Might be corrupt drivers. RE: Demo crashes upon starting - tek01 - 09-09-2010 I Have done as suggested but still no go. Its a new series card (HD5870) so i dont believe it falls into the category of the x series ati cards? Really want to have a go at this game, and buy the full release on pre-order but wont do so until im able to play it. All my drivers are up to date, bios, windows updates, direct x are all newest releases Maybe i should try an older driver perhaps? Is there any more info i can give you to help me?? EDIT: Have just confirmed a member of another forum has played it with 10.8 drivers and the same video card so problem must be specific to my computer =( RE: Demo crashes upon starting *PARTLY SOLVED* - tek01 - 09-09-2010 I Know what is causing the game to crash. Its the menus I installed the latest drivers 3 times also used driver cleaner to make sure its completely gone but still didnt fix. All graphics low, everything disabled still didnt work. Also downloaded a non steam version of the demo as well with same issue. anyway not important what i did was. open main_settings.cfg file and changed <Main ShowMenu="true" to <Main ShowMenu="false" Now it doesnt have the full intro at the start with gamma selection and profile name. It goes straight to the game. Heres the catch... As soon as i hit "ESC" key it crashes exactly like before so the game is still not playable Devs, help please need your expertise! Really hanging to play PS: Dxdiag.txt is attached just in case EDIT: Also, pressing the M ley in game is no problem. Its only the escape key menu (assuming there is one) RE: Demo crashes upon starting *PARTLY SOLVED* - Thomas - 09-09-2010 Perhaps try these hots fixes: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3754-post-33637.html#pid33637 Also check A.5: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3754.html RE: Demo crashes upon starting *PARTLY SOLVED* - tek01 - 09-09-2010 A.5 is reporting Renderer: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series so that seems fine, downloading the hotfix but i doubt it would work EDIT: Yep as suspected, hotfix didnt work, either did latest version of openAL (09-09-2010, 12:42 PM)Thomas Wrote: Perhaps try these hots fixes: |
