I bought the game two weeks ago through steam and I have yet to play the game. I tried everything from deleting the folder in my documents to re-installing windows. I would LOVE to play this game but there seems to be no fix for this bug. Oh well.

Played game for 2 hours

Played game for 2 hours

At least that what it says in the steam Library. More like 2 hours of attempting to get it to work,run,load. Cant get a dump file. Anyone working on this? Checked integrity of game files 3 times. Bought a better graphics card to make sure. Had to upgrade my power supply ,Deleted files , Re-uploaded, rechecked files. UnrealEngine3 <not responding> . Played RO for years without a problem. Helped test Darkest Hour, No problems.
RO2 Game 39.95
Nvidia Graphics card 120.00
600 watt power supply 89.00
Patience left ? 0

For me guys it was Punkbuster.... definitely, if i tried updating pb i would crash or get errors and kicked from game.

I loaded a fresh win7 install today, updated drivers etc, game loaded and ran but had pb errors, tried fixing it and then i started crashing on load screen, I had created a restore point before i dicked around, restored and it ran fine just with the pb error, which the below fixed.


Try uninstalling pb using add/remove programs, check its gone from here...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\Binaries\Win32

download pbsetup here... http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-hos.php

Add game (Red Orchestra 2) you may have to browse to the right folder (the one above) update, let it do its thing.

This may work for one or two of you.

Fingers crossed.

A lot of you who aren't loading are stalling/crashing when the shaders are being loaded. Here's the fix for you. (this doesn't mean all of you are fixed!)

Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\ROGame\CookedPC

There should be a load of .u, .upk, and other assorted files. Delete the files that aren't in folders (leave the folders alone!)

Then go into steam and validate the RO2 game cache. This will re-download those files.

Have been away for over a week so just got a chance to try this.
Found 45 files and deleted .. then validate cache.

Got a message:
"45 files failed to validate and will be reacquired."

Waited for download .. launched game .. and same issue.
The game won't load beyond the splash screen.

I am ready to return the game to Best Buy .. way more time and trouble then it's worth!!!

Address = 0x6d35c12e (filename not found) [in C:\Windows\system32\nvapi.dll]

Don't know if this helps but I don't have a "nvapi.dll" but instead "nvapi64.dll"

If any of you are crashing on splash screen if you have tried most of the fixes would you mind trying the fix that works for me, then if it is a cure for one or two TWI may look into it.

It only takes a few minutes, i have to do this each day i play.

Right:

1) Uninstall pb in add/remove programmes

2) Delete pb folder here...C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\Binaries\Win32

3) Run and install pbsvc_hos from here....C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\Binaries\windows

4) Download pbsetup from here.....http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

5) Install pbsetup, add RO2 and point it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\Binaries\Win32 (as you are replacing the one we deleted) up date, once complete close pbsetup.

6) Cross fingers and launch RO2.


Maybe, just maybe this may help one or two, try it guys, this is the only way i can play since the last update.

Good luck:)

Mine doesn't crash at splash screen .. it never gets past the splash screen, just as many others here have posted in this and other threads.

None of the suggestions have helped.

3 weeks and no solution from TWI??

I have yet to play the game and bought it two weeks ago through steam.

Maybe its steam causing the problem and not RO2?

Please help :/

Please help :/

Ok, I bought the game recently and got the files and updated etc. I installed everything and tried to run the game... on the splash screen i get the rogame.exe error. Thus i can't even get into the game. I've tried all the tips and supposed fixes i could find on the forums and by using google. NOTHING has worked.

Here is the Log file and dump:

Game is going back.

Game is going back.

No reason why I have to make such a huge effort to try to get this game to work. Can not get a dump file. Last log dmp file in RO2 was over a gig in size. Crashed my notepad just trying to look at it. Deleted the game, reinstalled 3 times already. I did not have this much problems with IL-2 Sturmovic and all the huge files that needed to be loaded for ultra pack,and all the new versions that came out every few months. Sorry tripwire . You guys really dropped the ball on this one.

Just downloaded the latest update, but the game still hangs at the splash screen.

I always get a Microsoft error report with some dmp files in a temp folder.
Would those be of any help if I can upload them?

The game never loads, so I don't get a launch file even when following instructions here.

OK, going again with the logging parameter (my game hangs usually during the splash screen, producing no log, no dmp and will start after many tries).

I have added the copy from the commandline output, there it hangs usually after "Log: PhysX GPU Support: ENABLED". I also added a log from a successful start maybe for comparing it.

Guys, on your splash screen do you have a "continue" button?
I had the same problem, didnt see the "continue" button. Why? (damn noob). Cause the screen resolution.
I turn it to window mode and changed my resolution, and "voil
