Purchased today.. Installed it.. and game does not start..

installed my retail fews weeks ago and playing without a problem, but on my 2. pc with windows 7

i had to set the resolution in an .ini file because it started in 1600x1200 or even a less 4:3 resolution

you guys could try to set ur windows resolution that far low before starting the game, maybe its failing because of that

Edit:

or check the .ini for the correct resolution:

Go to the configuration file(s) location: <path-to-game>\data\configuration\game
there edit settings.xml.
Set the ENGINE_RESOLUTION_X and ENGINE_RESOLUTION_Y values to the resolution you want.
Save the changes and close the file and try agin

gl

I made the game work like this :
Set the ENGINE_RESOLUTION_X = 1024 and ENGINE_RESOLUTION_Y = 768
Set the ENGINE_FULLSCREEN value to 0
Save the changes and close the file.

it works for me even on WHQD in 2560x1440 after changing the .ini file but as mentioned, on Windows 7

getting an error message when exiting the game btw ...game no more functioning, bla bla , but it does

I also purchased the game today and faced with the same error on startup. Using Win 11 Home.

I made these changes and the game started but in a windowed mode and textures glitch when i move over the cursor on them.

Where do I have to go to do this step: "I made the game work like this :
Set the ENGINE_RESOLUTION_X = 1024 and ENGINE_RESOLUTION_Y = 768
Set the ENGINE_FULLSCREEN value to 0
Save the changes and close the file."?

Please, explain it to me in "human" terms.

dude , read the whole thread. i explained it few centimeters above

Go to the configuration file(s) location: <path-to-game>\data\configuration\game

there edit ---> settings.xml.

path to game --> Right click on your game in steam libary --> find : Browse local files

open file setings.xml and search for :

ENGINE_RESOLUTION_X and ENGINE_RESOLUTION_Y ...and set to values matching your monitors resolution.
Save the changes and close the file and try agin

If its not working...try to lower the resolution for example as dngisla did in the thread

OR....... just Delete the settings.ini

game will boot up right away

I solved it like this: i have an oled 2k (2560 x 1440) monitor but i edit the "setting.xml" "ENGINE_RESOLUTION_X" and "ENGINE_RESOLUTION_Y" on 1920x1080, then i edit also the "ENGINE_FULLSCREEN" line from "1" to "0". Now the game start windowed but it's perfect.
