Game shuts down at menu

Anarchisteve · 09-01-2011, 05:47 AM

I've tried to play this game a few times and each time it shuts down just as the menu is about to open. I've tried verifying the files and it doesn't find a problem.

Does anybody have a solution? I'm using Vista 32bit if that helps.

I have the same issue. I've tried changing compatibility modes and running as administrator. None of this is fixing the problem. It's a shame because the other 2 games in the series work. So buyer beware until we get a solution.

I have emailed the developer about this problem and will post if and when they respond.

Similar Problem,

when I start Steam (->Post Mortem) with User-Rights, the Program shuts down, right before the Menu should appear.

But when I start Steam (->Post Mortem) with Admin-Rights, there is no Problem.

I have installed Post Mortem with Admin-Rights and I have checked the Write-Permission for Users "Steam\SteamApps\Common\Post Mortem" (Registry also checked, but there is no Entry). Normally this works with most of the Programs, which have Problems with User-Accounts.

System: Windows XP Pro SP3

I'm having the exact same problem.

I tried running as Adminitrator, but it still crashes at the main menu.

If I discover anything I'll post, but I'm already mildly frustrated.

Windows Vista 32 bit
Intel Core 2 Quad core

Still waiting for a response. If anybody would like me to PM them when I hear something let me know and I will be happy to do so.

I'd like a heads up if you can. Hope to play it some day.

Issue present here as well, running on Vista x64. Instant crash after developer intro video and when pressing Esc to skip through it. I hope this problem gets a work around real soon, otherwise I just wasted $10.

I run Vista x64 and i have gotten it to work by making steam start up in administrator mode, press cancel if steam gives a warning about running in combatible mode and log into steam as usual.. it works now for me on my machine.. hope it will help you guys too
