FEAR 2 Crash-Fix

Finally fixed it the following way after i've verified the Game Cache:

1. Ran it with admin rights - Didn't work.
2. Updated sound drivers - Didn't work.
3. Deleted wblogo2.vib and monolithbumper.vib under \Steam\SteamApps\common\FEAR2\Game\interface\videos - Didn't work (but got a different error-code)
3. Installed all files under \Steam\SteamApps\common\FEAR2\Support manually - Didn't work.
4. Deleted all Files under \Users\Username\Documents\WBGames and removed Read-Only - Didn't work.
5. Extracted the contents of WMFADist.exe under \Steam\SteamApps\common\FEAR2\Support with 7-zip and copied the l3codeca.acm into the mainfolder from the Game - WORKS!

Just had to spam Enter or ESC while starting the game until i saw the gamespy logo.

I've posted all steps so you may be able to get it working for sure, but maybe Step 3 and 5 are enough. Happy playing if it work for you :)

Added the extension pack and now the game does not work. How do you get hold of steam to get a refund?

i just wanna play

[Spicy Himalaya]

none of this makes sense to me

as i'm reading the comments i am seeing step 5 works. now im not a computer wizard so how exactly do i go about completing this step? i've re-installed the game 3 times and nothing happens. just a black screen. steam support hasn't really helped either so if any of you could give me a couple pointers that'd be great.
