Doesn't work in Windows 10
I can't get this game to launch, no matter what WIndows compatibility I set it to, run it as admin, etc. What's the effing deal?

For you, maybe. Please don't reply unless you have something to contribute in aiding those with the issue.

Then maybe actually post specs and error messages. Saying something "Doesn't run" and giving ♥♥♥♥ all for an explanation doesn't exactly do anything to GET help either.

I'm having this problem too. It goes into the first time setup then brings up the logo. After that all I get is a blank white window. Tried compatability mode and that doesn't work either.

"I have this problem! My car won't start!"

"What a cooincidence, Mine won't either!"

..Mechanic stares blankly, Waiting for them to still mention what make and model they have, And all the other crucial details.

No problems running on Windows 10 here, just tried it, and I'm not running it in compatibility mode.

The problem could be 100 different things. Try the obvious things for your fix. I run through a list when my games don't work. This is a method some refer to as troubleshooting. First, check game integrity through steam, if that doesn't work, reinstall it, if that doesn't work, check graphics card setup, maybe it conflicts with the game, check screen resolution, etc. Compatibility should be a last resort, not a first step as a fix all. So far, I have yet to find a game where compatibility mode was actually necessary to get it running on Windows 10. Just saying.
patch windows, get latest drivers for graphics card. thats a good start.

Greg Nov 7, 2015 @ 9:17am 
has anybody try it on windows 7
Greg Nov 7, 2015 @ 9:19am 
it work fine with no problems
I couldn't get DNF or any games to run on Win 10. Tried with a brand new Toshiba i7 laptop with an independent AMD graphics card. Checked game integrity (multiple games), reinstalled game(s) (on steam, from another site, and from disks), played with screen resolution, finally tried compatibility mode, etc. Nothing. I exchanged the Toshiba for another (thinking lemon), same issue. Finally I exchanged the 2nd Win 10 laptop for a Win 8.1 laptop - not my fav system but most games including this one work fine again.

I still need to look up drivers I need for some older games, but I was surprised that games that came out in 2015 weren't compatible with Win 10. I guess some guys are going to be running Win 7 for a couple more years.
