June 7, 201114 yr I've got the following problem: When I try to start the demo from Steam, it is simply crashes to the desktop. I've tried: 1. Update drivers and DirectX 2. Re-install the demo 3. Triple checked the integrity of Steam files 4. Re-installed VC++ 2008 Redistributable (both non SP and SP1). 5. In addition to the 2008 redist, I've installed the 2010 and 2005 redistributables. Still no luck 6. Monitored HW - no problems detected 7. Restarted OS several times 8. Tried to run from Admin 9. Tried to run with compatibility mode (XP and Vista) I just ran out of the ideas what to do next. My specs: OS: Windows 7 x64 Professional with SP1 CPU: i7-2600 @ 3.40GHz (SandyBridge) M/B: ASUS P8P67 Pro (B3 rev) RAM: 4Gb DDR3 Video: AMD Radeon 5770HD (PowerColor, 1Gb GDDR5) Other software installed (which may interfere in my thoughts): Visual Studio 2010 (as a programmer, cannot live without it) and Visual Studio 2008 All other titles run just fine, without any problems. Info from EventLog is in the attached file: ErrorLog.xml Could you be so kind please and help me with this issue? I believe this issue is not the one and personal, since I've noticed couple of identical complains on Steam forums. Thanks!
June 7, 201114 yr First Duke Nukem Forever with the demo and now this ... its like they dont give a dam about ATI cards anymore XD People have even the most recent cards "best ones" and they still have problems with the game ... Please find a fix for it or something ... Just look at this steam thread ... http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...d.php?t=1920471
June 7, 201114 yr Game runs fine on my 5850, so I wouldn't just assume that everyone with Ati has problems or they don't care. Having this kind of bugs, or indeed, any bug sucks though, so I'm sorry you have to deal with this kind of problem. Hope a solution can be found soon.
June 7, 201114 yr Author Game runs fine on my 5850, so I wouldn't just assume that everyone with Ati has problems or they don't care. I totally agree with the assumption about AMD/ATI. The demo crashes happily on the nVidia cards too, according to the forums topics in Internet.
June 7, 201114 yr By the error log, it seems to be some problem with the VC redistributable. As you've checked and double checked, I'm stumped. Perhaps you should search the net for previous problems between Visual Studio games that use the redistributable. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
June 7, 201114 yr Game crashed for me too on startup. Had to restart Steam, then it worked. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
June 7, 201114 yr Author Perhaps you should search the net for previous problems between Visual Studio games that use the redistributable. Thanks, already did that. However, the problems with VS and games were resolved by the game patches (most frequent were UbiSoft games). Also, I tried all versions of VC++ redistributables available at this moment with demo - no luck. How I tried - deleted all other redistributables and install one at the time (deleting previous ones).
June 7, 201114 yr Author Game crashed for me too on startup. Had to restart Steam, then it worked. Unfortunately this is not helping, but thanks. Also, for some unknown reason, the integrity check always re-downloads one file (InstallScript.vdf). I've compared the couple of versions between downloads - they are identical to the last bit.

June 8, 201114 yr I'm really at a loss as to why your crash is happening. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
June 8, 201114 yr Problem still exists. I suppose you are the same UkrainianDM who is on the Steam forum? Otherwise, you should go there, there is a thread where someone is gathering information to try and resolve the bug.
June 8, 201114 yr There's another guy on Steam's forums with the same problem that is also Ukrainian. Follow the instructions by ObsidianEnt here.

June 8, 201114 yr Author I suppose you are the same UkrainianDM who is on the Steam forum? You're right, I use same UID on the different forums. And I highly disappointed with this bug, so I try to reach someone who may help with the problem by the all ways possible.
June 8, 201114 yr Author Finally there is a solution for my (and most possible others) problem: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...d.php?t=1921943
June 8, 201114 yr my language is already set to English US and getting the error ... so it doesnt fix anything for me XD
June 8, 201114 yr Author The problem narroved down to the following: - The demo runs properly if your location set to "USA".
