on windows 8. Some, if not all of us are using windows 10 or 11. The DLLs needed for the game to work isn't on our newer windows OS, it's on the Windows 8 OS. This is how I solved that problem.

You need to run a Windows 8 virtual machine on your current Windows machine.
1. install virtual box
2. Download the windows 8 iso file. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO
3. Add a new virtual machine to virtual box using the windows 8 iso and boot the virtual machine. Don't worry if it crashes.
4. Start the game.

I'm still trying to understand this myself but I think when the windows 8 vm is installed, it's DLLs are saved on the host machine. These are the same DLLs our game needs to start, so the game finds them during startup and it actually starts.

My original plan was to play the game in the windows 8 virtual machine. Once I figured out that the game was made in 2008, I knew it must be compatible with Windows 8 which was the latest Windows OS during that time. And as such it has the correct DLLs need to play the game . But my virtual machine crashed. I then simply tried running the game again on my machine and it work. You can call it luck I guess.

If previous direct downloads from microsoft don't work:MANUAL METHOD- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package-18d278e8-1c79-2630-e8ae-e9f4679b2393 . DL both x86(32bit) and x64 versions for good measure and install. Assuming x64 machine copy/paste %WinDir%\SysWow64 in Explorer search for msvcr120.dll and c/p directly into Desktop\steamlibrary\steamapps\common\QWANT. Repeat with msvcp120.dll. x64 versions opened in fullscreen x86 open in small.

For whatever reason game is missing those two specific .dll files. If you have NUNS2 and 3 HD version, you may have to repeat. I haven't tested them yet. They weren't opening either. Sigh.
