Hi, CBT. I suggest starting with your PC specs.

Go to Help in the top of Steam, then System Information. Right click in the new window that appears, select all, then copy and paste all of that here.

Also, tell us with as much detail as you can what happens when you try to run the game from your Steam library. Do not use any shortcuts for now. Just use the "play" button for the game in your library.

After you click play, watch closely what exactly you see happening, including any error messages that come up, if any. Post them in exact words if so.

There is another thread here that we were trying to help in where the user is trying to get an older game to run on Windows 10 also. You have to keep in mind that with some games that have "XP" in the OS supported list on the store page on Steam, they might need a bit of tweaking to get the games to run on Windows 10.

"MOST" of the time, this is not an issue, but sometimes it is. I can't say that is the case here with this game, but I would try running the game in Compatibility mode for Windows XP SP 2 and set that up for the .exe of the game.

Also, if the game just closes without opening up and back to the "play" button, that could be a software conflict.

Number one thing is to make sure all Steam games and Steam itself are listed as exceptions in any security software you have on your PC, which includes antivirus programs.

Any security process needs to be leaving Steam and games alone in real-time scanning.

Other programs that might cause this are listed here :

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9828-SFLZ-9289

I also suggest looking in the Binding of Isac forums to see if anyone else has had issues trying to get the game running such as you have. Sometimes, that is a good way to find the problem you have.

Looking at your specs, that PC should run this game and the DLC, so I am leaning towards a Windows 10 issue with older games, or maybe conflicting software causing issues with the game running.

Ok so Xp SP 2 did not work with launching it. It did the same thing. I don't think my security and firewall is messing with the game.

Do you have any mods installed? If so, deinstall all of them.

[MR1BOOMBOX]

i do not have mods.

Try other operating systems, just in case. Windows 7 would be my next suggestion.

There are programs on the support page, including processes, that are not security ones :

Don't forget to verify the game files each time before you try to run the game.

I think I just have typical windows security and firewall. i don't know exactly where to even look to disable it if it is messing with steam. Also, switching to 7 did not solve the solution. I don't know why my pc gives me such a hard time with this game, but no others.

[The Giving One]

Don't forget to check the game forum and use the search box there to look for other cases. You might be surprised, but many times you can see people got things fixed by doing something you never even thought of, especially with older games on a newer operating system.

I have to go now but will check back on the thread tomorrow. Others may post to try to help, too. Good luck in either case.

He also have "Radeon RX 580 Series" its under the Intel onboard.

You sure the DLC is activated, under steam DLC section, or as seen in Behesdas games, own game launcher that need a checkbox apply, maybe this game has same issue here.

I dont have the game so i dont know.

Why would you tell somebody to run a game from 2014 that got constant updates with he last one just about 2 weeks ago to run the game in win xp compability? That doesn't malke any sense at all.
And why would you ask for hardware specifications and then not even bother looking at them?

Let's have a look at OPs hardware:

Video Card:
Driver: Intel(R) HD Graphics 630

DirectX Card: Radeon RX 580 Series

The Intel HD 630 deosn't meet the minimum requirements for Repenteance, wich is now a GeForce 900 series. So most likely the game doesn't detect the dedicated RX 580 or has issues with the driver and tries to use the integrated gpu instead. Issues like this are listed in a pinned thread for known issues on the games forum:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/250900/discussions/0/613941122558099449/

Atleast that's a much more logical explanation than the win xp compability stuff you came up with just because you experienced it in a completely unrelated topic.

[Iceira]

USA going to sleep now, thats why he is off to bed. you need to relax abit Global chat is not that easy,

And we are not support here , this is user forum only.

and i doubt even CBT is online now.

It was a suggestion, and XP is clearly covered in the OS supported list on the store page. So that is why I suggested it. All one has to do is set that in the .exe for the game and it takes only seconds anyway, even to reverse if it does not work. It's not like telling someone to reinstall their OS or anything, after all.

Originally posted by Prof.Jackie:

Just because I missed a certain detail, that I admit is important and I see now, that does not mean I did not look at the specs. I always look at specs when users post them, but I am human like everyone else, and missed that point about the GPU. I even looked at the specs on the store pages for the game and some DLC and was wondering at that time if all the DLC would work on the OP's hardware. You don't have to be so abrasive to correct someone and help them see they missed something, to better help others and the ones like me that missed the point in the first place.

[Iceira]

Well i hope you get the info givenone, because im off soon, and CBT seem to have same timezone as you.

DLC sections and maybe even own launcher as Behesda with addon apply also.

Yes, and thanks for seeing the issue with the GPU. Probably another Windows update installing and updating all the GPU drivers for the on board GPU and maybe causing a GPU driver conflict.
