[Error] The Game Won't Launch

[x25killa]

Hi, I have downloaded and installed RO2 beta via steam.

When I launch the game, it seems to "hang" with the RO2game.exe crashing/refusing to load into the main menu.

I have tried using Redistributable file for the Unreal Engine with no problems but I keep getting the same crash, I even attempted to update DirectX! But to no avail, it still doesn't launch.

I made sure my graphics card drivers were up to date.

The specs on my machine are:

Windows 7 32bit
Intel Core2 Duo E8500
4GB ram
AMd Radeon HD 6670

I have attached the dumpfile named Launch from My Games > UnrealEngine3 > ROGame > Logs

I hope this helps out

 

[LeopoldStotch]

same problem, no solution that I am aware of yet.

I hope the devs take a look at our dump files.

 

[Count_Jeffrey]

Same here, I have same CPU as orginal poster and Windows 7 64 bit

 

[LeopoldStotch]

Okay, now this is taking form at least.

All of us have the same problem, and all of us have the same CPU.

Report in this thread, lets see if there are more of us so we can narrow this down for certain.

I'm having this problem aswell, although my specs are a bit different.

Yesterday RO2 crashed on server menu, today after the update it wont even launch - it sends a crash message right away.

I have run Redistributable file for the Unreal Engine.

System specs:
AMD Phenom II 955 X4 3,2Ghz
Asus M4N78
Chieftec A135 550W
3GB DDR2 800
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Windows XP Service Pack 3

Ati catalyst ver 11.8

Here's the crash report from UnrealEngine3/ROGame/Logs:

- sorry for double post, I'm not familiar with this forum -

Oh wait, I got same cpu, Intel core 2 duo, now that's something.And it doesn't launch for me too.

Also the E8500?
Or another one?

 

[x25killa]

That is very strange...

Glad to know I'm not the only one in the dark. Damn you E8500s!

 

[Kuikka]

Crashing is not related to your system spec it seems (http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=58706), so this crash issue is more common.

I would like to know what the update did - it's a downgrade in my case when I compare it to yesterdays version.

 

[LeopoldStotch]

Do you people also have steam on a different partition from windows?
And what motherboards do you have?

 

[x25killa]

P5K motherboard.

Steam folder is on the C:\ which is only main drive I use.

 

[SalisburyJim]

I have the same problem but different specs
I ran the redistributable and did a reinstall and still get the same crash

 

[LedoS]

It's 6800 but no letter, also IDK what motherboard I have, my steam is on C:\ (main) but I have 2 HDs, I only use the main one tho.

i have a pentium 4 and it happens to me, so maybe our cpu's just suck ***? do we have to upgrade no idea

Possible Fix that worked for me:

Delete your config files (located in Documents/My Games/UnrealEngine3/ROGame/Config folder) and let the game regenerate them.

I had zero launch crashes at first, then started getting this and was unable to start the game. Deleting the config files fixed the problem and allowed me to start the game again. Of course this will reset all your settings requiring to redo them.

Points to either a possible corruption of the config files or an issue in that a setting set by the game becomes incompatible with your system, causing the launch crash.

lScorchl, what you suggested above has worked for me. I had a nasty blue screen last night while playing RO2 and the config files must have been corrupted by that. Everytime I tried to start it up today I got first splash screen and the appcrash.

Thank you very much! Now I can get back to blowing up :IS2:'s

 

[Rinorak]

It didn't work for me! I installed the redist and update all the drivers, i also deleted the config folder but it is still crashing at start..
I have a notebook so different specs but still good to run this game.. Any help?
