Game Wont Start

TimeStamp12 · 03-31-2011, 10:15 AM

When I try to launch Watchmen, it comes up with the "first time setup" following the launch window to select your specifications.

No matter what I select, once i click "play" the window disappears and the game never starts up. When i go to re-try, this process continues all over again.

I was reading through the "multi-launcher" problem page and I uninstalled the games, re-downloaded it, deleted the DirectX and following lines; the game still doesn't want to come up after the launch window.

also want to note, the game did work for my previously

I think your problem stems from you using a ATI Graphics Card on a Nvidia Chipset based motherboard and an old chipset at that. nforce boards work best with Nvidia Graphics cards.
